Corporatus's Sony Vegas Tutorials

Hey guys!

I've finally got the courage and time to start doing tutorials for Sony Vegas as I can't work on other projects for a while. This will be the "go-to" topic for the tutorials as in:

• Leave your requests here
  
• Leave your feedback here
  
• Leave your video responses here (the ones you work on your own based on my tutorials).
  
• Leave your questions and problems here.

FFFFFFFF.
Been waiting for this for a long,long time.
Came buckets.
Thanks for the vid corp <3

You sounded...slightly annoyed in the vid.

Doing tutorials is new to me and I actually realised I was a bit anemic and I'll try to sound more enthusiastic in the tutorials i'm gonna do later.

Yes,Just don't sound TOO over excited o_o

Nah just joking.The vid was great.It was an educational,tutorial,informative video,not a video made for amusement.And tutorials aren't that easy to make.
:)

I learnt something from a video,that was made for learning a specifical thing,i'm happy.I suppose others would agree on that.

well, yes what you need is abit more enthusiasm, and maybe focus on something vegas allready has, like the colour curves or the normal colour correction, and colour correction secondary. Soft contrast is also an effect u could talk abit about.

The tutorial is cool

Gary Hartmann already made a tutorial about that particular effect so I don't feel like copying someone just for the sake of doing a tutorial about it. I'll start off with the things I know the best and that are really familiar to me.

Also, I know that I sound a bit unenthusiastic but talking to yourself for 15 minutes without planning is really odd. I'll just have to stack up on energy drinks for the next tutorial so I'll be hyperactive, or not.

aah, fair enough: p

nice tutorial.

i just have one question.

do you know why ony youtube we get blurred/pixel'd quality in the darker section/area/places of the video? on wcm we dont.

just watch your lovely video "A Christmas Special" on youtube and "LOLBURST 2.5 (Pre 4.0.1)" on wcm. its a huge difference, and i cant explain why.

however, watching videos on 720p resolves the problem a bit, but it takes ages to load in the evening, which sucks.

any help ?

might be youtube adding contrast

I used to get that, try adding more Bitrate before rendering or Disabling Resample (right click each video in your timeline on Sony Vegas, go to Properties and Disable Resample).

-request-
Shout outs DO SHOUT OUTS!!

-cough me first cough-

one thing you could consider when it comes to colour correction is a tutorial of how to make a clip go from day to night(or the opposite ofc). simply by changing the colour blending and using basic sky replacement.


as an example.
and yes, in my defense some of the effects are quite crappy as i wasent using AE in this clip, neither did i spend more then 15min making it, so yeah work with me on this one.

i disabling resample everytime....and what do you mean "adding more bitrate BEFORE rendering?

how i said, i normaly render with 8-10mbits bitrate but it doesnt help, and 20 mbits is too much IMO

Well, what resolution do you play in and what frame size do you render at?

Edit: Sony AVC has a tendency to produce such artifacting in dark areas in videos (if thats what you're rendering at).

i play in 1440x900 and render in 1280x720, i strech it out, but thats not the reason for the quality loss, becaus i get the same result with my CS:S videos and they are recorded @ 1280x720...

CS:S is an entirely different game, of course you would get different results.

Anyway, you're downscaling, this can cause squishiness (aka pixellation).

I play at 1680x1050 and I used to downscale to 1280x720 but I got poor quality results.

I now upscale to 1920x1080 and the only different I get is a minor blur on my videos.

You should try upscaling..

That didnt work.

Its not caused by downscaling...i record my CS:S videos @ 1280x720 and im not downscaling. And it might be a different game, but its the same. It shows me it has to do with the render settings becaus watching my wow/css stuff uncompressed gives no pixellation at all. Even if i compress them it doesn't, neither. But when uploading to youtube it has pixellation again >.<

the one thing i would like to ask is this:

how to effectivley edit/animate type in Sony Vegas? what are the limitations?
i am playing around myself but seem to be having trouble with getting my type to look bad ass.

(i hate after effects with a passion but i know its good for this type of stuff)

Hey Toastwave! Could you specify your question a bit.. Didn't understand what you meant! :)
