Hellis

It seems you have to remove the chincup to unbuckle the helmet. In my opinion a helmet is something that should be easy to remove, with or without a camera. And at some day you might want to have a dytter. But, you should get one. I bet everyone at the DZ will get a laugh or two

Below is three screenshots at the same frame. 1 is the original file from the camera. 2 is when the file has been renderd in Vegas as a mp4 file. 3 is when the renderd file has been renderd again as a mp4. There is some difference, but not as much as you would notice it when it's beeing played as a video in my opinion

Could be, but that should mean I can not run three windows of Vegas at each ~750 MB. And that my RAM is bad on my laptop also.

I tried to trim out the fat. But it seems Vegas can't handle these files. I know for a fact that Vegas has had (earlier versions, such as 9 ) loads of troubble with Contour videofiles. And I belive it's better with the new versions, but this version can not trim the files. First it starts making copys and you can see in the statusbar (step 1 of 2), and when the progressbar shows all files are copied it goes to Not responding status. I'm guessing step 2 of 2 is trimming the files, but it crashes before that happens and I end up with new copys of my files. And just to make sure it is not my computer that is the limiting factor I started three copys of Vegas and renderd on all three simultanius three different projects. All three projects are "at the limit of what Vegas can handle". Merging two of those projects will cause Vegas to crash but i could easily render all three at the same time. It seems when Vegas uses more than ~950 MB of RAM it crahses, but if I run several windows of Vegas and keep them below 900 MB it works great. Odd... If I could know for sure the newer versions of Vegas works better I would upgrade becasue I really like the way you edit videos in Vegas. But I really dislike the instabillity Thank you very much for your help so far!

I think what we are all saying here and what you obviously are missing is: You won't keep your first rigg for a couple of years. And knowing the jumpticket prices in Norway, I would rather put those money on jumptickets than a rig. Because a jumpticket will get you closer to a downsize, a new rig will not.

Scroll down to the bottom of the page and look at "Javelin med sabre 170sqf". Unless "average sized Norwegian", is goofysized it should fit you. And for aprox 1/4 of the new price. http://www.uffeshoppshop.se/index.php?dnode=49 Just a hint... 170 or 179 is no difference

Yes I have a lot of unused media. The medialibary I'm using is all my skydiving videos from this year (~60 GB) and will edit it down to a 1.5-2 GB file or 25 minutes of video. I will have a look at that setting/thing you wrote. I had no idea there was such a setting. However, I find it strange that Vegas imports all media to the memory and not only what is needed right now. The rendering is done frame by frame so in my opinion (perhaps not correct, but still) it should only have one or two videoclips on the RAM. Esspecially since computers are quite fast today, loading something to the RAM is not as big of a deal as it was 10 years ago. But maybe I'm missing something. Most likely I am

Dynamic RAM is set to 0. I belive it's the amount of files/GB of raw video used in the project that makes it crash. When I was editing one part of it, it started geting "laggy" and once I got "not responding" fo a few seconds. But then I split that part in two and pressed the flash button in project media and it became more responsive again and could render the part of my project I had. That sucks if I will lose quality, but it is the only way I can render the project. Any way that can set Vegas to "use the files in it's raw state" when I render the parts toghether? So that it does not compress again? I would guess not, but it would be great. Edit: I render to a harddrive. 7200 rpm i belive. But as I wrote above it's not only when I render I get problems

I have tried it in mp4 also, but just as before Vegas cant handle the project. But if I split it in smaler pieces it works. After that I can import the renderd files and merge them. Seems to work. I have about 6-7 min video left to render and then I just have to pray that it can merge all the files in to one

You're doing it wrong if your sticky tape falls off before the mount breaks. Not mount, case. The clear plastic case you put the GoPro in

If I had a canopy that opend like that, it would be doing CReW with my freebag

Are you talkiing about skydiving again or entanglement with your skis?

In that case, I would recomend the sticy tape even more than if it was for skydiving purpose. If you tumble with the sticky tape it will fall off and you can mount it again. If you tumble with the metal mount the plastic GoPro case will break, I have seen it happen. That means you need to buy a new case instead of just a smal piece of sticky tape.

I just tried to render a video on my laptop using those settings on a Sony AVC. It seems to work. My other stationary computer is almost 3 feet to my left and turned off But I will give it a try tomorrow, have to go to bed now anyways. Thank you very much!

Thank you. But I guess that does not work in 9. I can not press the Custom button. If open the Template dropdown menu I can chose between: Default template, Apple iPod 320x240 and Apple iPod 640x480. And independent of what I chose the custom button is still grayed out (not working). However, Sony Avc which also has mp4 container is customizable. Would that work?

On a computer, in 720p 60 fps. There will be a copy on youtube, but the primary use will be in it's raw file in as high quality as possible

I used wmv earlier, but I know i have used avi with good sucess. But now the size is hugh in avi. Don't know why. Mov sorenson compression works but usually gives me quite crappy quality. Mpeg won't render at all. Mp4, does that support 720 60 fps? I can't remember, I willt have a look when I get home. Maybe I can render it in smal pieces ~7-8 min clips and then start a new project where I render those clips in to one video?

By some reason my videos are rendering hugh! a few seconds of video gave me 8 GB video. Don't know whats up with that. It did not do that earlier.

Fair enough. I attached a picture. But 9c? I have never seen that, are you sure you are not talking about Vegas Pro?

Yes, 9b (build 92) The computer only has the necessary stuff installed. It's supposed to be a rendering computer, and perhaps little more but I have not installed anything that is not needed. Could it be because of it's only a 32 bit version?

Usually stops at frame 555-559, but last time it got to probably 2000. I didn't look, I thought it was working. But I guess not

Sorry I knew i forgot something. Sony Vegas platinum 9 Will try that

Is there a maximum size of a project and then Vegas start acting up? I have about 11 min of 720p 60fps video in the project, with music, some text, some transisions, very little effects. But now crashes everyime I try to work on the project. I found a solution to the problem that it crashes on startup (CTRL + Shift + W), but now it crashes when I use browse in the project, render, play it. Pretty much random, but I know it will happen. At one point it complained about not enough memory. The computer: ASUS P8Z68-V LX, Socket-1155 Intel® Core i5-2400 Processor Kingston ValueR. DDR3 1333MHz 8GB, CL9 Gainward GeForce GTX 550Ti 1GB PhysX Is that not enough?

Some canopys are quite stable in deep brakes/stall. They can even fly backwards http://youtu.be/1twC8F2ptmU?hd=1

I agree with you completly. And i would like to add: Pull above or below the cloud, you should know where they start and end. If you can't pull above or below, it would be stupid to jump in the first place. But if you still decide to jump I think the method of turning is better than just drifting around in the cloud.
