Activity Forums VEGAS Pro Question about closed-caption reading

  • Question about closed-caption reading

    Posted by Scott Clark on June 1, 2011 at 10:15 pm

    Hi all, I have what is probably a silly question.. I have noticed since upgrading from Pro 9 to 10 that Vegas is now automatically “reading” closed captioning information from some files when I bring them in, and it is a tremendously slow (and for my purposes, entirely unnecessary) process. Is there a setting to tell Vegas not to do this or to just ignore that information?

    Thanks,
    Scott

    Above the PREVIEW MONITOR window you will see a GRID selection with a dropdown menu. Un-select closed captions.

    The dropdown menu is actually called OVERLAYS.

    Oh I may be misunderstanding you.. does this stop Vegas from reading the caption info from the file?

    My problem is that Vegas is telling me it is reading closed captioning from files.. it shows the process in the same place it shows “building peaks” and gives me a percentage.

    I don’t typically have any overlays turned on so I’m not sure if this is the same thing.

    To be clear, here is a picture of what I’m referring to (see lower left corner):

    There should be a CANCEL button in the very lower left hand corner. Just click it and it should halt the import.

    I understand, Larry, that’s what I’ve been doing. For a variety of reasons, however, I would prefer Vegas not try to do this in the first place– that’s what I’m wondering about, if there’s a setting I can change to accomplish this.

    I checked into that and I can’t find a setting that would kill this feature. Seems short sighted that they wouldn’t give the user that option.

    “Now that we have it, how do you turn it off!”

    Hahahaha, well said. I kinda got the feeling it was like that, but I wanted to make sure I wasn’t just missing something obvious. =)
