Amateur running 8.0c. Have a vacation project with 200-300 JEPGS and numerous vids from my Pany ZS3. A similar prior effort last year had the dreaded red frames which I didn't get in V7.
Anyhow, I've read the pic re-sizing suggestions but also noticed talk of using a series of smaller videos vs a single massive one for the render.
Here's what I'm thinking for my new project---suggestions appreciated so I minimize wasted time like before.
* separate the prez into 3-5 natural segments ala Opening, Content #1, Content #2 etc, Close.
* use a program like VASST, Pro Show, or Muvee to automate the various effects and transitions for the pics. May not need to resize.
* as part of this, process the videos in Vegas for edit capability and sound levels (sometimes have to pump up the vids) and then insert the rendered video file into the program's pic timeline for each segment.
* render the segments in whatever pic program I use
* bring them back into Vegas and add music since these other programs aren't as good at sound level mgmt like lowering the music for video soundtrack, fade in/out etc etc.
Thus, Vegas would basically be rendering a series of videos vs a mixture of pics & vids. Someone suggested that vids are easier.
I know a bit kludgy, but the time I wasted on the prior failed project was massive and frustrating. So, would this maximize my chances of a successful render for a project that runs 25-40 minutes?
Appreciate the help, family is looking forward to this.
