Vegas 5... I'm doing this right?

Re: Vegas 5... I'm doing this right?

I see.


So will I have my project in 24fps when it's ready to watch on dvd?

Do I continue editing on 29.97?

or should I switch the settings to 23.97?
 
Re: Vegas 5... I'm doing this right?

You should be able to switch with no problem, but remember to set the ruler to 23.97.

For a 24p DVD, follow the steps in the Whitepaper.
 
Re: Vegas 5... I'm doing this right?

This is weird but when I open a clip in the trimmer

Project: (inblack) 720X480X32, 23.97Oi
Preview: (inred) 360X240X32, 23.97Op

In the media section when I put the clip in the timeline it's says 29.97... I'm confused.
 
Re: Vegas 5... I'm doing this right?

Close it out and start a new project from scratch. Pick NTSC DV 24p Widescreen as your template. Try again.
 
Re: Vegas 5... I'm doing this right?

Ditto.

Just did that... Is my screen supposed look like it's full screen frame?
Because it is looking like that.

Same when I go to trimmer.

But it's all at 23.97

The difference when I had 23.97 on trimmer first time around when it was 29.97 in the media, the screen looked same (widescreen) as the media 29.97.

And now when I go to trimmer I can't open the clips, It's says NONE. But they are in my media files.
 
Re: Vegas 5... I'm doing this right?

You're sure you picked NTSC 24p Widescreen, and not NTSC 24p?

As you opened a new project, you'll have to re-import (not recapture) your media files.
 
Re: Vegas 5... I'm doing this right?

When you click the down arrow next to the "(None)", it doesn't list your clips?

Try dropping a clip into the trimmer directly.

Right click on the preview window and make sure "Simulate Device Aspect Ratio" is checked.

If that doesn't work, try to post a screenshot.

okay I've copy all the clips from media and drag it to trimmer it's all there now, didn't have to do that the first time around but now I guess I had to. I switched the preview window to Simulate Device Aspect Ratio, and now it looks different. When I play the video it looks fuzzy. I also noticed that in my project properties my ruler was set to 29.97, which do I switch it to the SMPTE film sync (24 fps, film) or SMPTE film sync IVTC (23.97 fps, video).

oh... is it fuzzy beacuse it's on preview (auto) is that the reason. I switch it to Best (auto) looks better. But when I play a clip in the trimmer it's widescreen but when I put a clip on the timeline the clip becomes smaller and there are black lines on the sides also, not like the widescreen where the black line are only on the top and bottom.
 
Re: Vegas 5... I'm doing this right?

You must have some non-squeeze material in there, then. It will "pillarbox" non-anamorphic material that way.

You should set the ruler to 23.97.
 
Re: Vegas 5... I'm doing this right?

I've shot some scenes outside without the 16:9 adapter, so I have some clips without that. I'm not sure if that's the matter.
 
Re: Vegas 5... I'm doing this right?

Yes. That is very much the matter. Those clips will be 4:3 unless you shot in squeeze mode.
 
Re: Vegas 5... I'm doing this right?

Well I'm pretty much done the rough cut right now. Just go back and maybe switch some footage, fix up some cuts and put it translations.

After that... Should I got and fix up the sound. How can I do that in Vegas.

After matching the sound, start doing things like color corrections, fx, etc.
