DVD Transfer & Authoring?

[bigwurock]

i am looking to clean up a camcorder audio...it is the only recording of the show...no audio tapers...but the camcorder is heavy on the bass...so i was wondering is it possible to edit the audio in sony vegas 6....???..i was wondering if anyone knew this & if yes can you steer me in the right direction as far as doing it...?..thanks!

i know that Final Cut has numerous audio tools that aren't too bad, in and of themselves...i'm assuming Vegas does too

it does support VST plugins...heres an article i ran across googling this...about halfway down, talks about setting up for VSTs...some are expensive, but there are numerous free ones around

what you'll probly be wanting to use is for this is just some EQ shaping...if you haven't seen this post re: frequency ranges/EQ, you should check it out

and remember, less is best, so keep a light touch when EQing

Vegas has a nice EQ built in, look for this panel. Light touch is right.

Here`s a couple of examples:
Lacuna Coil - Ozzfest

Lacuna Coil - Ozzfest: I'm very interested but the link doesn't work. What should be behind it?

I converted quite a few VHS tapes to dvd on a stand alone dvd burner. I need to do minor editing (commercial breaks etc.).
I tried Pinnacle Studio 9 but that can't seem to open any files sourced from an existing dvd or hard drive. Am I missing something or do I need a different program?

Any suggestions are welcome.

you can demux the .vob to mpg and ac3 or wav (whatever stnad alones do) then remux to mpg that will be recognized by Pinnacle using tmpgenc. However, when you reauthor you're gonna be rendering this info. twice. once on stand alone and twice on computer. You should capture the VHS to your computer, make the clips, then render once. You're gonna notice blocking in the final product if you don't.

i have a 2 cam show...one shot is 16x9 and the other video is full screen....what is the best way to edit this....i would like to stay 16x9....i have vegas 6...can i just render the whole 2 cam (after i synch up the audio) as a 16x9....will the be ok..??..shoot me some ideas....thanks all...

[saltman]

no this will not be ok. there are many ways to do this..... let me see if I can find a tutorial put together here by TG27.

[saltman]

The following is care of TG27


step one:
right click on fs stream and select video crop. select no for maintain aspec & stretch to fill frame. now drag your top and bottom to get the black bars at the top and bottom.



step two:
now just switch the stretch to fill frame back to yes and it'll stretch it back on top and bottom.



step 3:

that's it basically. your vid will appear stretched out & look like this.........


BUT when you render it in 16:9 the bars will come back on the top and bottom and it will be in true 16:9 on a ws tv and look normal with no stretching.
