Subject:AVI Video playback support?

I touched upon this in the Sound Forge forum, but will ask here - Can or Will Acid (any version) incorporate .AVI/ (mov, qt, etc) support so as to allow for locking Acid to picture and composing that way. I've tried locking Acid to Sound Forge and Vegas to trigger/lock the video and Sound Forge isn't really tracking, just triggering (and it doesn't work well to begin with) and Vegas had some problems playing my Pinnacle DC30+ 500+MB AVI file. In fact, it won't play it at all making Vegas useless. It just loads it and stutters along, not even spitting the data out to the DC-30 Card. Cakewalk Pro Audio 9 can do this however so it has to be trivial. Also, I'm not about to spend $400-$600 on Vegas just to lock video to Acid. AND... here's the kick in the ass... I read a spec on Vegas 2.0 before it was released on your website here that it was supposed to fully support .AVI playback so as to allow for scoring to picture... It was shortly thereafter removed I assume as 2.0 came out with no mention of video support :-( (Really, I did see this... I swear I wasn't on Acid... err... sorry) Bat |

Simple answer. No. ACID does not support AVI or any video media. I don't ever recall ACID being discussed with video support. Maybe I missed that meeting. (You actually typed Vegas 2.0 in your post. If this is what you really mean, then yes, Vegas does have simple video support and in a new release will have extensive video support.)

I saw on the website here ACID 2.0 specs claiming AVI support. It soon disappeared... Ok - Vegas doesn't seem to playback pinnacle made (DC30+ card) AVI's at all... It chokes and coughs... |

I hear ya. I too just found out to my great frustration that it does not support AVI and I too remember reading on the site saying it was going to support it because that's why I upgraded from 1.0 Plus it's on the box for crissakes ! You see an avi among ACID screen shots. I think it's safe to say that there were plans to support avi ! When can we expect that to be added then ? -marC >> >>AND... here's the kick in the ass...

Hello... Where on any of the Acid box does it say this? Where on the website did you see that? Thanks. Marc Baril wrote: >>I hear ya.

I believe that the ACID 2.0 box shows Sound Forge XP with a video clip. Don't have the box handy.

When Acid 2.0 was first being announced as "coming soon" on this website (which had a slightly different design), one of the features it touted was "AVI support". That is why I was so eager to check it out. I don't go around saving web pages like that so all I can say is check the archives? I believe it was on an upcoming features list page... If not, then perhaps it was just a dream...

We both had the same dream I guess... Peter Haller is right though. I checked the ACID Pro box and where it shows video it's actually Sound Forge XP...but you gotta admit it is somewhat misleading to see SF XP screen shots on an ACID box. So my reading on the web with seeing video on the box I thought there was AVI spport. Obviously I was not the only one. But you guys are missing the point. Instead of arguing whether or not SF made a faulty announcement on their website, I'm much more interested in hearing if they will add AVI capabilty and when. We can't seem to get an answer on that.

Yep, could be misinterpreted. Was not the intent to mislead. As far as Video and ACID. We hear the requests and the right people are aware of it. I can't say much more than that right now.
