Sony Vegas Pro 12 Tutorials
Vegas Workflow / Previewing
Subtitles of the Movie (Sony Vegas Pro 12 / Vegas Workflow / Previewing)
To conclude this section I want to look at previewing our files, not just simply by using the main monitor view over on the right there. I want to be able to preview our files at a much higher quality, in fact replicating the final quality if possible. Now in previous versions of Vegas you could easily preview your files on your timeline by going up to Tools and there you would be able to select the option Preview in Player. But as you can see that option isn't available here in Vegas Pro 12. However, no fear we can still do the same thing but by using an alternate route. Now before I show you notice I've got these four events on my timeline. Now I want to remove three of them only because it will take less time to render out a preview file if I just do it for one event. The principle of what I'm going to show you of course still applies regardless of how long my timeline is and however many events I've got populating it. Now there is actually a method for rendering a partial preview of our timeline but we'll save that for another timeline. Here I'll show you the straightforward approach. So to start off I'll select event four there, right-click on it and then run up to Delete. Notice I could have hit the Delete key on my keyboard. And I'll do the same thing for event three, I'll select it, right-click and then roll up to hit Delete. And now exactly the same for event number two there okay? Right. I'll do a quick save by hitting the Save Button there. Okay. Here's the process. Go up to File and then roll down to Render As and this opens this Render As Dialog Box. It's not particularly complicated so let's work our way through it. Now at the top we'll see there where it says Folder and this is where our outputted rendered file will be saved. I'm going to leave it as it's set but of course you could change it more appropriate for your system. And below in the second field well here is where we name our file. Now this automatically takes on our project name as we can see up there, VTC Nest 1. Again change this should you want to. Okay. Now let's move down and choose our output format. Now at present and this is only because this was run a few moments ago as I was trying it out for you, well as you can see it's set to Windows Media version 11 with the extension WMV. I'll just click there to collapse the twirl arrow option and I'll use my vertical scrollbar and click to go up to the top to see this alphabetized list of available output formats. And headed by well as you can see a number of different audio output formats. Now that's just a coincidence. If we move down then we can see some video options as well for example, there's QuickTime 7. Now I'll drag my vertical slider down a little bit because I want to for this tutorial just choose Video for Windows the extension AVI there. And I'll click to twirl this open and here I can choose from loads of different presets, some are PAL, some are NTSC. Now I'm going to choose PAL DVD Widescreen just for this tutorial and I'll leave my other two options as they are, the render and metadata options. And then simply go down and click on the Render Button. Now dependent on how much you've got on your timeline and remember I actually removed three events from my timeline leaving me with just one. Well dependent on how long your timeline is and how heavily populated it is, then this can take some time. But once it's done then you're going to see this dialog box. Well, I say you're going to see this dialog box, you might have it set so that this dialog box closes down automatically once the rendering process has taken place. As you can see there, there is a checkbox and it's unchecked at the moment. If I'd got that checked where it says Close this Dialog Box when Rendering Complete then of course once the rendering process had completed, this dialog box will have disappeared automatically. As it is as part of my preparation I left it unchecked it for you so that you could see this dialog box. And this option and therefore if you want to watch your file, once it has completely rendered, then of course you can click on any of those two options there, Open or Open Folder. I'll click on Close and I've only done that up so I can set this up so that you can view it during this tutorial. And here it is. So let's have a quick look, here we go I'll click Play. (Audio Playing) Right then so that's what it sounds like and looks like with the original rehearsal studio audio. Over the next section we're going to start building up our events and in particular we'll begin to look at how we can improve our audio. Not just simply by substituting the original audio recording that we've just heard here with the studio quality recorded track. But we'll also look at ways that we can improve our original audio. Right. We'll finish up here then as we conclude let's just watch through what we've just rendered out with the studio recording. (Audio Playing)
