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

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.

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.
