For the Pro card it may, see this link for compatible MB for the shuttle, main difference is it need a USB 3 port. I’d get one BM states is compatible.

Adding effects that change every pixel like color correction, rendering to certain formats like wmv add to render time alot.

Yes. other than the white flash on the screen, it’s like there’s no power. I even measured the power adapter. I think the bad tape got jammed while being pulled into the camer and blew the fuse. Bummer huh?

Yes. Just lower the opacity fader on that trck and you can see through it to make your mask better. The fader is on the left in the tracks header.

Cool John. Another great tip. Thanks

Thanks for your responses guys. I did try the reset button, even after removing power for a few minutes and still no luck. I found someone with the exact problem on another forum and they had to have Sony replace a fuse. When I get this back from Sony, it’s component out to my Intensity Shuttle from now on. I won’t be buying any tape based cameras anymore as my GL1 had a similar problem accepting tapes. Both cameras hardly ever had tapes in them either. I usualy record straight to my hard drive.
I also tried posting a link to the forum showing the same problem and it was rejected by this forum. Come on Creativecow, We’re just looking for help here. Not trying to get people to switch forums.
For the first time I have to say “Boo” instead of moo to the Cow.

I contacted Sony and I guess I gotta send it in. This is the second tape based camcorder that has had a problem with tapes. My Canon GL1 and this HVR-A1. Both cameras hardly ever had tapes in them as I mostly capture direct to my hard drive so it can’t be worn tape handling mechanics. I believe I am done with tape based cameras. When I get this one back from repair, it’s component in thru my Intensity Shuttle from now on. -
It sounds like Vegas has a problem with one of the files in the timeline. I would put one video on it, render to m2t, if that works put one of the jpgs on it, drag it out to a few minutes and see if that works. We need to determine if it’s a file conflict or a problem with Vegas. Can you render to other formats?

What kind of files are you using? Do you by chance have a large still image about 5% into the project? I would try removing the still images from the whole project and doing a test render. If it works, Vegas has a problem with your pictures. you may be able to start a new project and insert each pic, set the preview window quality to best/full and clicking the floppy disc icon in the preview window to save it as a jpeg that will defenetly work in Vegas. Also what format videos are you putting on the timeline and what format are you rendering too?
We sence your frustration so give us a chance to help before you dump Vegas. I have been using it for many years and have had VERY little problems with it. -
Anything like a dual core or slower will hve a very slow preview framerate. A quad core or an i7 will work great.
