Logical Setup
Ralph, The shooters just hit "record" during the ceremony so i can grab the "best" audio from one of the 4 cameras. I am trying to be a little more efficient with my time! What i mean is, when i get about 2 hours into editing i somtimes have a cluster of cuts from different tapes. I somewhat get to focused with the actual editing (the events i am working with) that i loose track of the cluster i now haven in front of me.

Logical Setup
I have 4 angles of the ceremony!! The rest of the wedding is isolated cameras here and there. No real order to it. To me that would seem easier than the 4 angles; picking the best shot and keeping the audio in order!

Multi Cam Editing
I am working on a small project (Wedding) that had 4 cameras. The clip of the bridal party entry and the bride entry was shot using 2 cameras. There are 2 separate songs played. I got both shots in Multi Cam Editing in Vegas. I'm able to press play and see both videos from each camera in my preview screen with the appropriate names for the 2 shots. So all is well up to this point. My question is: How do i edit between the 2 cameras? Am i able to cut scenes out from one camera? When i play the video, cam1 is not starting were cam 2 is. For example: the 1st couple entering from the bridal party is 20 secons off from that same couple entering on cam2. I have tried cutting out the first 20 seconds of cam1 but is seems to mess the timing up. What suggestions would y'all have. Thanks to you all.

Previewing Tracks seperate monitors
Once again guys soory to repeat the question 2 times. I am going to approach this portion of the video using the methods that have been explained to me by you all. I have not done the above methods before, so what you all have explained to me is very helpful in my approach. Thank you again for all your help AND your patience.

Previewing Tracks seperate monitors
When you hit F11, the video is then previewed on the larger screen, ok i got that! Can you watch one track on the larger screen? For example: Camera1 was fixed on the bride and Camera2 was fixed on the groom thus running both tracks at the same time? Running it way would seem pretty efficient especially with 2 fixed cameras. Running 2 separate clips at the same time would allow for some pretty cool transitions not to mention previewing 2 clips at the same time. Sorry if my question is repeated in this reply but you have stated in your reply that F11 would allow you to preview "everything else on the other monitor." Thanks again!!!!

Previewing Tracks seperate monitors
I had 3 cameras at my wedding so what would be the most efficient way to get all 3 angles playing and choose the best one for that moment? I have been capturing the video from one camera, put it in Vegas, then begin to edit but to see all seperate cameras would seem to be more efficient. Any tips or ideas how to accomplish this concept?

It is a P4 3GHz with Hyperthreading, is that becoming out dated for Vegas 8?? I have another PC that is an AMD 64 Live! Not sure if that would be much better.

farss, I did correct my account specs. I thought i had that activated all this time. THanks!!! The video was captured through Vegas video capture via the USB / Firewire on the Sony camera. I did not capture it through the card. I got the card for an 8mm analog camera i have. The camera records AVCHD i believe. My brother let me use the camera a few times, i still need to purchase one so i have not been able to mess around with it as i would like, until i purchase one. The video rapidly decreases. To answer your question, the video seems to start out slow (choppy) so does the sound.

I did as you said but i also increased the RAM to the MAX that it shows me (1024) and it works fine. So this suggests i need more RAM??? What is the normal RAM size??? SHould i keep this setting at 1024mb and just increase my RAM???? THanks alot for the info.

So if i am thinking of this correctly; DVDA does not render anything from V8?!

Chop in Video
srode, Thanks for the tip. I did burn to a DVD (next time i won't waste the DVD) and the videos that chpped did not chop in the finished product. Is there something i need to do to my PC to correct this OR is it just the nature of it?

I am pretty much using whatever was default when i installed V8. I did not change anything seeing i need to learn more of what these changes do. Will the defaults for rendering carry me for a while until i get through the learining curve???

Render: Vegas / DVD Architect
I know the lesson in a "compliant" video may be hours long but could you point me in a direction? If i could start there alot of it may fall in place. In the menu i created in DVDA had alot of buttons so i see where there were messages before the render stating this, so i am aware of some of my mistakes but my question is: Did i render incorrectly in Vegas and wouldn't Vegas give me some type of error or warning? Thanks a mill!!

Chop in Video
I have a question: I downloaded the VLC program and it is worse than VLC. It plays the MPEG1 file fine BUT the HD videos don't show up and the audio is very intermittent. I wonder what i am doing wrong. I may just burn the 4 clips to DVD and see if the results are the same. I will post my results but if there are still suggestions, please feel free. When i previewed these clips in V8 i would get the chop in the video and sound, i am not sure why it does this.

I was just about to burn the clips to a DVD and see if i get the same results as playing them in Windows Media Player. Thanks, you just saved me a DVD. I will download this program and see if it works. Thanks again.
