Mike...

There's a .mov template? Maybe I'm doing something wrong here (as a
new user.) When I attempt to render, I use the Make Movie button.
But the Render As settings are the same. If I use anything but the
default template for Quick Time...I can't keep my project dimensions
(420 X 315.) If I go to, say, a typical web setting such as
256Kbps...it kicks in the Q-Design compression...but changes the
dimensions of my movie to 320 X 240.

[Wait...never mind...I just discovered the customizing features under
Render As...I can customize any of the templates...I can even turn the
audio off (since it's a slide show.) What's the deal w/ Sorenson 3?]

Wow...you helped me again...a lot !!! Holy sh_t...this is a great
program.

Let me ask you this...a little off topic...but it's where I'm
basically headed w/ this slideshow. I put it together in SVMS6...but
I now want to turn it into a Flash movie (.swf) [Flash is the best
format for web video, IMO...cause the controls don't show in any
form...it's just the size of your movie screen on the web page...it's
what most of the artists at myspace music use, also.]

Flash can import .mov, .avi, .wmv, etc...but, if you have any
familiarity w/ this...what's the best format to output from Vegas to
import to Flash? Would any of the output formats used by Vegas be
considered "industry standard cross-platform" for use in any video
editor (much in the same way RIFF .wav files can be edited in any
Windows-based DAW)?

Thanks for all your help (& I thanked 'em over at DMN.)


Output as DV-AVI. I use SwishVideo to create Flash files. Works well and
is relatively inexpensive. I was impressed that a NASA video unit uses it
to create Flash videos on the NASA site. I believe rendering out of Vegas
to an AVI file is the best choice because it is relatively uncompressed,
which makes it a better file to use later to create other compressed files
including the MPEG-2 files needed to create DVDs. You can also edit an AVI
file easily years from now, assuming you have flushed or lost all your
original camera files and the Vegas session files. Re-editing the other
file types you mentioned involve the compromises in quality that are mostly
inevitable, when processing already highly compressed video.
