YES!! Focus on things that work. It sounds like the combination over the overlapped audio clip are clipping, meaning the two together are to loud and mix to over 1 volt (peek to peek). That’s the limit of how loud you can record audio on a Computer workstation without squaring out the waveform, Your best off recording all instruments so they peak between 4 and 6 Db You can always normalize without clipping and get good results. If you have of bunch of squared off waveforms, You have unusable audio in my honest opinion.

If some footage will load into Vegas and some won’t, Use Mediainfo or GSPOT to analyze your file formats. The ones that do work, and don’t, will show a different codec most likely. Whatever you do, don’t install any codec packs as they can change some good Vegas working ones with ones that don’t. This codec topic has been brought up by many respected forum leaders over the years. You can try system a restore to a time when you liked what worked in Vegas, or you can see what works now and use the info from mediainfo or GSPOT to find the missing codec.
You can find GSPOT 2.70 here,https://www.videohelp.com/software/GSpot
and Mediainfo here,

GSpot will run as a portable if you keep it in the extracted folder with the other files but Mediainfo needs to be installed.
I have been making an Image backup anytime my PC has a new program and runs great, even if I later find other problems due to it. This gives you the option to go back to anytime when it worked the best, and start from there again. Hard drive space is so cheap now days. Windows 7 names them all Windows System Image, so I rename it to WSI xx/xx/xx what worked. Then rename it Windows System Image when I want to restore from it as that is what the rescue disc will look for. Hope this helps, Danny Hays Happy Halloween everybody!

I finally got around to experimenting with using Sonar to make a music score for a video. This thread got me intrigued.
I tried sonar 7 but found many limitations, like it only imports AVIs and it’s very sluggish and has sync problems with its own audio. Barely or not usable IMHO. Then I tried Sonar X3 and was very happy with my results. It imported a 1080 60p mp4 and played it back perfectly in a floating video view, that also allows us to see the console from that same floating window and mute the audio for the video I imported. I could not see the waveform for it to use to sync though. X3 lets us export as video with some different audio and video parameters but not nearly the options Vegas does.
Sony used to have an audio midi sequencer program I experimented with years ago called Acid. It worked very similar to Sonar but lacked the quality audio effects like the Sonitus effects or virtual instruments like TTS1.
It sure would be nice if Magix added midi sequencing and a decent chromakeyer. I would never need to use another program to make a high quality music video. It would need some serious CPU power to handle all that. Maybe one day,,,,

Cool. All these years I scrolled out and used the arrows. Thanks for your input. 🙂

I have noticed some small changes from an old Vegas Pro 8 file in Vegas Pro 13, like making a video look like a six display video wall with a small gap between each section. When opened in 13, these gaps were not perfect in size like they were when I made them in 8. But with some small adjustments in my track motion settings, I got it back exactly the way it was. I was surprised that track size and position would change when the numbers designating them did not.

FYI, Both those shortcut methods move the cursor different amount of frames depending on how far you’re zoomed in time wise on your timeline. I’m on a small, (less than two minute) project and if I zoom out to fit it all on my timeline, both of those shortcut methods move the cursor by eleven frames. You have to zoom in time wise to move one frame at a time. I don’t know any other method of moving one frame at a time.

Try creating a new project with the same video resolution and framerate as the video clips you’re having this issue with and importing them? Will they import without an error? If not, you have a codec issue.

Have you looked at the Master out channel effects? (see picture) If there’s no effects there or on any busses you’ve created, try muting one audio channel at a time and see if you can find it that way. All audio tracks in Vegas have a noise gate, EQ and compressor by default but their settings are set to not effect the audio until you adjust them. You can also remove these from the audio tracks in case Vegas is experiencing a bug by not disabling. This only happens one this Sony Vegas project, right?

That’s because you’re rendering your project as Windows Media Video. That is not the best format for YouTube either. I get good results using the “Main Concept AVC/AAC template. I gather you are using an HDV camera and video files since your current settings are 1440 x 1080 and pixel aspect ratio is 1.333. Set your render as settings to what I have in this picture and see if you like the results. You can select Progressive with it. Danny

Hi Alec. You are aware you will be capturing DV25 avi files with 4.1.1 color space with that device right? Danny
