Pixelcast?

Steve Grisetti wrote on 10/30/2012, 10:56 AM

On the product page for Vegas Movie Studio HD 12, Sony claims you can post your videos directly to Pixelcast.com without leaving the program.

I've dug all over the program and can't find the option to do this or even a Help topic on it.

Anybody have any suggestions where I should be looking?

I don't have 12 but if it's like 11's upload to YouTube and share it online options, it will be in Make Movie.

That's what I thought too -- but that would be too easy. It's not there.

I've tried everything - short of paying for a Pixelcast account. WIth the free version, there's no way you can upload to Pixelcast from any version of Movie Studio that I can see. Definitely not as Pixelcast describes on their website:

https://www.pixelcast.com/help/doc/details/124"Adding Video from Vegas Movie Studio[/link]

You can use the "

All my versions just go directly to an 'ACIDplanet.com' upload dialogue when I select 'Share online...'.

I also downloaded Pixelcast's desktop application which opens Pixelcast outside of a browser, thinking there might have been something linking that to Movie Studio - nope.

So, I'm not even going to begin thinking of a paid account with Pixelcast if this is a sample of how organized they are.

Thanks for confirming what I'm seeing, Doc!

YVW, it's the least I could do. That's my mantra - I'll always do, the least I can do.

I was just thinking though. It would be wonderful if a community of amateur and professional video editing enthusiasts could come together and create a service for uploading, sharing and exhibiting their works. A community with the audio/visual knowledge, computer knowledge and desire for exchanging tips and advice. A community not so interested in any profit motive or gimmicks.

I'm just unsure where to find such a rag-tag collection of people.

Are you setting me up for a plug, Doc? That's the whole purpose of:
http://Muvipix.com

Joining the community is free and so are a large number of the tutorials, tips, motion backgrounds and royalty-free music clips. (There's also an inexpensive subscriptiion service, the profits of which are used to keep the site up and running.)

There is also a growing library of tutorials for Vegas Movie Studio as well as DVD Architect Studio there -- including free Basic Training tutorials for each.

A working Pixelcast login option is now to be found under Make Movie and Share Online. Odd, because I didn't find it the last time I looked either and I haven't updated to builds 575/576 yet.

For me, with Movie Studio 12 Version 12 (Build 576) 64-bit edition, clicking 'Make Movie' > 'Share it online' results in an error message window/pane (pain) that reads:

"An error occurred while saving one or more files. A component failed to initialize."

With two clickable buttons:

OK and DETAILS

The 'details' button opens a pane that reads:

"Publish component failed to initialize."

Good luck with it guys, I can't be bothered with that kind of nonsense.

I uninstalled all (I hope) versions of MS12 Platinum from my computer and cleaned up the registries a little and reinstalled MS12 Platinum, today.

I clicked MAKE MOVIE > SHARE IT ONLINE, and now, there's no longer an error message and I have a selection of using the ACIDplanet service or PIXELCAST. Selecting either one opens a login dialogue.

What changed, I don't know. But, it seems to be up and running but I can't see how that's connected to my reinstalling Movie Studio. It's the same application and the same build number, 576.

Any who, how this helps.
