Building on what John R. has suggested (loading a few media files at a time): With several hundred media files, this could take some time. Load only the first half of your files – if it works then you know the culprit is in the last half of your files. This would cut down the files to investigate by 1/2. If the second half is problematic, then load the first half of those. If that causes your problem, then you know its in that group of files. Keep loading 1/2 the files at a time and determine whether it the first or second half that contains the file that’s causing the problem. If you have 300 media files you would narrow it down from 300 to 150 to 75 to 36 to 18 to 9 to 5 to 3… Hopefully you get the idea. In about 9 attempts you should be able to narrow the focus. Hopefully this makes sense.

Use Track Motion, changing from Source Alpha to 3D Source Alpha and then add Key Frames, changing the Rotation: Y axis to whatever values you want.

Select the event (either the audio or the video portion) then press the ‘U’ (ungroup) key. This is the keyboard shortcut for Edit>Group>Remove From. Then you can select either the audio or video portion and move/delete independent of the other.

Did you re-select all 200+ pictures before attempting to make the change?

I was having trouble with Quicktime (.mov) files that were generated by several Digital Juice Ready2Go Vegas templates, when used in my Vegas timeline. For my videos, I have several (30+) of the Quicktime video segments on my Vegas timeline (player intro video). After a certain point (number of Quicktime files), Vegas would start acting up with some of the Quicktime segments not showing up right. After posting questions about this on the forum, John Rofrano suggested that I render the Quicktime segments as Sony MXF for my “intermediate” video. I would just replace each Quicktime segment produced by Digital Juice, with the Vegas rendered MXF segment. This has completely resolved the issue with Quicktime files for me. Not sure if it will help you, but just thought I’d make you aware of it.

In the bottom of the video preview window, the Frame: xx is displayed. The frame number will increment as the video is being encoded. See if you keep freezing up on the same frame number (at 43%). This may give you a clue as to what/where the problem area is. As an example, I have found the use of the Sony Vegas FX “Light Rays” has caused a problem if the FX “Strength” setting goes to 100%. Just moving that down to 99% eliminated the problem.

Building on what John Rofrano said, attached is a simple Vegas Pro 10 file with 4 “camera” views created with Generated Media – Solid Colors. It demonstrates exactly what John is talking about.
Here is the link to the file:

If you right-click on a track header (on the left side of the timeline), you can select Add Audio Track or Add Video Track and it will insert the audio or video track just above the track you right-clicked on, instead of at the top or bottom of all the current tracks.

Do you know how to zoom in on the keyframe timeline? I’ve had it happen for me in the past that while working on a keyframe, I inadvertently created a new one that is very close to the original. If you are too zoomed out on the keyframe timeline, it may not be visible (they may appear as a single keyframe marker).
The other thing to double-check is that there is not another keyframe further (sometimes MUCH) down the timeline that is a little different, and as the event progresses, will cause this slow movement.

I’m not at home (where my Vegas machine is), but I believe the mxf.sfl file is created by Vegas when rendering but is NOT the output file you want. If I’m not mistaken, that is the file that Vegas uses to display the audio waveforms for your video.
You didn’t give a lot of info on what type of file(s) you are trying to render or what format you are trying to render them to. One thing to watch out for: Your rendered output file will go into the folder you last rendered into, unless you specify otherwise. This may be important if you are rending output to (what you think is your current folder), when it’s actually going to the “last used” folder. As an example: I keep all my given files for a project in a top level folder with the year and project name (i.e. 2008 Austin Lake). If I last rendered a file to that folder (because that’s what I was working on), then the next time when I start a new project folder (say 2014 Varsity Football) and render output, it will go into the Austin Lake 2008 folder rather than the folder I am now working in (Varsity Football 2014). You must make sure and navigate to the EXACT location you want your output put into when you give the output file its file name, or Vegas will output it to the folder last used. I don’t know if that’s what’s happening here or not (not enough detail given).
I understand your frustration – for anyone to be able to help you, give as much detailed info as possible including what you are trying to do, and what you are/are not getting.
