Right, Ive finished my AMV in Vegas. Now how do I compress?

This forum is for questions and discussion of all the aspects of handling your footage. If you have questions about capturing/ripping footage, AviSynth, or compression/encoding/converting, look here.

did you deinterlace? if you did then use progressive scan on your export (ima continue helping you in this thread that way i dont end up jumping back and forth)

how much space do you have on your hard drive?

Right, Thanks for continuing to help me ^^. Um, I dont know what de-interlace is :P

I have 9.06 GB left of HD, and I am pretty sure that is enough, I checked the file that was cut off, and was only 1.5 GB at most.

No, I havent tried Uncompressed, is that good? I mean, it doesnt even have a name like huffy or Laga.

Just as its name suggests, Uncompressed RGB (or "None" for codec choice) means that the raw RGB data is written to the file with no compression. If you export at millions of colors, every pixel will take up 24 bits. If you export at millions of colors plus alpha channel, every pixel will take up 32 bits.

It produces HUGE files, but it's pretty much guaranteed to work with any video editing program.

Uncompressed didnt work T__t. i dont think that its to do with the codec at this stage. Btw, Im rendering with the Field Order at 'Lower Field First' or something like that.

I have changed the properties of my AMV. I have changed the Pixel thing to 1.0000 and the other thing to None Progressive scan or something, even though I dont know what it means. Now, im trying again to render with Laga

Does it keep failing in the same spot?

You might want to try exporting in smaller segments that are less likely to cause the export to fail, and then joining them back up later.

Wouldnt I then lose quality? No it doesnt fail at the same spot. I just done it now, and failed again.

Can you please tell me the settings of your AMV when you go File > Properties. I only need the video section.

my template is: Custom (720x486, 29.970 fps)

Width: 720

Height: 480

Field Order: None (Porgressive Scan) (Changed from Lower Field First)

Pixel Ratio : 1.0000 Square (changed from 0.9091 (NTSC DV) )

Frame Rate: 29.970 (NTSC)

Full res rendering quality: Good

Motion Blur Type: Gaussian

Deinterlace methods: Blend Fields

I really want my AMV to be released. But I just cant get past this stage. T__T

Someone please help.

ronyap .. Scintilla has the best solution I've seen so far ...

join them back-up later.
.. something you did while cutting and pasting has caused a conflict to occur.

by saving ten seconds at a time [ ok, sorta overkill at 10 seconds each.. ] you can narrow-down where the error is in your Editing. 8-)

Well, can you please tell me how to do this? I am new to this AMV editing software stuff.

Thanks

to make markers press the "M" key..

render it with loop regions, select a loop region in each marker section (and you should be able to choose render loop region only, in the render as window)

Thanks. And, when I join them back up, do I lose quality? How do I do it?

you can either do it in virtualdub mod or you can do it in vegas again... there might be some quality loss..

if youre going to do it in vdub mod then be sure to export your audio as a .wav so you can import it into the program...

Hi, I just did the marker thing with the first section. It is uncompressed. I tried to play it in WMP 11, and it worked. However, timing was wrong but good quality. I imported it into VD, and converted to Divx, now the timing is correct, but very pixelated. Im starting to hate life.
