Thanks for the response!
I’m using the script that came with Vegas 6 or 7 – 7 I think:

import System.Windows.Forms;
import Sony.Vegas;

// This is the full name of the plug-in associated with the effects
// you want to remove.
var plugInName = “Sony Timecode”;

try {
var mediaEnum = new Enumerator(Vegas.Project.MediaPool);
while (!mediaEnum.atEnd()) {
var media = mediaEnum.item();
var effectsEnum = new Enumerator(media.Effects);
while (!effectsEnum.atEnd()) {
var effect = effectsEnum.item();
if (plugInName == effect.PlugIn.Name) {
media.Effects.Remove(effect);
}
effectsEnum.moveNext();
}
mediaEnum.moveNext();
}
} catch (e) {
MessageBox.Show(e);

The filter was applied to individual clips on the timeline.
We are both using the English version. The project was started by the client in V7 – I began working on it in V8.

I get it – Cntrl-Click and drag to add to the group.

If you are using Vegas 6 or higher, just start a new project and drag the *.veg files onto your timeline as if they were video files. They will be treated just like other media. Then you can put them in order and render out your final movie.

I guess I’m living in the old days! I know matrox had to create 2 separate files to have alphas in an avi. What avi codecs can handle alphas?

The out of sync is really there. When I “render (Shift/B)” on the timeline it appears pretty close. But when I render out a file, the sync gets worse and worse as time goes on. Even if I render a separate wav file, the problem is there. Here is the odd thing, if I render a wav file of the source mpg, and try to lock it to the video, the waveforms appear to line up. When I zoom in past a certain point, the waveforms on the mpg audio shift to the right – showing they are really out of sync. And when I play both audios, you can hear the separation very plainly. I havent run into this before, but I haven’t edited with mpgs much either.

I ended up having to render wavs of all the source files, and trying to match them to the edited material. I thought I could save the time I had already spent, but it took awhile to resync. It may have been just as fast to lock the wav and mpgs first and then re-edit!

AVI files have no alpha channel (transparency). You will need to render to Quicktime if you need a single file with an alpha channel.

The only way to change all the settings in through a script.

No the problem isn’t with the images, I ended up running them through combustion to generate NTSC sized images. I just hope to find another answer, as this will increase the workflow and time.

Thanks! I stumbled on it after your last post. I was looking for a Matrox listing where the “Windows Classic” was listed. It doesn’t seem to work on my system however. I have the Mykernos card installed, as well. I think that is what is messing things up.

When I look under the audio device tab, I don’t see digisuite listed. What do I select?

That is what I was using, and I have the script – VERY handy. Prior to changing that, the black is showing top & bottom on the preview window, after the preview appears correct. But when I render, that is when the black shows up on the left & right, even though the preview – at all settings (preview, best, etc) shows correct. I checked teh project settings, and the render settings, and they are also correct. I have not noticed this problem before. Could it be related to release D?
