Hi Paul
Yes I want to change the range of the sequence in order to save disc space.
The final video will be in 3 sizes: 1080p, 720p and 480p.
So the source frames should be at 1920 x 1080 pixels, they should not be at a lower size and then upscaled by Vegas.
The source frames are rendered from a 3D software.
The source frames are targa images.
The source frames should not be compressed, or if they are compressed, it should be a lossless compression. Both PNG and Targa offer lossless compression. I have not tested which format would occupy the less hard drive space, it’s something I should try for my next renderings.

Hi!
Heheh, sorry for the typo, of course I’m not using Vegas 1, but Vegas 11 🙂
My concern is to free my hard drive and make some free space. With all these very big frames I have (6.5Mb each), I want to archive the entire sequence and leave on the hard drive only what is used in Vegas.
So far, I have found 3 ways to do this, but none of them are satisfactory:

1) right click on the media in “Project Media” > replace > choose the same sequence with a start and end frame as set in the timeline. The problem with this method is that, if in the timeline, the sequence wasn’t starting by frame 1, “replace” will offset the timeline’s start frame.

2)”drop it on your timeline and cut off 150 frames”. Problem: if I then delete the 150 frames from my hard drive, on the next file opening, Vegas will ask me where are the missing 150 frames.

3) “open it in trimmer select 50 frames and create subclip”. Problem: I can’t delete the “master clip” and its unnecessary frames on the hard drive.

So far, the best solution is N°1, then delete the clip from the timeline and drag it again from the Project Media window to the timeline, then set it up again.
But I think Sony should add a more direct way to do that.

Thank you, I think the last solution you suggested is the one that I would like to use.
But in the DVD Architect 3.0 virtual remote, there is no “title menu” and “root menu” buttons, only 1 “menu button”.
