I just received some screen capture footage from a client who captured the "entire screen" which included dual monitors. He did this because one monitor is reactionary to the other and their are 6 video windows(monitor 2) that are being controlled by monitor 1 (ie cause and effect) The total resolution size on the screen capturing was 3894 x 1200. The software used was Camtasia Studio and it uses its own codec to compress the screen capture to an AVI. Long story short, after downloading the proprietory codec from TechSmith(camtasia) I was able to import this without any issues into Vegas 5 and crop the video to look very good, one screen at a time!! :) I was also able to edit etc however, as I go to render this baby which is 15 minutes long. I leave it on all night (5hrs) and come back and it is at 5% with 46 hours left. Does Vegas have an issue with this Codec? I have tried it several times. Is there a software that will let me compress the .avi or crop it, outside of Vegas? I tried premiere on a employees computer and it renders it in about 2 hours but the quality is not acceptable and their is no way to crop like there is in Vegas. I don't want to have to fly out onsite to change the resolution and shoot again as the scenario will never be the same.
