What did you use to convert the Intro, and what was changed by your conversion? What file format did you convert it to?
-
How are you trying to put this file into your project? Are you using “File -> Import -> Media”, “File -> Open”, or some other command in Vegas?

Not within Vegas. I would try Google or Youtube if I had questions on a specific format. I never cease to be amazed at one can find on the internet.

Your second option, a system of links between segments of the video, is the only method that I know of. DVD Architect can easily support this approach because you can specify the end point destination for every clip in your video, and for every option in a menu.

I never, ever trust my data to one hard drive. I always maintain backups of my files on a second hard drive. My thought is that one hard drive may fail at any time, but the probability of two failing at exactly the same time is too low to justify the cost of a third backup copy. In addition, the backup drives are not online all day long, so their useful lives will be longer than the active drives.
It is true that paper has great longevity, but that doesn’t help much for preserving video and audio.

Did you have a loop region set up, and opted to render only the loop region? That is what it sounds like. In the “render as” window, unclick the “render loop region only” option.

I think that the future, for now, is the hard drive. It will store any and all projects so that they can be rendered to new technology standards as those emerge. It will continue to be understood by your computer even after your favorite technology has faded away, and it will be able to stream as long as you need that technology. You can update the media and migrate material so that you will always be able to produce your story in the latest format, and it will enable you to move your data to new storage mediums so that you will always be able to support the latest technology.

I think you need to work a bit harder to explain what you are trying to do. For example, I do not understand what you are saying here: “one of the clip loose 1 image on 2 when put into vegas”. If I cannot uderstand your question, I cannot answer it.
That said, you probably Should try to keep all of your video consistent when you bare trying to learn how to use Vegas. For example, trying to mix frame rates or using variable framerates is not a good idea for a beginning Vegas project. The same is true for using “hotfix” to try to “fix” your video. The Vegas forum is probably not a good choice for questions about “hotfix” especially why it does not work when used with Vegas.
My suggestion is to keep it simple. Shoot your video with consistent settings that you know will work in Vegas. Learn how to use Vegas to produce the finished product you want. When you can do this, move one step at a time towards more complicated projects, and allow enough time to learn the techniques needed to complete each project before moving on to the next step in your learning process.

I’m sure we would all like this. It would make life a LOT simpler. However, the reality is that there is no single standard for how things ought to be in the video world. True replication of a single “look” would require the calibration of each device to a single standard. However, manufacturers usually skew the settings on their device so that their device looks better than everyone else’s device. Some will push brightness, others will push saturation, and so, and so on. The best that I think you can do is to select a target device, and make your video look as good as you can on that device. Be aware, that other devices will most likely have a very different “look”, and it is simply not possible in a world without a standard to make all devices look the same.

If it is not new, please point us to existing products that can do this. For my money, I have not seen a product at a reasonable pricing level that can do this. I can envision a very expensive, commercial product that can do this sort of thing. Is there an Apple product that can do this? The result certainly looks very impressive to me, and the possibilities for using it seem to multiply as I think about it.
