I use a dialogue notch filter in these cases. It is set up in the equalizer with a notch centered at about 2500hz and 1000-1500hz wide. That filter is applied to the music to keep it from stomping on the voices.

Assuming that Photoshop is generating the letters via typing with normal fonts, boost the resolution (ppi) dramatically. Once the text is complete at the high resolution, rasterize the text layer. After rasterization is complete, use image resize to bring the resolution back down to 300ppi.

My method for setting up multicam is to duplicate the video track for each camera. I, for convenience, group these at the top of the timeline, and mute the original video tracks. I select the duplicate video tracks, and then create the multicam track. The original video and audio tracks are left alone, and I can continue to use these as I wish. If the audio was synched properly to start with, it will stay that way.

It is quite easy to spot the problem and prove your case in Vegas Pro, and I suspect your version of Vegas can do the same. Simply expand the vertical size of the audio track by dragging its lower edge. Position the time line cursor near a pop or click that was not present before the split. Then expand the detail of the time line until you see the audio waveform at the sample level. You will then see what is causing the pop or click.
Find the same spot on the original audio, and compare the two. If there is a difference in the wave form then you will have proven your case, and you can post a picture of the before and after wave form. You will, of course, need to show that the surrounding area of the waveform is identical to demonstrate that you have the same spot.

Sorry, but that simply doesn’t make sense unless the audio originally contained the pops and clicks. I am not aware of any audio format where the downstream audio is affected by an upstream event.

This problem is NOT caused by Sony Vegas. It is caused by you. If you do not pick exactly the right spot to “cut, copy, and paste” audio, you will produce the sounds that you describe as popping and clicking.
One way to reduce or disguise such effects is to merge the audio segements via an overlap. When you do this, Vegas will normally fade the two audio segments together. One will fade down while the other fades up. When I say this, I am assuming that you have not turned off this fade option.

I also use a resolution which about twice the size of the project’s resolution. However, I do not generally use the match aspect control. Instead, I crop all still images to the desired size in Photoshop. Photoshop’s crop tool can be set to a specific pixel size in both the horizontal and vertical dimension. That means that I can choose the crop which I desire, and deliver a cropped image to Vegas which will exactly match the project size. It does take a bit of experimentation to find the exact pixel size needed. If Photoshop is too expensive, Photoshop Elements has the same cropping ability.
I also save the cropped images as PNGs since Vegas handles PNGs without much effort.

My guess is that you are down to two choices;
reinstall Windows from scratch
buy a new computer
It is unfortunate that you do not have the original disks for all of your programs. That can get expensive. We’ve probably all been there in one way or another. All you can do is make sure that you don’t lose these things in the future.

Are you asking how to export from FCP?

I never burn at more than 4x. I prefer the slowest possible speed.
I also recently detected read errors on my favorite burner. I was a bit shocked since there were no error messages, and am wondering if it placed similar errors on the DVDs which were burned by it in the last few months. A new burner corrected the problem.
I detected the problem while “ripping” audio tracks from CDs. Sound Forge was producing clicks and static on material from brand new CDs. I found long square waves in the locations where the spurious noise was located. The same CD, when processed on another drive, produced pristine audio.
BTW, it certainly would be nice if DVDA would verify a disk after it is written. That would detect a problematic burner.
