  Vegas Pro 10c: Stabilize AND reverse same clip?

  Posted by James Farnum on July 20, 2011 at 11:48 am

  When I stabilize a clip, “reverse” is greyed out and vice-versa. In other words, I can’t stabilize AND reverse the same clip.

  Is this normal or am I doing something wrong? I’m working with .MTS files.

  Thanks for any help.

  Same here. I guess this is normal. You’ll have to apply either one and render to a new track (Ctrl+M) to apply the other.

  Stabilization and reverse are applied in real time (during preview or render). I guess Sony figured that allowing both might be too much of a processing hit.

  Thanks for your responses, gentlemen.

  John, your suggestion does the trick. Thanks. I just feel I’m making it too complicated. Here’s my work flow:

  1 Drag the (reversed) clip from the PROJECT MEDIA window to a random spot on the timeline.

  2 Mark it to create a loop region.

  3 Hit CTRL + M to render to new track using SONY AVC (I’m working with m2ts files).

  4 Drag new clip thus created from PROJECT MEDIA window to appropriate spot on timeline (after having deleted old, non-stabilizable clip).

  5 Stabilize the clip (as you said, this now works).

  6 Delete clip placed on timeline in step 1.

  7 Delete new video and audio tracks automatically added in timeline.

  I’m wondering if there’s any way to make this simpler. Particularly the two new tracks that are created and have to be deleted in step 7 seem superfluous.

  At any rate, it DOES work. So thanks again!
