Actually, I'm not using Motion Perfect for the X0 Project, because we aren't slowing any footage down (how many people know how many slo-mo scenes are actually in the OT?
)"One other question. Are there any ways to reduce the amount of dropped frames? I get way to many frame drops at a vhs vcr rainbow edit. Worse, I often get this huge 30 min amount of black empty space placed between a frame drop of 30 frames at the most."
I'm not sure what's creating the 30-min space, but I don't capture with Vegas. I downloaded the Standalone Mainconcept encoder, and found that that program gives me the best captures with no drops. Now, this is in regards to anything non-DV (i.e. capturing from a VCR.) You should try a variety of programs to see what gets you the best result.
When capturing from my mini-DV camcorder, I do use Vegas, but I don't get dropped frames. When you are capturing video from any source, you need to make sure all resources are available, and that you have plenty of memory and hard disk space. Set up the capture process, and LEAVE THE COMPUTER ALONE!
If you continue to get dropped frames, you might want to reboot your computer, and then go into msconfig.exe and turn off unnecessary programs.
