Scene Selection and Play All

lazrkermy wrote on 11/18/2003, 10:42 AM

I have several short home videos named with the date they were recorded which i have bounced on to Vegas and then rendered and bounced over to DVDA I have made a scene selection with all of them and it works perfectly and looks good. I was wondering if there is a way to make a play all button with these scenes and be able to use chapter select to go to the next one.

I know I could use music compliation with the videos to make a play all, but that more then doubles the amount of space I use on the dvd, which i would like to try to avoid.

I also know I could take all the clips in Vegas and rendered them as one big movie and then chop them up in DVDA, but that would be alot of manual labor, which may be what i have to do, just wondering if there was an easy way.

Thanks for you help

I came up with a way to get around the lack of end actions. It works perfectly, but it is not for the faint of heart. Here is the post:

Although the "Fix" is definately not for the faint of heart....your own suggestion of "...also know I could take all the clips in Vegas and rendered them as one big movie and then chop them up in DVDA.." isn't really a lot of manual labor.

As long as you have one long file, "chopping" it up in DVDA only really takes a total of 6 operations to have it done (per chop)

1. Copy the "main" file
2. Change the name
3. Double click to open DVDA Timeline
4. Change in point
5. Change out point
6. Click OK

Done.

It is really very straight forward. It even becomes a heck of a lot easier if you set point in Vegas where each vid starts....all you would then have to do is use that as the start point of the "chop" and you are in like Flint.
