Well, I've encountered a few issues with vegas. This is the first time I've used vegas, especially to make an amv. So if you can please assist me with some of these questions:
1. My preview quality is Preview(auto). my clips are 720x480. However, on many of the clips there is a small tiny little bar gaps on the left and right side of the clip when you look at it in the preview screen. The only way to get rid of it on the preview screen is to Pan/Crop and pull it closer. I mean...does this small thin black bar/line/gap on both sides okay? Its like the clip does not completely fill out the preview screen. My Project Properties btw is:
Field Order: None (Progressive Scan)
Frame Rate: 29.970 (NTSC)
Pixel Aspect: 0.9091 (NTSC DV)
Deinterlace Method: None
Rendering quality is at Best
I use the vdub lagarith deinterlace method to get my clips...
2. I think whats even harder than making an amv is making an amv that I must fix every once in awhile. My problem is that sometimes while moving my clips around or something (as I'm not sure what really causes it) sometimes my clips would stop working. Just one or two clips here and there. I mean if you play them normally, they will continue to work, but when I prerender to watch it more smoothly, some clips will show blank when I watch the prerender on the preview screen. Copy and pasting the clip over again, putting it on a different layer, changing the fx and stuff on it does not work. It seems completely useless until I do it all over again, take the original clip and editing it all over again. THEN it will work...I'm okay working hard on my amv, but I really really hate having to go back and repair it, can someone please tell me whats wrong because I wouldn't...couldn't imagine trying to fix a more complicated amv with clips that have a lot of fx in them...its not always ez to duplicate a clip and put it back in..in replace of one that broke down. I'm using lagarith clips btw.
3. How come when I take a snapshot (btw is bitmap better or png?) its smaller then my other clips but shows like it is the same size in my preview screen. Is there a way to change the settings of the picture to 720x480? I found a way by going to properties of the clip and changing it...but is this okay?
4. I just encountered this problem recently. I finally put my clip on Best(auto) preview mode and one clip does not show up right. Whats with this?
5. I'm trying to imatate a wave/electricity form...anyone knows how to?
6. How do you cut the shape of a person...fill it in with a color...and make the background transparent. I think the only thing I dunno is filling it out with color...like the inside of the person. I just want a cookie cut out of the person...i just dont want the cut out of the person only.
These are just a few questions I have...I guess the rest I'll fiddle around with. But please help....on all the questions please. Thanks.
