Steve,

This might (or might not) be worth a try, I have had great success with VP support on two occasions, but just give them a call.

The first time they called me back quickly, and the second time they put me through to a tech guy, got my problem solved on the phone.

I complain about Vegas crashing more than most, because I spent bucks on a computer specifically for Vegas, but they helped solve my issue quickly.

I realize this is not the same as trying to report a bug. Good luck.

Go into the corresponding directories on your computer and delete any thumbnail files. That has worked for me, per Sony Vegas support.

C:\Users\”you”\AppData\Local\Sony\Vegas Pro\12.0

Oh. I had installed fonts that were not visible in previous versions.

They “appeared” in V12.

Michael,

If you ever want to automate the process, check out https://www.3playmedia.com/

I’ve used them, the service is great and the prices are fair.

Nigel, thanks for the tip. I use Ultimate S Pro for all sorts of other stuff, but have never tried the multicamera tool on it. I’ll give it a whirl, sounds like it might save some time.

Dallas,

If I read your question correctly, consider this solution:
After you have edited your tracks via the Multicamera tool and then expanded them back to three separate tracks, if you want to change the active take, right click on that take, click Properties, and either Mute or Unmute that selection by using the check box.

In Multicamera mode, Vegas uses the Split and Mute functions to determine which is the active video.

I edit this way often when I need to change from one camera to another for a particular shot. It is quick and easy.

Thanks Mike, just what I was looking for, within price range too.

I’m not the same Mike but I’ll take a stab at answering your questions. There are two inexpensive recorders to consider, the Zoom H2n and the Zoom H4n. Prices are $180 and $270 respectively at B&H. The H4n is a stereo recorder while the H2n is a surround sound recorder.
Windscreens and remote control units are highly recommended options as is a large SD card. You want to record to WAV, not MP3 so the bigger the card, the longer you can record.

Mike, sounds like that makes a good joke, and an interesting story.

This is a good thread, I’ve been wondering about a setup to record “outdoor” sounds. I live on a property with pasture and woods, and have wanted to record all the sounds, from critters to horses, to birds.

Anyone able to recommend a system that records 360 degrees? Taking it to a (maybe) ridiculous level, one day I would like to have a system that I can control remotely, turning it on in the early morning, with no one around to disturb, to let it pick up the wake up call nature offers every morning.

Mike,

I’m still waiting to hear the story behind the titanium plate in your head.

John,

I’m looking for training on Ultimate S Pro Quad-CAM. Did that get uploaded to You Tube? If so, can you provide the link? I have not been able to locate it, and would like some training in this specific area.

Thanks,
