Stretch 4:3 to 16:9 Should be easy?
Thanks Friar for keeping things straight around here with an answer that is correct. I should know better than to offer advice when in a drug induced state from a punctured ear drum. (Yes they are very painful!) Erik

If you can bring the video into Vegas you can set up your project properties to the 16x9 settings of your choice. Then go to the "pan/crop" of the source clip and select "match project aspect" or something like that. Erik

ITU-R BS.1770-1 Loudness, Free VST Plugin
Thanks Nick for letting me know you got exactly the same results as Nugen VisLM demo. The history option so far doesn't seem to be something that I have to have so I'm going to stick with the freeware for now. Erik

What are your Shuttle Settings
Interesting to see how others use the shuttle and I see already that we use them very differently. For example I use buttons 1-9 for different layout options on my dual screen monitor setup. 12-properties 13- convert stereo track to channel 3 mono 14- external monitor 15-toggle ignore event grouping 16- convert stereo track to channel 1 mono 17- convert stereo track to channel 2 mono I use the keyboard for many, many commands which is why I generally try to use the Shuttle Pro for things that take more time using the keyboard and mouse. Things like shift-b, split, etc. are just as fast for me to use the keyboard. Erik

Boycott Vegas 12 unless Vegas 11 gets stable!
Man, it is getting pretty late here and this feels like a dream. First the ForumAdmin starts to speak up and now this? What gives I wonder? Anyone heard anything about why the sudden change of heart? Erik

Jay, I'm UTC/GMT +2 hours but what's important to know is that I'm calling during business hours of Madison which is CST. I do the math and call at the right times. Chienworks, thanks for the reminder tip on purchasing older versions of Vegas on ebay and B&H. I need to remember that. Erik

Well, I tried two more times today to get a phone call into SCS customer service and had the same results as yesterday. "Call volume" heavy and call back later. No way to leave a message. 5 minutes later the call is disconnected. So, it looks like SCS doesn't have the capacity to take any meaningful number of calls at customer service. Erik

Erni, I can confirm that for me also Vegas 11 crashes instantly every time I try to apply the plugin. Is your 32bit version 10e? Erik

WE the people, in search of a more perfect V10...
Just to update on the idea of calling SCS about the need for a V10 update. I called this morning around 9:30am CST and got a message about "due to heavy call volume we suggest you try your call later or go to the web site". I decided to try and wait it out to see if I could get a warm body. At the 5 minute mark my call was automatically disconnected. I then called back about 4 hours later but got the exact same message as before. There is not an option to leave a message unfortunately. Again, at precisely the 5 minute mark the call is automatically disconnected. It's around 10pm NOW my time so I probably won't try anymore today but will try again tomorrow. I'll let you know... Erik

OT: Anyone else tried Synergy?
Nice Piotr! I'm diggin Synergy too. The only hiccup for me has been the "autostart" service function doesn't seem to work for me on the server side. Not a huge deal since the client does autostart. If you reboot both of your computers does Synergy auto-connect between them? Erik

Yes, my edit workstation is a dual monitor setup. http://www.flickr.com/photos/israelitetv/6021500219/in/photostream The two monitors on the right are actually a dual monitor setup for my editing workstation. The third monitor on the far left is on a completely separate computer. (The other keyboard that can be seen on the far left actually is a hardware KVM switch for 3 older editing computer workstations still running on W2000 and NT. Erik

Ahh, Grazie good point you made. Synergy is actually not KVM but only KM. It is a setup for multiple monitors. Each computer will need a monitor connected to it but after that you are good to go. I have a three monitor setup and use only one keyboard and mouse. Erik

JHendrix, thanks for the feedback and I will put you on the list. Your eight word post literally speaks volumes about those of us who really need an update to V10. "ANOTHER EVENING WASTED." SCS-ForumAdmin please see the type of pain we are talking about in this post from today. http://www.sonycreativesoftware.com/forums/ShowMessage.asp?MessageID=798684&Replies=11 For any MAJOR BUG from any release, we expect an update to make whole our purchase from SCS.

John, I understand and you are certainly not alone in the camp of those who say "this just doesn't happen" or "they won't do it". However, it doesn't persuade me at all to give up and to not pursue the release of 10f. The one thing that would help heal the wound is if we could get a strong consensus of users talking about the reliability of V11. If we start hearing about V11 being rock steady and a real workhorse then I will be much more willing to forgive and forget. Don't worry, I know that you and some others have said that V11 is working them. Erik Erik

Footage replacement bug?
"It's just a bug like any other and I'm sure everybody could have found a workaround" No it isn't. Have you had it happen to you? Sounds like you don't know too much about it. It is a devastating bug where clips that have been edited on the timeline are replaced by other media. The only workaround is to not only constantly save the project but to constantly save it under different names. "It's called Vegas Pro and if you can't spend $150 on an upgrade..." You are actually making my point for me here. It is my belief that the company crosses a red line if they believe it is acceptable to pay for an upgrade to fix a MAJOR BUG. It is reasonable to assume that any purchaser of any software will receive a FREE patch for any MAJOR BUG. "...what kind of Pros are we talking about here." As can be seen from the list from the thread http://www.sonycreativesoftware.com/forums/ShowMessage.asp?MessageID=793540&Replies=129 we have a large group of very experienced production personnel. I have been in this business professionally since 1980 and make a very, very good income. This isn't about $150 at all. I already own V11 and have installed it on a dedicated system for V11 however I can't edit my projects in V11 because of frequent crashing. "Most other companies have software with just as many or more bugs which are just as bad... I would be interested in hearing about any other software bug you know of which was "just as bad" that was never patched and could only be resolved through upgrading the software. A bug that causes potentially hours of lost work and comes without warning. I'm not saying this hasn't happened... I would just like to hear about it if you know of any specifics. "Requesting another Vegas 10 update is ridiculous." Not ridiculous at all... it would be the quite honorable thing for SCS to do in fixing this MAJOR BUG to show good faith to those who've purchased V10. It would go along way for me personally in trying to keep hope alive that Vegas has a future with V11 and beyond. It just isn't going to happen and it shouldn't unless it's something that can be done in under an hour." I don't know how long it will take them to make 10f but I think the "under and hour" limit is extreme. You wouldn't invest 1 or 2 days of work to fix a MAJOR BUG in your previous version? Seems like a great PR move at the very least at a relatively low cost to the company. There have been close to 50 Vegas users on this forum alone (I haven't counted those who posted on the COW and other sites) who have taken the time to post about this bug specifically. You would be hard pressed to find another single bug that got posts from 50 different users. This supports my claim that this is not "just another bug". This time is different. Erik

Glad to help. Anyone want to give some feedback on their impressions of the plugin? An audio buddy of mine is not a big fan of any real time approach to a reading of the loudness. Suggesting software that takes and audio file, bakes it and spits out a report reading instead. This sounds good to me also but it appears to be expensive also. musicvid do you know of anyone requiring the ATSC A85 standard that you deliver your content to? I don't know the authors at Audiocation BTW. Erik

Muttley, please stop the personal attacks. You claim the high road and take the low road every time. I'm not interested in being "cool". Just trying to make others aware and in both cases others have agreed to join the list. Only in your mind is someone suffering from the "Vegas Replaced the Footage" bug "loosely related" to those of us who want a patch for V10 to fix that very same bug. Erik
