4 Quick Questions.

I am constantly going between capturing from DV tape and using the vegas feature that displays your work real time out on firwire on my Panasonic DVG-2000 machine. Sometimes the preview out firewire does not automatically switch back after capturing from DV tape. Are there any solutions for this?

Also does vegas have any plugins that allow you to draw diagrams for a video? (similar to Adobe's new titler)

Is there any other was to have a list of text items pop up one at a time, other than using keyframes? like a template?

Does Vegas support Inscriber TitleMotion. (*.icg files) Do they ever plan on supporting it?

Thank You

Fawley,

1- Please be more specific

2 - Not that I'm aware of.

3 - Please be more specific

4 - I don't know. Ask SoFo directly.

Might I suggest you title your next Post here with something a bit more focussed than just "Questions". - you may get a better response and hit rate. After all, that's what you and I ultimatley want - yeah?

You've got 4 - IMHO - excellent questions. Some of them I too would like to have some answers on. Soooo.... I would suggest in the future ask One question and POST the question on its own - yeah? - As I say, you might do better going about things in this way, rather than posting a coverrall post title as "Questions" - after all, that's mostly what this forum is about. Not being specific in the post title could really - IMHO - make those that COULD answer your Questions head for the hills - yeah? - If you need to ask more than ONE question in a post, try and design the POST's title in such a way that the reader can get a "grip" on where you are going with your enquiry . . .help me and I will "attempt" to help you . . simple as that . . .

Best regards,

Grazie

I have seen this happen. What I do when this happens is simply turn OFF the external preview and then turn it back ON - this reactivates it.

Not exactly sure what you mean by "diagrams".

The two methods I can think of would be keyframes or multiple text boxes on multiple tracks. Alternately you could create several "pictures" of the different titles and just place them on the timeline back to back.

Does Vegas support Inscriber TitleMotion. (*.icg files) Do they ever plan on supporting it?

Don't know about "ever" but the current answer is NO. Can you render from TitleMotion to an AVI or PNG? These could then be placed into Vegas.

I think by "diagrams", what is meant is the sort of thing you see in football games when they show a still of the play and draw the X's, O's, and arrows on top of it. Satish said he might consider working on something like this, but no promises. Check to see if Boris FX has it; they're supposed to be Vegas compatible now.

Yes my next plugin will be able to rotoscope, so this can also be used for the scenario you mentioned.
