Default Render Settings
I am using Vegas 9. When I click Render-As, ‘Save project markers on media file’ is checked by default. Is there any way to reverse that? I would like it to be unchecked by default.
I know this sounds insignificant. However, without getting into my company’s specific workflow, I assure you that it is not.

Hold Shift key as you click on “Preferences” under the “Options” menu. When the dialogue pops up, there will be an additional tab called “Internal”. There will be 200+ settings availible to change, so take your time to locate the particular flag you are looking for. I strongly advise you not to touch anything else there: half of the options can be reached via normal, “unshifted” Preferences dialogue; the other half, however, are deemed to be too risky to modify by the end-user (me and you), who operate under the license agreement. Do it at your own risk; you may have to re-install Vegas if you mess up.

Wow, that’s a great tip. Thank you Vladimir. I would love to be able to have “Render Using Network Computers” checked by default and “Save project markers in media file” unchecked by default. Unfortunately, I can’t find those options in the Internal tab.
I know these issues sound trivial to most people, but I am working in a unique environment where multiple users are churning out hundreds of clips per day and minimizing clicks, potential for errors, and those annoying project marker files that confuse our network would be fantastic.
It is odd that “Render loop region only” will revert to whatever setting you had it on last, but “Render using networked computers will not”.
Separately, any idea what Enable Crash Test Dummy does in the Input tab?

The solution to uncheck/disable Save project markers on media file,
is not available in the Internal preferences option.
As i said, you have to ignore it.Steve Rhoden

Thank you for your input, Steve. I can see now why you said just ignore it. It was my impression that unchecking this would prevent Vegas from creating those .sfl files which any of the 800 people at this company often mistake for video files, causing confusion that could lead in things not making it to air.
Now I see that those files are created whether the function is checked or unchecked, and it is actually the render format that determines whether or not the .sfl is generated.
Now only if we could get Vegas to default to “Render using networked computers” and save my team 900 clicks a week.

Sam, you could always create your own custom render template and save it with the save markers unchecked and use that whenever you want to render… .
My system specs: Intel i7 970, 12GB RAM, ASUS P6T, Vegas Pro 10e (x32/x64), Windows 7 x64 Ultimate, Vegas Production Assistant 1.0, VASST Ultimate S Pro 4.1, Neat Video Pro 2.6

I am using Vegas 9 and my render templates seem to have no affect on those check boxes, which are in the main ‘Render As’ dialog box and not within the custom template settings.

Even if you save your own custom template, it Still gonna come up ticked guys….

I didn’t realize you’ve been talking about Vegas 9, sorry. In the latest version (Vegas 11 x64) the “save markers” box is un-ticked by default.
