VASST DoubleTake User’s Guide Version 1.0

DoubleTake is a dual camera editing tool that will assist you in making edit decisions for a two camera shoot. VASST is offering as part of our Freeware collection so you can increase you productivity and experience the quality of our VASST software products. This User’s Guide will explain the simple two step process that will allow you to make quick work of editing a two camera project. Let’s start by getting the tool up and running.

Setup up Vegas for using DoubleTake
DoubleTake is not a standalone application. It is a script that runs within Sony Vegas®. The standard way to run the DoubleTake script in Vegas is to use the Script Menu:
Go to Tools > Scripting > VASST Freeware > DoubleTake in the Vegas menu bar and this will bring up the DoubleTake Graphical User Interface (GUI). But that’s a lot of menu clicking if you use DoubleTake a lot. Luckily there is a much easier way as we explain next.
Place the DoubleTake icon on the toolbar
It is recommended that you place the DoubleTake script on your Vegas toolbar for fastest and most efficient operation of the tool. Double-click the Toolbar in Vegas (or select Options > Customize Toolbar… from the Vegas menu), and the Customize Toolbar dialog opens.

DSLR Buyers Guide

DSLR Buyers Guide

So, you have decided to buy a DSLR digital camera instead of a top end digital compact camera? There are many factors you now need to consider before buying your camera. For example; Canon Vs Nikon, how many mega pixels, kit lens or better etc… the list goes on! Hopefully this handy guide will help to answer some of those questions for you;

Make of camera:
This is a tough one, as to look at the two market leaders, Canon and Nikon, of DSLR cameras there is not a lot to separate either. For many years Canon has been regarded as a high end professional camera manufacturer and has dominated sports photographers as well as photo journalist’s camera bags. Canon has recently revamped its entry level DSLR cameras with many new additions; Canon 350D, Canon 400D and the Canon 450D. Nikon have recently released new entry level DSLR cameras such as the Nikon D80, Nikon D40 and the Nikon D40X.

Mega pixels:
In basic terms the quality of an image has nothing to do with the mega pixel count. The quality of an image is mostly related to the digital sensor that captures the light. The amount of mega pixels a DSLR camera has, has an impact on how big you would like to print out your images. The higher the count, the bigger you can potentially print out an image.

Manual controls:
Nearly all DSLR cameras come with full manual controls. This enables you to control shutter speed, ISO setting, white balance, auto-focus (or) manual focus, metering, lens aperture and multiple set programmes. The above are all basic manual controls that should be found on all DSLR cameras.

Memory cards:
If you are moving up from a digital compact camera you may already have a large collection of memory cards that you are hoping to use with your new DSLR. Not all cameras take the same type of memory cards though. Canon cameras mainly take Compact Flash cards with newer cameras starting to accept Secure Digital cards. While Nikon take a variety of Secure Digital cards, Compact Flash cards and Microdrive cards.

Sarah’s Quick Guide to using a Digital Video Camera

Sarah’s Quick Guide to using a Digital Video Camera

DV Cameras are small and compact devices that record images and sound on either a DV tape or a memory stick. Each camera has an inbuilt microphone, a hand strap to make holding the camera easier and a screen to see the what footage is being taken

From the back you can see:
The View finder- a more conventional way to view what the camera is recording, but this can sometimes be harder to use than the Viewing screen

Battery pack- all DV cameras have a battery source. Using a battery makes the camera more flexible and easier to use. You can charge the battery by plugging a camera into a mains socket or by putting the battery into a recharger. – you will need to eject the battery.- Battery Eject button
To record with your camera, you will need to switch the mode button to ‘camera’ and then press the record button – this has a red spot on it
