Markers from Vegas not showing up in Sound Forge?

[Gavin Stokes]

Forgot to mention, I’m using the latest versions: Vegas 6 and Sound Forge 8.

You can save markers with the media using the Trimnmer. Does that help?

I opened a file that was rendered with the “save markers” option turned on. It was an MPEG2 file with markers saved for creating a DVD. I opened that file in Sound Forge and the markers showed up fine. Now if you just have markers on the timeline but have not rendered, those would not show. After rendering with the “save markers” option turned on, they should appear fine when loading the new file.

Thanks, but I tried that. They still don’t show up. Plus, it’s a little cumbersome to have to put everything in the trimmer and then go to Sound Forge.

Thanks Edward, but there is no video to render in my project. There’s just a low-quality video track to use for timing. I set markers in Vegas (based on events in the video) and then say “open in Sound Forge.” Mysteriously, there are no markers.

I’m mystified if no one has noticed this problem. How do you set cue points for reference when you go into the audio editor?

Even when rendering to WAV there’s an option to include markers. You don’t need video – that’s just what I tested with.

What would I be rendering? I just want to open the file in Sound Forge. I haven’t done anything that warrants rendering. I have to rewrite hundreds of megabytes of audio every time I want to add or move a marker? That really wouldn’t be acceptable, and it also wouldn’t make sense because the markers aren’t even stored in the audio file itself; they’re in an sfk file.

Thanks though.
