    Using Vegas 10.0c (build 470)

    a HD 1080-60i (1920×1080, 29.970 fps) project with 6 images (a simple test)

    Rendering using QuickTime7, VASST(GrafPak) HD 1280×720-30p Video Overlay with:
    Field order: None (progressive)
    Pixel aspect ratio: 1.000
    Video format: PNG
    Compressed depth: 32 bpp
    Quality: High

    when pressing Save, Render completes in seconds and only a .mov.sfl is created. No .mov file created.

    What am I doing wrong?
    Thanks.

    Saving only saves the project file (*.veg) so make sure you select Render instead.

    That’s what I just said. Save (from the File Render As) dialog … all that is created is a .mov.sfl file. Where’s the .mov file?

    I also tried Video for Windows (*.avi). However, in the Custom Settings dialog, the line:
    —> Render alpha channel (uncompressed video formats only)

    is disabled. Thus, I can’t render an avi file with an alpha channel.

    How do I get the alpha channel line enabled?
    Thanks.

    Make sure you don’t have a tiny loop region selected, especially if the Render loop region only box is selected in the Render dialog.
    Either make sure all events are selected or deselect this option.

    It makes no difference if a region is selected or not.

    1. Why is .mov.sfl file created and the .mov file missing?

    Also, if I use File Render As, Video for Windows (*.avi), Custom … the Render Alpha channel option is disabled.

    2. How do I get this option enabled?

    If you’re going to an AVI file, you choose “Uncompressed” for the alpha option to become active.
