The Idiots Guide to Vegas

For help and discussion concerning the Sony Vegas software.

your best bet is to experiment and use the before and after line script to your advantage... however these questions should go in the avisynth forum and not be attached to this thread.


beforeafterline(1,"""filter01.filter02.filter03""")

remove filter01.filter02.filter03 and replace them with your filters. You can add as many as you want as long as you separate them with periods. (.) also be sure to do any cropping/resizing before this filter and don't render your video file with this filter still in it it will render the line in there so just remove it and replace it with your filters when you are done.

this is the sort of thing it gives you.

hey, i was trying to make an amv, using my .avi files. These don't work in vegas, so i convert them to DV-AVI video, 29 frames per second, 4:3 ratio, 720x480 pixels, and 30 mb/s. I opened this in sony vegas, and i find that the video is so laggy, and glitchy when i have 3 to 4 clips going at a fast rate after another (the beat's fast so i switch them fast) but i can only see a couple of them in the preview box. Can anyone help my problem?

Section VIII: READ

DO NOT USE XVID/DIVX FILES IN VEGAS VIDEO OR ANY VIDEO EDITING PROGRAM.

You will, in a 99.9% chance, HAVE A PLAYBACK ISSUE. So, instead, either re-encode the file in something over that xvid/divx or NOT USE THE FILE AT ALL.

:)

look at this for more detailed information

I dont know how to describe this effect,best I could think of is some sort of echo?here's the video I saw the effect.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZwxgUVDTSRI

1:50-1:52

I've always wondered how to do this effect.Is it just simply having two layers and messing around with panning or track motion?or is it something else?

Think I've had the same problem as you,get the other version from this link(in the quote) :)

Kariudo wrote:strange, directshowsource is an internal filter...so it should be there

try uninstalling just aivsynth, and then get version 2.5.6 from here (get the .exe, it's under 2.5.6a)

2.5.7 should work as well, but some members have had random green bar problems with 2.5.7 (to which the workaround was to get 2.5.6)


mines worked fine after that,previously it would load but get to the plugins part of the loading bar,stop and say error and close :\

Um when I render my video in vegas and play it back in VLC media player this happens...

Image

these are my rendering settings I think(first time rendering,and dont really know how this works so just copied the description box :\)

Audio: 48,000 Hz, 16 Bit, Stereo, PCM Uncompressed.
Video: 29.97 fps, 720x480, Lower field first.
Pixel Aspect Ratio: 0.909. OpenDML compatible.
NTSC DV video files compatible with Sony Video Capture.

I've cleaned the footage,cropped and resized it before using.The screenshot is whats happening when I preview it before cleaning again and then converting and compressing it..
