  • project media tab has gone??

    Posted by Meg Brad on September 12, 2009 at 10:01 am

    okay so I recently got sony vegas platinum 9..and I’m working on one project. I dragged the ‘project media box’ away so I could see the timeline better, and it went off the screen.I went to view and ‘project media’, tried unselecting and reselecting, but the project media tab doesn’t appear next to the transitions tab etc. I tried restarting the program, new project, etc, and the project media has just gone..please help..I cant make a video with no media. o.o

    If the Project media tab is really off-screen then you will have to reset the whole program to get it back. Hold down the CTRL+SHIFT key while you start Vegas and it will reset to all of the defaults from the day it was installed.

    WARNING: You will have to set all of your preferences again so if you changed anything in the preferences it will be lost and have to be redone after starting with CTRL+SHIFT.

    I dragged the ‘project media box’ away so I could see the timeline better, and it went off the screen. – There’s your clue. In Vegas whatever was the LAST size of a window, that is what you will now have. Maybe 3 options for you:

    1] Ctrl+Shift on starting vegas to bring back ALL the factory defaults. Easiest but you loose your settings

    2] Look very very closely around the screen you may just discover it lurking just a handful of Pixels wide and high. Roll your cursor over an edge and carefully drag it bigger. I’ve used this but you need to have eagle eyes!

    3] Try changing your screen’s resolution it may just pop into view. Never done it myself, but been told it works. I used 1] or 2] to great effect.

    I now have Vegas Windows Layouts, which bring all my 10 workspace settings back from the grave, but that’s in VegasPro9b.

    Does the Movie Studio version have Window Layouts? (I don’t know I don’t have it). If it does that would be less radical than what I suggested. Try this first. 😉
