I’ve had the same problem with Pro 8. I just turn off the camera, shutdown Vegas, and restart Vegas. I think once I had to restart my computer.

I’m not worried about it. Just make sure you save your work on external drives.

Ron,

100mb is the max on those sites, I think? I’ve never rendered to that level in Pro before, but what I do is load my AVI into a linear program like Windows Move Maker, and when I save I auto set to 100mb. You might lose a little aspect ratio, though. Test a 30 second clip first.

Hope this helps,

Since I can crop better in a separate program, I wonder, would it be possible to save them on a black background and then import them as a gif file to retain the resolution? Will Sony Vegas Pro handle gifs?

Sorry I took up space on the post. Problem solved. I over compensated on the shutter speed.

Thanks George. Advice well taken. I’m thinking at this point I can still edit the film, just can’t render it yet. I’ve dedicated my “My Book” to the documentary I’m working on, so it’s holding a lot of files. One thing I’ve done right is record all my FX settings on paper. That’s one trick I learned from hanging around old school studio engineers when I worked on Music Row.

I understand that Vegas only organizes the files you load. With that said, in your opinion or anyone’s opinion, would it be okay to keep editing the the documentary in my current drive, purchase another My Book, have the new drive reformatted in the time being and the files on the drive I’m currently working on transferred over to new reformatted drive? Or, do you think that would cause a compatibility problem with files not being recognized?

Big question I know. Thanks for your time.

Don, I’m using a Mybook, and it is FAT32 as far as I can tell. I noticed that is clocking out at 3.99GB.

I have no idea how to reformat.

Any advice?
