So how do you roll back to 7.0d without completely uninstalling Vegas then re-installing?

It seems to work if I render to AVI, then PTT using the capture utility.

The other item I noticed is the error message seems to come up after the rendering because there’s a render line above the timeline. So it’s somethng between rendering and actially initiating my GV-D1000 deck

Gary, I sent you an email for security reasons to answer your post.

Thanks much Gary
I printed out your reply and will try it on a test timeline. For now I got this project finished. All I need to do for the East Bound run is bring up another instance of Vegas, get my E/B video up and copy / past from the west bound project.

I’m curious to see how my pan/crop sw numbers copy. They should be okay as they’re event and not track. Which is a main reason I’m not sure I want to use the track motion for this particular project.

Using the track motion, wouldn’t I have to lay them all out again in the new project?

Thanks Gary
I didn’t realize that. I’ll have to try it. So if I insert a hold keyframe I can set different events on that timeline to move seperate of any other? IS this a new feature of V6-7? If I remember correctly it didn’t work that way in 5.

I’m an engineer on the Elgin Line, the old Milwaukee Rd. But I do the video on all the Metra lines. We need to get together sometime Ralph.

Hi, Thanks
Gary, I thought of that but they’re not in the same place all the time and using track motion the way I understand it, if I moved one, they’d all move.

Ed. Well almost! hehehe. I missed that one! What I wound up doing was to make a transparent background in Photoshop at 655 X 480. In the center of that I made my 27 X 17 pixel black box. Then I brought it into Vegas and was able to work with it using Pan/Crop, then generated media to put my numbers inside that box. Worked out really coool but there’s hundreds of boxes! ugh!

That guy who suggest we put track switch numbers on the video? I’d like to *(&^%$#$%%^^ oh well! As if I didn’t have enough to do labeling stations, mile posts, streets and signals! 😉

Thanks for getting my mind working again.

PS: will be retiring from the railroad August 3rd and going into my video business full time.

Yea, I saw that one. Vegas users are number 3 behind Premiere and Final Cut.

I’m using XP Home on my editing machine with absolutely no problems at all. Got XP Pro on my internet machine because I built it and had to buy the operating system myself.

2000, XP Home or Pro, all good. Not hearing good things about Vista though.

I’ve also read many times that you shouldn’t use the Default template in DVD-Ax. Better to use the NTSC/PAL DVDA template.

When I first started in Vegas/DVDA I used that default template and got really lousy renders.

Thanks much Mike

I never thought of just runing the old VHS tapes directly to a DVD recorder with a hardware encoder.

Going to need one anyway as I’m getting into legal video work. If I pass the written test May 5th! 😉
