unable to paste event attributes
I have done this numerous times before in vegas 4, I am now using version 7 and I’m pretty sure I have done it in 7 too, but when I copy an event that I have changed with the brightness controls, then go to the next event I want to look the same and right click, the “paste event attribures” button is greyed out and is not available. Any ideas?

I just tried it and it works for me.
Are you sure you did a “right-click – copy”?
If that doesn’t work, try either Ctrl-C on the first clip or use the Copy icon in the tool bar. -
i believe it will be necessary for you to delete your vegas preference file.

Thanks for the response. I have tried what you suggested several times Mike and it still doesn’t work. I went back to Vegas 4 and it works fine. CMALLA: what do you mean by deleting my preferences file? Thanks.

He probably meant resetting all your prefs.
To do this, hold Ctrl-shift while opening Vegas.
Be advised that this will reset everything, including any custom presets and templates you’ve created. -
Thanks, I’ll give that a try.

When I started Vegas as you suggested it asked if I want to reset all vegas preferences to default values…..I said yes. It also has a check box for “delete all cached application data” which I did not check as I wasn’t sure … in any event it still won’t paste attributes. Should I have checked the box?

Can you see the effect on the original event? I’m wondering if it’s actually pasting but you can’t see the effect because “Bypass Effects” is turned on?

Hmmm.Thanks for the thought Edward, I’ll check that out but I believe it does show in the original … it’s brighter… and that is what I’m trying to paste to the next event(s) so they will look alike. I had a question for you. Ihave seen some of the videos you link to sometimes and they are really clear and load fast… I have a 3 minute mpg1 video I’m editing to a minute or so for a guys web site, but whenever I render it to mpeg again the file is so large it takes a while to download. I dont think people will want to wait on his site that long but when I try to render it to mov it looks horrible. What is the best way to do this? Maybe I don’t have the correct settings? Thanks.

For the web, I render to WMV. Start with the 1 Meg preset and go up or down from there.
