Unwanted repeats in AVCHD edits/render
I’m a beginner with editing. On a couple of projects I have noticed that random portions of my project will repeat…sometimes right after it just ran or, most often, it will show up again somewhere within the project where I DID NOT put it! No clue what I am doinf to cause this….any suggestions?

Unfortunetly it is probably the AVCHD files. Especially if they are AVCCAM files from Panasonic. I am also having many of those issues with my AVCCAM files. Make sure you have 8.1 and that you quickly upgrade to 9.0. 9.0 should fix most of the bugs associated with the AVCHD (hopefully).
You can always edit the files using a different codec, this would solve all the problems, but it will add another step to the workflow, which ironically, is the step AVCHD is supposed to get rid of.

Richard,
You can work around the issues you are having (until 9.0 comes out).When files start to get mixed up and corrupted, save the project as a VEG file, close Vegas and re-open the VEG file. That usually restores those files, its a pain, but it works.Vegas has trouble seeing AVCHD files and its random when it decides to go blind!

The default behavior for events is that they loop. So if you extend an event out past the end of the media, it will start playing the media back from the beginning. This might be happening to you.
If you are finding events that play where you don’t want them, this is usually caused by keeping Ripple Edit turned on. Check so see if it is enabled. You should keep ripple edit off until you really need it. Otherwise it will shift events on the timeline when you might not want it to (without realizing that it’s happening).
