Using volume envelopes in Sony Vegas Movie Studio

[bennetthead86]

I keep watching your vids and go "ommmggg it's so easy now!". When I actually had no idea before. Thanks Bill!

[THEOWNERPWNER1]

Man, your videos are so helpful! Thank you very much.

[surfandyoga]

Hi Bill, your vids are a great help thanks, but I have a problem where I save my videos onto the hard drive (windows 7 and Sony vegas movie studio platinum 10). I can pull the video up from the HD but the next day (or week ) it says file not found.

[guerillabill]

@surfandyoga When you save projects in Sony Movie Studio, use 'save as', and put a check in the 'copy media with project' checkbox. This saves all the elements needed to edit the project.

To produce video from the project, choose 'render as', and choose where to save the rendered file. Once rendering is complete, the file is on your computer.

Sony Movie Studio does not delete or remove rendered files.

[surfandyoga]

@guerillabill Thanks Bill. Next time I'll check copy media files. I always do 'save as ' when working but some files go missing and one competed and rendered file went missing. When I was on Vista this didn't happen, but I changed to windows 7. Could this be a problem.

[guerillabill]

@surfandyoga It's not related to Windows 7, that's what I use.

This Video fixed my Problem! Thank you SO VERY MUCH for putting this info onto YouTube!!! You Rock!

[pcfix411]

Good video.

[BrooniE]

This really helped, thank you.

[SparklingCupcakez]

I have a problem. I open Sony Vegas, import a song {mp3} and, when I play it, there's no sound. I'm freaking out! Please, could you please help me?

[guerillabill]

@SparklingCupcakez If you have an older version of Movie Studio 8 or Movie Studio 9, you might try the solution in my YouTube video 'Fix mp4 / mov problems in Sony Vegas Movie Studio'

[mrcomotion]

You might want to tell your audience how to add enveolpe points...Double Click.

[MacbethHD]

Fantastic, thanks!

[fkkfreeze]

very helpful, thank you sooo much :)

[CarlosRamirezTX]

Thanks Bill. Been trying to find out how to "actually" create the envelopes. Everyone and the Help talk about using envelopes but I didn't see how about the two dots at begining and end of the envelopes. Everyone else skips over that part.

So, thank you!!!!!

[LittleMikeStarCraft]

Dude-- your video is baller. And helps me with my Youtube channel all the time.

[ahshang86]

very very nice ~thx a lot

[VengefulDemonhunter]

This is just excellent - thanks man!

[vilicles]

How can I attach the volume envelope to the clip so that when I move the clip, the volume envelope moves with it?

[vilicles]

Okay, I have a question: I'm working on a video, but I need to adjust the timeline and move EVERYTHING closer together after a certain point. The problem is, the volume envelopes don't move with the rest of the movie or clips. Is there a way to anchor the envelope to a particular clip so that I can move both together? I really don't want to have to redo my envelopes.

[guerillabill]

Have you tried using 'autoripple'?

To see how to use it , view my youTube video 'Auto Ripple in Sony Vegas & Movie Studio'

[vilicles]

Thank you so much! You just made my life 5,000% easier! :)

[oFleshWorko]

thank you, I'm new to vegas and this was helpful

[Tom13ombadil]

Thanks, I can always count on your videos!

[vysion901]

hey man i have a serious problem. i just got this program and everytime i import video and play it back, there is NO sound. music and audio track play fine. but the audio from my video clips is not there...nothing is muted either. help?

[guerillabill]

Very like the source video is mov or mpeg4, and the audio is in the AAC LC codec which Vegas does not like. AAC LR is the more supported version of the AAC audio codec and acceptable to Vegas.

Download the newest version of Movie Studio to resolve the problem.

Or open the video in QuickTime Pro, choose 'export', set the video to 'pass through' , and set the audio codec to AAC-LR 128kbps.

Then export to a new file.

This new file will open in Vegas, and will retain full audio and video quality.

[aliabukabbos]

Thanks very much !!

[mightymask]

I've been dying to know how to do this. Thanks!

[downeylova201]

[kalixkillen]

[Itunesbabe]

thanks so much - i've got a majour voulme issue atm with a vid i'm making so this should help solve it - i forgot how to do this aswell so thanks again! :)

[SarahxOrochimaru]

didn't work it's still MUTED!!!!

[guerillabill]

make sure you haven't muted the entire track in the track control panel on the far left

[CaptainWhiptastic]

damn.. your amazing!!! better than vegas help! ive been doing that with spitting the tape which is annoying.. Sony should pay you !!!! what program do you use to make these videos??? I mean as in recording what your doing, is it vegas? how do you do it?

[guerillabill]

Thanks for your comments. I'd be happy if Sony would send me a check :>

I record these tutorials with Camtasia Studio

[CarolJWright]

This is fantastic. I couldn't find reference to this in the program's help feature. I almost junked the program cause I thought I couldn't do this. WHEW!

[purpledarklighter]

Thank you very much!

[beeb1421]

your tutorials have helped.

especially the one about un-grouping tracks.

i use that particular one everyday.

thanks bill

[beeb1421]

if you wanted to speak over lowered music, would you create a seperate voice track.lower the music using this method while raising the voice track using this method?

[guerillabill]

Yes, put the voice on one audio track, and the background music on another audio track.

Then reduce the volume of the background track to match your requirements.

[rubicxxxcube32]

Thank you sir, for the advice, but I am still having some problems. See, I have a clip of a voice, but there's a soundtrack playing in the background. Whatever I do, I can't get rid of the background noise. I even have a Sound Forge Audio Studio 9.0, but I can't find any good advice on how to use it, so it's rather useless. Is there anything I can do to get rid of the soundrack, but keep the voice in?

Thank you so much, sir.

God bless

[guerillabill]

Search google for 'sound track removal' and you'll find tools that do it.

[XenomexTutorials]

Thats REALLY useful, usually i just split the part i want to raise the volume for, but still, really helpful

[shaneuk666]

What screen recorder do you use?

[guerillabill]

I use camtasia studio

[XenomexTutorials]

wow, man i bet you have answered that question like billions of times :p

[strid3r21]

i learn something new every time i watch your tutorials. awesome work!

[kondrathesnail]

[Asif410]

[blackcat2enterprises]

This would have been useful for me to know earlier for a video I was editing but better late than never. =) Thank you so very much for this tip and all your wonderful tips.

By the way, just a thought I had before I pressed play, you have a great speaking voice. =)

[tpoozzz]

Thanks Bill! Your vids are so helpful. *5 stars*

[KeoghsGuides]

how do you add start and end points like that?

[guerillabill]

Put your mouse pointer on the timeline and double click

[albmab]

THANK YOU!! I had been trying to figure that out for like ever!

sorry, let me calm down abit.

I actually thought that sony vegas didn't have this feature...I was splitting the songs and lowering the levels.

OR I was going to render my videoclips, and then put it through Pinaccle Studio 11.

thank you!

[DeividasYT]

<3 you.

[MadBadVoodo]
