  • Sony Vegas Pro 12 annoying preview window problem

    Hi I came here looking for with a really annoying trouble I’m having with Vegas. I’m trying to work on a project for fun and it’s hard to describe but the preview window is all messed up. I have 2 clips right next to each other and I put the cursors on the second clip on the time line and the first clip is shown until a few second into the 2nd clip, it does the same thing to when there’s no clip instead of showing black it shows the same the clip when the cursor isn’t on the clip at all and I have no idea how to fix it, I’ve searched the net, found absolutely nothing, has anyone ever had this problem and know how to fix it? I’ve messed around with everything I can think of, I turned off GUI Acceleration of video processing etc… I mostly do AMVs for fun so if I’m trying to line up a clip with a part of the song, it’s really hard to edit something right, like line up a clip with one part of a song and the next clip with another part when I can see the clip I’m working on when I should. It’s really annoying is there a patch or mod that fixes this. Or do I have a one of a kind unfixable problem. Here are some screen shots I took

    Sometimes it can appear as not that bad but other times it’s more noticeable, depending on what I’m working on, sometimes I work on lip-syncing the characters mouths with the song using a method that involves taking screenshots of certain mouth frames and lining them up with certain syllables and with this problem it makes it near impossible to do right.

    Your screen grabs are shots of the timeline, not the preview window.

    Am I missing something here?

    How is the source material encoded? Is it camera footage or screen capture, or something else? I can’t tell from your screen grab; the resolution is too small. FYI you can upload images directly to the Cow; no need for PhotoBucket. Click the little camera icon in above the compose window.

    Sorry about the delay in my reply.

    Looking at your new screen shots, it appears that the event split (BTW, the term in event, not clip) is not on a frame boundary.

    Try setting Vegas to show Unquantized frames. If it shows that the boundary is unquantized, you might need to re-split the event on a quantized boundary.

    It seemed to work when I tried it with one of them, but I’ll probably have to restart the project so I can realign the clips properly. Thanks
