Losing Faith In Vegas « Videomaker Community Forums

I recently finished a 15 minute video for my Boy Scout Troop. It looked great when it was just on my computer. However, when I rendered it and began making VHS copies, I realized it was screwed up somehow. You see, there is a part with slow motion in the beginning that I had originally done in Pinnacle Studio then rendered to .avi when I got Vegas. It skips to the end of the sequence, and during the duration of the slow-mo event it shows the first frame of the sequence. I completely re-edited the scene in Vegas and re-rendered. As I made my first copies with the T.V. off, I thought things were great. Then, while listening, I noticed random dropouts in the audio. These dropouts are also on the DV master. Any ideas?

Sorry for the length.

what kind of system are you using, if you're running something that's a little slower than that's probably your problem, i wouldn't use anything less than 2ghz and 512 or ram, Vegas is a professional program, nothing like pinnacle so you're going to need some power to use it. Might be the prob. Hope that helps. Dont' get discouraged, I've been in production for sometime not and Vegas is BY FAR the best professional editing software i've ever used. Power and ease of use is unmatched.

Sounds like a problem with your system. If there is too much going on, taking away precious CPU power, then vegas might skip a frame or two. Did you print to tape directly from the tieline or render out a seperate AVI? If you did the latter, check it and see if there is any audio drop outs? If you did Printed directly from the timeline then I would reccomend rendering one (or maybe several) avi files using the NTSC DV settings from vegas.

For optimum video work...
Use a seperate hard drive for storing video.
Defrag often.
Close out any uneccesary background programs.

If you have Winxp you can create a new user profile specifically for video editing. This would allow you to control what background programs are running.
