Vegas 6.0 Video

Cecil wrote on 4/4/2007, 3:07 PM
My Vegas 6.0d Video editing worked in January 2007. I didn"t use
it again until now in April, 2007. I used a Sony Digital-8 Video
Camera to capture the video to the Vegas program. The video
transferred to the video track, but there was no audio on the audio
track.

As was suggested in another vegas support site, I opened it in the
trimmer, but there was no audio their either.

I have another Sony D-8 camera that I tried both ways, but without
getting any audio tracks with that also.

What could be the solution to my problems?

Thanks, for any assistance you can give. Cecil

Check your camera to see what audio sample rate it is using. If it is using 32, then that is probably the problem.

Maybe a bad firewire connection or firewire cable? I had this happen to the original firewire connection on my computer (but in that case it wouldnt work at all) and had to buy a new firewire card. You have 2 Sony D8 cameras. Try connecting the camera playing the tape to your 2nd camera via the analog connection (the red-white-yellow RCA cord) and see if you can get audio to play on your 2nd camera acting as a monitor. (Well, you could do this using an ordinary TV set too.) Then maybe reverse the cameras. If both cameras can send audio to the other then it would suggest a bad firewire connection on your computer. If you can get one camera to send audio to the other camera, have camera 2 convert that signal to digital and send it via firewire to your computer. If you still can't capture sound, that would again suggest a bad firewire connection on your computer. And of course you should also try a different firewire cable. And it's never a bad idea to re-install the Vegas software. I take it your audio track shows a "flatline". If the horizontal audio bar in the audio track is accidentally set to zero it will also show a flatline.

The video and audio are both coming into the computer. The video
plays on the capture screen and the audio plays on the computer
speakers.

When you move the clip after capturing, to either the Vegas track or to the Trimmer track, there is no audio track. Vegas is not capturing
the audio for some reason.

Thanks for any ideas to overcome this problem. Cecil
