Sony Vegas Help!

[Peter007]

Ok so I am using Sony Vegas 8 for a school project but I am having major problems...

So I am having trouble with the rate of the video. Which is the place where you can change the rate of the video and make yourself sound like a person with a low or high voice. The thing is though when I actually render the video which I believe is when you save it, it will not save the high pitched rate sound I had on there... How do I keep the sound rate the same while saving a video?

Also when I save the video why is it so huge? 8 min video and it is over 2Gb...... Ridiculous...... So what is the real way to actually save (export) a video where it isn't huge?

How do I do all these things while saving? Thanks!!

2GB for 8 min? dang. What format are your rendering it in? It could be the format.

where did you get the video srouce? if its RAW DV then your talking about 400MB to 800MB per min. it could be saving it in DV. you need to compress it to some thing like MPEG-2 or how every you want to distribute it.

I was rendering it to AVI which I think that was the file size problem.

But the real question is how do I keep the high pitched audio rate the same while saving?

I haven’t had problems with it. Saving in AVI does indeed use a lot of space. I suggest MPEG for what you’re doing. Since I make videos for my church, family, and School I use High Deff which uses about 50gb per 10 mins.
