No it doesn't, because in most cases it would be overkill.

Check out the "Make Video"/ "Advanced" options. Also try watching the How-to-tutorials in the Help section.]]> Mon, 20 Jan 2014 19:14:08 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic2243-help-with-sony-vegas.aspx Message from urbanlamb ninamag wrote:

without being able to "make muvizu in sony vegas", one should be able to open muvizu .set files in vegas (at least i think it is programmably possible, if the programmers want it so).



The assets are openable in any software the sets are not and should not be since the entire purpose of muvizu is to be a render engine. Also any animations would be impossible as sony vegas is just a film editor. Set files are created so we can make videos or targa sequences for use which sony vegas has no issue with. The set is a means to an end but if one says open sets in vegas then why not just avoid and bypass muvizu altogether . The reality is though no vegas would not be able to handle this information lighting, animations, objects. After affects and a few other programs can handle some 3d single objects that is as far as it goes though.]]> Mon, 20 Jan 2014 19:12:14 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic2243-help-with-sony-vegas.aspx Message from ziggy72 ninamag wrote:

When you go to make your movie, you have options - output it as a movie or as a TGA sequence. It's in a drop down box.]]> Mon, 20 Jan 2014 19:11:44 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic2243-help-with-sony-vegas.aspx Message from primaveranz ninamag wrote:

It isn't possible. Vegas is a video editing software package, Muvizu is a 3D animation creation tool with a proprietary file type .SET. It would be like trying to use a vegetable juicer to build a bicycle.]]> Mon, 20 Jan 2014 19:10:05 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic2243-help-with-sony-vegas.aspx Message from ninamag fazz68 wrote:

Yup, I use Vegas 11 with Muvizu's iYUV codec and they're just fine - using an uncompressed file always gives you a better result. One question though - why output the project at 1080 when Muvizu can only put out 720? Seems a bit wasteful



was the above quote made before muvizu was able to output at 1080?

Yes - 720 was the highest you could export a movie out until Play+ came along, which now allows 1080.


Having said that, I no longer use movie codecs at all, and use TGA sequences instead (to avoid the dreaded 2gb file size limit, which at 1080 you hit after about 20 seconds of footage).

I know this thread is old but thought I'd just add, if you are using Sony Vegas make sure you select all of the video clips, right click choose 'switches' and ensure 'disable resampling' is selected before rendering. It can make a huge difference especially if you have cameras panning while an actor is also moving.

can sony vegas natively edit a muvizu file, as in a .set file?]]> Mon, 20 Jan 2014 15:42:06 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic2243-help-with-sony-vegas.aspx Message from ninamag ziggy72 wrote:

I use .tga sequence from Muvizu then Main Concept from Vegas. Keep everything at 1280x720 all the way through the process. Don't upscale or downscale. When you have finished the movie don't forget to delete the raw frames.

Just my way of working, hope this helps. ]]> Fri, 02 Nov 2012 02:48:11 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic2243-help-with-sony-vegas.aspx Message from urbanlamb
Before I replaced my webcam I only had the iYUV to work with and it was the best option. The codec that works really well for me is made by logitech and comes with their HD webcams so maybe you can find something online you can install. I think codecs is sort of hit and miss for rendering off things like muvizu.

haha you can make your 20 minute long movie in muvizu the problem is the uncompressed clips are so huge that anything longer then 1 minute your pc will not want to play it that is why I say 1 minute. Its a "windows pc thing" lol. You can in fact render the entire 20 minute clip from muvizu but your pc will choke on it and says its not recognizable. So the cure is to limit the clip to 1 minute (2 gigs) so i make my clips all 1.99 gigs which is about 1 minute

Aaaaaah.... Now I seeCool Most of my clips are 2-3mins. Looks like it's all about changing camera shots.

Thanks again!]]> Tue, 23 Oct 2012 22:43:20 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic2243-help-with-sony-vegas.aspx Message from urbanlamb

That seems awefully cumbersome. Any workaround on this asdie from being smart with camera shot riiiight around the 1 minute mark ?

Ziggy - I had read somewhere on a forum that if you increased resolution to a maximum output it would help. Initally the video settings at 720p just like in Muvizu. Then I tried just about everything hoping it would work to no avail. Just wishful thinking on my part.

Thanks again guys. I just may get my first vid out after all!]]> Tue, 23 Oct 2012 22:11:28 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic2243-help-with-sony-vegas.aspx Message from urbanlamb

The uncompressed is really easy to work with then use a codec from your sony package at the end (this really applies to any video editing software you use .. in my case its corel hehe)

Just remember that if your going for uncompressed that your clips are limited to 1 minute long.]]> Tue, 23 Oct 2012 20:51:12 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic2243-help-with-sony-vegas.aspx Message from Dreeko
I only use xvid when rendering out the FINAL edit from sony vegas as the file size is nice and small for youtube..

I export in an uncompressed format from muvizu I find that any codecs I install really messes up the clips I am working with. Then I tend to only use h264. I have had horrible experience with xvid it just simply is not a good codec unless you pay for their commercial grade package. Just my two cents but since your using sony vegas do they have "blu ray" format? as that uses the h264 codec and it works well ]]> Tue, 23 Oct 2012 18:26:03 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic2243-help-with-sony-vegas.aspx Message from Xpander
I've been trying to get my first video out but am having a bear of a time with it. I have several clips from Muvizu that I have rendered and am trying to edit them in Sony Vegas Pro Version 12. When I import a Muvizu clip, it plays fine. ONce I move the clip, trim the clip, insert a transition or create a video fade between two clips the clip becomes pizelated. Sometimes the it will correct itself but more time than not, the clip now becomes pixelated at the transition. Also sometimes the clip that is fading in will be totally balnk for a few sconds and then the video will show. I've tried all different types of output formats, I've disabled video acceleration during previewing, i've tried to double render and a bunch of other tricks I've read about on the interwebs. I figured I'm come on here since I can't have ben to only person havnig this issue. My computer specs are prety decent so it doesn't seem like it's a hardware issue, I'm guessing it's more a codec issue. Specs are listed below:

Computer (laptop):

  • 2.3GHz Intel Core i7-3610QM Quad-Core
  • 16GB of DDR3 RAM
  • 1.5TB ExpressCache Hard Drive
  • nVIDIA GeForce GTX 675M Graphics (2GB)
    • Muvizu videos rendered with the following settings:

    1280x 720 hd720
    Xcode Mpeg-codec
    Profile level -Xvid hd 1080
    Single pass
    Target quantizer 4.00
    Anti aliasing checked on
    Using Direct X 9

    Using Muvizu version MZASS-v0.22b - build: 2012.09.11.01R (64-bit) DX9

    In Sony Vegas I have set up my project as HD 1080-24p
    I've tried Pixel format 8 bit and both 32 bit options to no avail.

    I've also checked the option to make the project the same as the imported clips to no avail.

    I've treid rendering in all sorts of methods; as hd-720 with mpeg codec, Hd-1080-24p, Sony avc, Main concept avc Internet 720p & 1080p and nothign seems to work.

    If anyone can give me some help it woul dbe GREEEEATLY appreciated. I'm wondering if I should hcange codecs, but have heard nightmares about changing codecs. I can make movies just fine and render them in Muvizu with the codec, I just can't edit without pixelization. Bummer....]]>     Tue, 23 Oct 2012 18:08:35 GMT
