3 quick questions…
Hi all, thanks in advance…
1) Is there a way to run Movie Studio in a “full screen” mode? (I’m working on a laptop with limited space, and even a bit more would help.)
2) In the View menu, I hide the Toolbar — but every time I launch Movie Studio, it shows up again — is that a bug?
3) Is it possible to change the default tracks that show up when I launch Movie Studio? (I’d prefer none, at least for now.)
Thanks!

No.

I see the same behavior here. Perhaps it’s a bug.

No. Vegas Pro starts you out with none but Movie Studio always has 6 (3 video + 3 audio).

I’m not a Vegas Movie Studio user (Vegas Pro), but I think you can probably fix #2 and definitely #3 by setting up a dummy project with no tracks and the toolbar the way you want it. Save the project as “Scotts Template” or something like that. Whenever you want to start a new project, open the Scotts Template (which should have no tracks) and then go on from there.

That’s a good idea. You could modify the icon on your desktop to start with the template as a parameter so that it gets leaded automatically. You just have to remember to use Save As and not Save so that you don’t overlay the template. You might even try making the template file read only so that you can’t save over it.

Thanks, trouble is I can’t seem to simply pin the blank document to the taskbar.
Also, it seems the Toolbar does show back up.
But thanks again…

One little update:
By creating a Shortcut to the Movie Studio .exe on my desktop, and then editing the Shortcut Target to also include the path to my blank template file — that Shortcut icon can then be dragged into the Taskbar, and that seems to work. (Silly that it’s so complicated!)

You were expecting Microsoft to make it easy? They want everyone to be sys admins. lol.
Glad you figured it out.
