  • Sony Vegas Movie Studio HD Platinum- Missing Track List

    Posted by Tom Poolton on December 22, 2015 at 12:41 pm

    I have successfully completed a number of projects in the past, but I must have pressed a wrong key during my current project, as the Track List, and Time Display – normally shown to the extreme left on my screen , has completely disappeared !
    I have tried various ‘re-settings’, without any success.
    Even when I come out of Vegas Studio, and then start it up again, the Track List is still missing – before opening up ANY projects !
    My current project was meant to be a surprise for my wife, for Xmas – please help !!

    Try View – Window Layouts – Default Layout

    Or try to hover the mouse pointer over the left hand edge of the timeline and see if it turns into these: <-II->

    If it does, then just drag to the right to ‘reveal’ the track header area.

    Thanks, but I’ve tried that several times, with no luck. I’ve even tried the ‘options, Preferences, etc ‘ route – but, again, no luck.

    Thanks – yes it does show that ‘sign’, but nothing happens when I try to drag it to the right. Still puzzling over it, and nothing in m y booklet from Sony – or on their ‘Help’ at the top of the screen.

    Try resetting.

    Close the program. Now press CTRL+SHIFT while double-clicking on the program’s icon to launch it. Continue to hold the CTRL & SHIFT keys until the program is fully up and loaded.
    In newer programs, you will see a window that asks “Do you want to reset all preferences to default values?” Place a checkmark next to “Delete all cached application data” and then click Yes.

    (You could also try double-clicking where you see the “sign” instead of holding down the left mouse button and dragging. OR Shift+F11)

    You are brilliant !
    The ‘double-click’ worked just fine – everything back now – and I should be able to complete my project in time for ‘xmas gift’ to my wife ( about her late parents ). I could not find any reference to this problem on Sony’s ‘Help’ screens – thanks so much.

    Nice to read that at least that worked.
    From online Help:
    The track list, timeline, and window docking area sections can be sized to your preferences by dragging the dividers between them or by using F11:
    F11 minimizes and restores the window docking area.
    Shift+F11 minimizes and restores the track list.
    Ctrl+F11 maximizes and restores the timeline vertically and horizontally (window docking area and track list will be hidden).

    I’ve made a note of those instructions, in case I need them in the future.
    Thanks again for your help.
