Hi all -- Casual/occasional video production guy here. I shot a parade recently using an HPX-170 in one continuous take, using slow pans. I edited in Sony Vegas 10 using a 30fps timeline widescreen DV template. Here's the footage: https://youtu.be/VNpkPHF2pw0 (Just click to the middle...

Hi all - On my old DVX100 I'm able to record multiple clips (in this case sports highlights from a football game, pausing in between the action during huddles) and then, after capture using Sony Vegas Pro 10, it shows up as one large clip. I like this because I can easily scroll through the...

I say rare because in the eight years I've owned my three DVX cams, I've never had a problem with playback. My least used and newest of the three cameras has suddenly stopped playing back properly in VCR mode. There are thick blue horizontal lines scattered throughout the image. I ran a tape...

Hi all - Running Vegas Pro version 10. I have a 90-minute dance recital shot using the 24PA Squeeze mode on my DVX. Final product will be delivered on standard DVD. What is the best render template to use for this? (just upgraded from an older version and there are some new templates in...

Are tracks "separateable" once a render occurs in digital video/audio production? Is there a tool out there (or is it even possible) to edit the separate audio tracks of a piece of rendered audio? For example, I have a corporate client product video from a couple years ago archived onto a...

Well, I've never uploaded photos to the forum before and they sort of look like thumbnails as I am writing this. Either way, this is tonight's venue, another "stage-in-the-middle-of-nowhere" festival show. I will be arming myself with some of the advice I've received in this thread, which (at...

A video production friend asked me if I could shoot a local cover band at a concert for a DVD. The go-between asked me if I would be using the on-board mic to capture the audio. I told him,"Hell no, I'll be using three cameras with one directly linked to the audio board." The end result was the...

Hi all - Quick Vegas question for you regarding MPEG-2 rendering. I take footage from the local city council meeting (usually 1-3 hours, depending on length of meeting), capture it to Vegas, then output to an MPEG-2 file which is uploaded to the city's software program that replays the meeting...

Hi all - I'm editing a multi-cam shoot using Sony Vegas 8.0. I have three DVX cameras that I used to use for this shoot, but since the original DVX doesn't have the 'squeeze mode' I decided to make it a two-camera shoot using my 100A & 100B models. Having never used the squeeze option before...

Hi all - I've always been a strict adherent to copyright rules. I do not infringe and frown upon the practice. With that said, I've often wondered about the issue of automobiles in our movies. We always use cars in our films/commercials/shorts/whatever, so what is the extent of copyright law...

Hi gang - Just a curiousity question here. I've shot some DVX footage using the 24Pa mode using the DVX's letterbox aspect ratio setting. When editing in Vegas, should I use the 24p DV or the 24p Widescreen template setting? I'm noticing wide black spaces on the Vegas monitor to the left...

Hi all - I'm wondering if anyone else has had this problem. About 50% of the time I turn on Vegas Pro (8.0c Build 260), the scroll area at the bottom of the timeline where you scroll left to right and adjust the zoom size of the timelines is just blank. It's just a black rectangular area. The...
