When I use the Film Looks functions, it renders a new file. Why is that?
The Celluloid Film Looks will force Vegas to change it's project properties to 23.976 IVTC, and will render a new file that is 24P if you check the 24P tic box. You should only do rough cuts prior to this process, and then create edits, titles, transitions, color correction, etc based on the 24P file and not the original file.
 
What is Celluloid?
Celluloid is a scripting application for Sony Vegas 4 and Sony Vegas 5. When you install it, it also installs ReelPak-1by David Jimerson.
 
What is ReelPak-1 by David Jimerson?
ReelPak-1 by David Jimerson is a collection of 15 Film Looks that mimic popular types of film looks available from various sources. It may be installed as a module to VASST's Ultimate S application, or may be installed as a part of the Celluloid standalone application.
 
Can I run Celluloid at the same time as I'm running Ultimate S?
Absolutely. In fact, we hope you want to. Ultimate S has all the same features as Celluloid, plus an additional 50 features not found in Celluloid, but they may run on the same computer in the same instance of Vegas. We think you might like to have the full stand-alone version of Celluloid because of the cool-looking interface.
 
Once you hit okay in film effects, you cannot cancel the render, the cancel button does not work.
You can press ESC (escape) and it will cancel the renders. You can’t click on Cancel with the mouse because the Celluloid dialog is hidden but the script is still blocking you from interacting with Vegas.
 
Why do my Celluloid and other script icons disappear from the Toolbar?
This is a known issue within Vegas 5, where icons occasionally disappear from the toolbar.
 
Will Celluloid run in older versions of Vegas?
We do offer a version of Celluloid for Vegas 4e. Earlier versions of Vegas do not have all the same scripting capability as Vegas 4.0e and Vegas 5.  As Vegas has matured, so have the number of accesses Sony has allowed programmers to have regarding the software.
How do I load the Celluloid icon on my toolbar?
Load the Celuloid icon on your toolbar by double clicking the toolbar. The Customize Toolbar window opens. On the left side, scroll down until you find the Celluliod icon. YClick ADD in the Customize Toolbar, and it will install the icon to the toolbar next to any script icons you may already have in place.

 

How do I unlock my Trial Version of Celluloid after I've purchased it?
Click on Start > All Programs > VASST Celluloid > License Installer.and just cut and paste the key into it and press OK. That's all there is to it. This should unlock the program. Let us know if you have any problems.

 
What is the 30P checkbox for?
The 30P checkbox allows Celluloid to set up a 30P project and apply Film Looks to the project. Use this if your delivery is to a Progressive Scan DVD.
 
 
What is the "Reduce Interlace Filter" checkbox for?
Sometimes, when applying the Widescreen aspect from a 4:3 project, you may see interlacing artifacts. This is normal, and is media dependent. For this reason, Celluloid offers the opportunity to apply the Vegas Reduce Interlace Flicker to all media on the timeline. Use this if you see interlacing or flickering at the top or bottom of your media. Depending on the media, it potentially may soften the image.
 
Is Celluloid HDV-ready?
Celluloid and Ultimate S are both ready for HDV at either the 720p or 1080i resolutions.
 
Is there a Users Guide?
Yes, you can download it by clicking here.
 
How do I start Celluloid for the first time?
Celluloid is a script plug-in for Vegas and must be run from within Vegas. If you have Vegas 5, you will find it under: Tools > Scripting > VASST Celluloid > Celluloid .
If you have Vegas 4 you have to use: Tools > Scripting > Run Script... And find it on your file system top run. (C:\Program Files\VASST\VASST Celluloid for Vegas 4\Celluloid.js).
