The new Photoshop CS2 has output to firewire and opens some new possibilities for titling in Vegas. I've found that using the usual Vegas 655x480 image size however does not preview properly when sending to NTSC monitor from Photoshop. Here's a workaround.
Create a new image and select NTSC DV 720x480. Under the image>pixel aspect menu set it to D1/DV NTSC (0.9)
Now under the file>export menu set the Photoshop the video preview window image option to:
1. Aspect Ratio 4:3
2. Center
3. Image size - Do not scale
4. And check "apply pixel aspect ratio to preview"
Now you can either File>export>send preview to video device or to make it easier set it up as an action with a hotkey. This is nice because now you don't always have to switch back and forth between Vegas and Photoshop to check changes.
Now when bringing the title into Vegas make sure that once it's on the timeline you right click the clip go to properties and uncheck "maintain aspect ratio". Now it will look proper. Still a bit tedius but until Sonyfixes their 1980s titler or 3rd party plugin preview support it's another option.
