sony vegas 9 timeline problem

[Elliot Perkins]

I have taken a screenshot of what is happening

1. The video is playing
2. I press “s” to make a cut
3. It cuts where the “black” circle is not at the “white” circle which is the the current time.

its like after I make the first cut, the “where you were line” becomes the active line from then on, and any further cuts happen at the “where you were line” from then on.

Have you tried re-installing Vegas yet?

[Elliot Perkins]

yes i have reinstalled and updated to 9b and im still getting the same problem.

All I can say is that there’s something very strange going on with your system as no one who’s replied so far can reproduce your problem.
I just tried it again doing everything you’re having troubles with and had no problems making a split where I wanted.

so theres no reason why the “where you were line” would ever become the place where cuts happen only the “where you are line” or current time

1 vegas cuts correctly on the very first cut.
2 then when i go to delete a section
3. then play again and press “s” to cut, it cuts at the “where you were line” not at the current time.

Has anyone got to the solution to this issue? I would have expected it to be just a question of a setting? The issue I’m having on pro 9 appears to be very similar to previous posts above – when I’ve paused on the time line and then restart a black line is left where I had paused. When I stop further along the timeline the cursor goes back to my previous pause position. How can I stop the cursor going back. I’m unable to acurately trim and adjust the clips the way things are.
