    Hello,

    I have been looking for at least an hour how to fix this problem of mine. I can’t edit my generated media in sony vegas. I tried to reset it to factory defaults and it still does not work at all. I click the green button and nothing happens at all. When I drag n drop generated media into my timeline it just pops up on default settings no matter what. My toolbar is also not locked so I know thats not it. I can’t figure out what in the world is going on its frustrating the living day out of me.

    Sounds like you’ve moved the dialog box off the screen. It’s usually hidden underneath the “start” bar when this happens. Set the start bar to minimize, find that window, and drag it back to the middle of the screen. If that doesn’t work, you can try changing screen resolutions.

    Thanks for the reply and that was the problem, I fixed it awhile ago. However, I didn’t think my post went through so I didn’t come back to clarify that. Man it was bugging the living hell out of me. I tried to reset all things to default and change my resolution, but none of that worked so I had to move my start bar to the side. I would like to know what caused it though because I never directly moved the box from were it pops up on default. It goes perfectly with how I set up all my boxes.

    This saved my life. Thank you. I was editing a short film, and was on the very last credit and lost my generated media edit window.

    I didn’t know what I was going to do, because there was no way to finish the credits, and a new install would mean a total re edit and countless hours of work down the drain.

    Thanks.

    Please please please explain in more detail! This is becoming a huge problem for me. What “start bar” are you talking about? The taskbar? My taskbar is locked, if that helps at all. How do I minimize the start bar? Where is that option? Please respond, I have to meet a deadline

    Um…hi?

    I know the original post is like…2 years old, but I’m having the same problem with my own Sony Vegas.

    It’s going to sound totally noob, but how do you minimize the start bar?

    And if Vegas closed before I could do anything to try and fix the problem, will the generated media box still be hidden under the start bar?

    Sorry for the annoying questions ._.

    In XP, you right-click a blank area, choose properties, and check the “auto hide” box. After you’re done, go through the same process to turn off “auto hide”.

    I’m having a problem with my generated media… the rest of the video scales the screen correctly, but for some reason, my noise texture REFUSES to scale left and right beyond a certain point. It’s frusrating me, ’cause I’ve tried the Aspect ratio unlock, I’ve tried the event pan/crop tab… I have no idea what to do. It’s the only thing left in my video to fix. :/ Help?

    Open Pan/Crop for that generated media, right-click the displayed image, and choose “Match Output Aspect”.

    Hi, this actually didn’t work. For future reference, I found that adjusting the box under the Track Motion section allowed me to increase the size of the generated media so it fit on the screen.
