Multi-Band Compressor
Thanks to everyone for all the suggestions. Juan_rios: I'm DLing that Reaper package as I write. I used Their DAW for a while and liked it quite a bit. Looking forward to trying their plugs. Do you really use the Vegas model? I've never been comfortable with it. Compression is such a simple idea, but in that GUI, I never know what I'm doing. I'll try the iZotope and Ultrafunk models as well. appreciate the help. BTW, having been away for a bit, I just saw that Magix has split Vegas off in some way. Are they still developing it in a healthy way? Being a Vegas fan has always been a wild ride, right from the start. Best wishes to one and all!

Pitch Shift won't load
Thanks rrad, but I still need all those other plugs. And I'd sure like to know where they went and why.

Thank you rrad. Unfortunately that doesn't help. I see the plugs I want, but get this when I click on them.

Thanks for the help, guys. Like Set said, some folks of the Vegas Editors hub on f*c*book got me the answer. Great community here, as ever.

This is disgusting and hope one day we'll stop seeing these videos.
They will never be controlled; they are Schmoos. Appreciate the Al Capp reference. A victim of Cancel Culture before it was even named. How I miss Daisy Mae Scragg!

Can someone please tell me how to respond to someone using that "@blabla" thing that y'all do?

I tried the .9091 PAR and it appeared somewhat smaller. The 1.0000 smaller yet (about an inch of black on all sides) but much better looking! Thank you , Gentlemen, for your help, especially at this late time. But I need to leave for the night. I think I'm on the right track. Best wishes.

Musicvid: Aha! That explains why I was seeing that framesize in the suggested templates. But where did the figure 1.212 come from? And what is a ""storage dimension"? And what PAR should I use?

Bingo! That fixed the frame problem. Thank you. The image is still visibly less crisp. Is there anything else I can do to help that, or is that just what you get with the compression? But 640 x 480 will be a yet smaller frame, yes?

Also, I would like to ask for recommendations on what codec to use. I've tried the MAGIX AVC/AAC MP4 codec, and set the Custom Frame Size to 720x480.

Dot: That's sure what I thought, but I'm playing them back in VP17, with the Preview window set to 720x480, and the avi and mp4 files in the same positions on track 1 and 2, respectively, and using the mute button to turn track 1 on and off. Also, the info bar at the bottom of the Project media window says both are 720x480. Yet the mp4 is still smaller, with ~3/8" black bars all around it.

Digitaze 8mm/Hi8 video to vegas
Thank you all for the tips. I was considering using an old Canon XL1 DV camcorrder or Sony VX1000 to do exactly that, but I was concerned that it would only give me DV-quality video. On reflection, DV is probably better than the original Hi8, anyway. I might be being too picky. About the 1394 connection: I just recently bought a cheap Firewire card from Amazon and put it in a new Dell machine. It works fine bringing DV footage into Vegas. So I'll look into the pass-through capabilities of my DV cams. What a bitter irony it is to have to spend so much time preserving my personal memories from the advance of technology.

VEGAS Pro 17 Update 1 (build 321) - General Discussion
I don't' know if this will be of any help to any body, but just in case: I just installed VP17 buld 321 in a new Dell SPX 8930 i7 9700, with a Geforce RTX 2060. Frustratingly, Vegas was still crashing after a few minutes of work, just as VP16 and VP15 had done.But I'd ordered the machine with just 8GB RAM, thinking I could get RAM cheaper than Dell wanted (I was right, and 32 more GB are on their way) and I thought RAM was the problem. But I read somewhere that if you're not gaming, but cutting video, Nvidia GPU drivers should be "Studio" drivers and not "Game" drivers. I went to Nvidia.com and while I was ordering, using their text boxes to specifying my card, including choice of Studio or Game,I also saw a choice between "Standard" and "DCU." (or some such abbreviation) Their help feature told me to use Device Manager to see which of those my GPU was. I did all that, found I was a "Standard," and DL'ed and installed the right driver. By surprise, Vegas has stopped crashing at all, even without the added RAM. I'm taking it slowly--no stress tests yet. Just enjoying not having to save with every edit and eventually losing something anyway. But I'd recommend this process in any case..

Anomalies using VEGAS Storyboard
Update: Good news: My first tries were in VP16, but I just tried again in VP17 and adding different events from the same clip, via the Trimmer, does cause a new event to appear in the Storyboard. Not So Good news: In the storyboard, you can't rename the various events with different names. If you change any one, it changes the entire clip name. But on the timeline, you can rename individual "events" you pull via the Trimmer, but the new names are not reflected in the Storyboard. Storyboard's a good idea, but it's clearly not implemented completely. It feels like a Beta feature

Anomalies using VEGAS Storyboard
@zdogg: I did give them different names, although just by dint of adding a "1" and a "2" respectively. Would that be better than making subclips in the Trimmer? Seems like it would take longer and possibly limit future trimming, unless I HOS-rendered the whole clip. I'm Curious.
