  • Vegas 9c dropping events

    Hi
    I have tried Vegas 9c but have had problems with still pictures (events) going missing from the timeline and subsequently missing after rendering.
    These still pictures (events) are in between various video events.
    I have tried everything to recover them including moving the files to another drive in case there was and problem with Vegas accessing them but that did not help.
    I also discovered that if I did get the picture to stay on the timeline a different picture would dissapear?
    After further investigation I found that if i go and use the “event crop resize” function it ( the picture) disapears at certain sizes and re appears at different sizes ?
    I eventually gave up in frustration and went back to Vegas 9 and the same project with exactly the same event worked perfect first time.
    Does any one know there is a problem with 9c ?

    This was an issue in an earlier version that was supposedly fixed.
    Are these very large images (from a pixel size point of view)?
    If so, try resizing them before importing.
    If they’re JPEG images, try converting them to PNG format and see if that helps.
    If none of this works, send an email to Sony Tech Support outlining your problems.

    I had this problem too. The only solution I found that worked best for me was saving the project under two different names. This way all the media and events would stay the same.

    Under the first project file I deleted all the files(pics) that kept disappearing when I rendered. I then rendered the video track as an HD avi file (uncompressed).

    Next, I opened the second project file and deleted all the events that actually rendered in my first project. This left only the events that never rendered. I then import my HD avi file onto a timeline and then rendered the new complete file. Granted, its not ideal, but it’s not any worse than transcoding.

    My biggest problem is that this version of Vegas has way too many bugs and I cannot render mp4 files for blu-ray.
