Loved Welcome to the new Movie Studio Zen Support Forum

Got it!
The figure that confused was as follows:

"Streams
Video: 00:00:12.513, 59.940 fps progressive, 1920x1080x12, AVC"
The 12!
12 Bit colour - My eyes can't keep up.
Thank you and many regards,

Hello Derek and fellow editors!

Glad to see your Forum up and running. Took a bit for me to finally "look around" at your latest project, which along with all your fantastic videos...KEEP IT UP! Guess I need something to do now that my 24 years in the Service have passed (Retired since 2001), and I have always found an answer via your videos for any problems I have while editing.

Using Sony Vegas Movie Studio Suite 13 on two computers, Vegas Pro 12 on another, and just loaded Studio Suite 12 on a laptop for our upcoming NASCAR race in the Poconos here in PA (two Brothers and my nephews locally, plus, Uncle and Cousin from Michigan with their friends.) Plan to take a lot of video and pictures as we will be celebrating our Cousin's 50th (he's such a "youngin'"!) So, will be loading and testing the laptop with the videos/pictures into Movie 12.

Thanks for all the superbly done instructional video thus far, and keep 'em coming!

Welcome to the Forum Mike.
Thank you for your message

Derek.

Well this is all new to me.
I'm a guy so it is difficult to ask for help so this is the first forum I have ever tried. Please be gentle with me.
This looks like a great website with tons of great material.
I think I shall like it here.

Best regards to all,
Keith

Do we use our real names here? I have.

Hi Keith

Yes you can use your real name - please do !

Derek (aka Doctor Zen)

Just saying hi!

Great tips for a newbie stills photographer moving into video!

Working on a project involving army veterans visiting a First World war battlefield sites in France; all the raw footage and separate sound recordings have been uploaded; and about to start the editing phase over the next month!

(Any tips for syncing up external sound recording to the video in Vegas Pro would be welcome

Hi Graham and welcome to the Forum.

I actually have a tutorial I am working on right now about Syncing Audio.
I will share everything I know in the new article this week.

My direct descendant William Moran died in Villers‑Bretonneux, France during the First World War.

As you probably know, a very large number of Australians fought and died in WWI.

Greetings Derek and all. This is my first day on the forum - but have been benefiting from the tutorials for some years.

As you may guess from the name and avatar, I am a professional photographer (now semi-retired). Over the years the work would sometimes drift over to moving pictures, starting out with 16mm monochrome work for local TV stations. Later on came Beta SP and a variety of digital formats.

I'm so glad I chose Vegas for my editing program - now on to Pro 13. The expert help that Derek gives tirelessly has helped me so much. He really knows his stuff.

Welcome officially to the forum 48Snapper.

If you are old school like myself, I guess you have experienced the joy of spending many hours in the Dark Room getting high on chemicals.
I really miss the traditional way of developing and printing photographs. I use to take a lots of Black and White photos and spend entire weekends locked inside the converted bathroom/dark room.
I think the younger generations should all have a go in a real dark room, before getting near a computer.

Regards
Derek

You are right Derek, starting with the school camera club, many years were spent in Dark Rooms. Everything from B&W developing and printing, colour printing (C-Types), to E6 transparencies. With chemical stained finger nails, people thought you were a smoker! Yes, some real Dark Room work would teach a lot, like how burning in and dodging used to be done.

My first proper video editing was on a three machine Lo Band U-Matic set up. Of course quality was lost all the time as even a simple edit involved going down a generation. For more fancy stuff, like mixes and titles, the quality reduced further still. Rather different to how we do it today. Cue Monty Python's 'Four Yorkshire-men' sketch.
