Hi Bob

Sounds like you have accidently added “Glint” to the Video Track FX.
If you haven’t turned on FX for the track yet, you will have to do that step first!
I’m guessing this is what is causing the confusion.

1. Press “three dots” in top left corner of track control box, for your Text Track, and select Edit Visible Button Set.
2. To keep things…

Any custom font you install into Windows, will automatically become available in the Font drop down list in VEGAS Pro. Make sure to use this Text Generator only!
Go to Media Generators / Titles & Text
Highlight text you want to change – very important!
Open Text Font drop-down list and select the font

Hi Rich
Thanks for posting this helpful tip.
I had no idea this app existed. I watched his video on YouTube which shows how it works.
Cheers 😀

Hi Otto
If I am understanding you correctly, you have a Windows problem, not a VEGAS Pro problem.
Your screen shot is showing Recently Used Files on your W11 system.
The only way I know of to control that, is in File Explorer Options Windows 11 settings.
Personally I have that setting turned off, otherwise I get an overload of file data showing.

Excellent! Thanks for posting back 😀
There are some very cool tricks you can do, when adding key-frames!

Hi again
I posted in a hurry this morning, and have now revised my solution/s.

There are 2x different VP20 .veg project files for you to look at:
1. Version #1 is the exact same method you created, but with fixed Key-Frames that don’t shift in aspect ratio, as they spin upwards.
2. Version #2 is my simplified method – the same one I explained with…

.veg experiment file

Thanks for .veg file.
It took me a while to work out what was wrong!
The problem is your Event Frame is changing aspect ratio as it moves from one key-frame to the next.
It can get very complicated to explain, so here is the method I recommend.
I have also uploaded a file you can experiment with. When you open my .veg file, substitute image with one…

Hi Neil
The fastest way to solve your problem, is to share your .veg project file. It contains no video or image files, but will show me ALL of your settings.
It sounds like you have multiple problems:
1. Possible mismatch between Project Properties, Events on Timeline and the Render Template frame dimensions you selected.
2. You have also…

Problem with Creation of Markers in the Trimmer Window, has now been FIXED in the new version of VEGAS Pro, VEGAS Pro 23.

There is only one last thing I recommend you try. I think you should do a full program reset for VEGAS Pro. It’s something that needs to be checked off the list. If you don’t know how to do a full program reset, I have instructions here on my…

Yes, I am aware that you have just told me the fonts are present, however, the problem goes a little deeper on some folks computers. Apparently there are different versions of the same fonts. You need to get the really old version installed, then it should be fixed.

You can read about the rabbit hole here, on the official VEGAS Pro forums. Some…

Hi John
There are many different things you could check, but I am going to guess what the actual cause is. This is going to sound weird, but your computer is probably missing some fonts in the Windows Registry. The main font in question is MS Sans Serif 8,10,12,14,18,24.

I posted a solution for this on my own forum…

Hi Dirk
It sounds like the .m2ts videos you are working with, have been recorded with 5.1 Surround Sound Audio. As far as I am aware, there was a bug in VEGAS Pro 16, that made 5.1 Audio look like Stereo on the timeline, unless you manually changed the audio Project Property Settings, before you imported your video. Open Project Properties and…

The only thing left now is I can NOT get the output of Vegas to show in “Video Preview on External Monitor”. I’ve got HDMI out to my smaller work monitor and a second HDMI out to the output monitor, but nothing happens when I select it in Vegas. I’ve tried every option in “Preview Device”, but no go.

Make sure your 2nd preview monitor is connecte…

Copy & Paste is working OK in VEGAS Pro 22 – Build #250 on my Windows 11 machine.
You may have accidentally activated a setting, or something may have become corrupted in the VEGAS Pro settings after the upgrade to VP22. I have personally seen some weird stuff happen after some upgrades. Resetting VP normally fixes this type of thing.

Hi Blaine

This is a follow up message for you.
I can confirm from my own extensive testing and checking with other long time VEGAS Pro users, that the bug you are experiencing is being experienced by all VEGAS Pro 22 users, with the formats you have mentioned.
.mts and .m2ts formats are also affected.
The first appearance of the bug began in VEGAS Pro… Read more

Hi Kelly
It could actually be a Windows 11 Audio configuration problem, which is then causing the problem in VEGAS Pro. If you have connected a USB Microphone, Headphones with microphone, Webcam, Monitor with speakers inbuilt etc… sometimes the default “Playback” device can be auto-selected incorrectly, so that instead of the Audio coming from…

Hi Kelly
Just reading your thread today.
The same problem has been reported on the official VEGAS Pro forum. Apparently it’s a bug that only affects some people. So there is some type of weird combination of things that causes it. I have never experienced this…

Hi Blaine
I just spent a 2 hours investigating your problem and can confirm you have definitely found a bug in VEGAS Pro 22. I own every version of VEGAS Pro, going back to version 9 and have been testing VP 17, 18, 19, 20, 21 & 22. It appears the bug started to creep into the program when VP20 was released.
On my analysis, I don’t think it has…

VEGAS Movie Studio was retired by MAGIX, the new owners of VEGAS Software in 2022 and replaced with a completely different program, that has nothing to do with VEGAS. To continue using a similar software program that won’t require learning from scratch, I recommend upgrading to VEGAS Pro Edit or VEGAS Pro Suite. VEGAS Pro Edit is the full version…

Hi Dave

I have no experience with importing DJI video into VEGAS Pro, however I can guess as to what is causing the problem.

Firstly, which version of VEGAS Pro are you using, because VP has changed a lot over the last couple of years?

A good overview of your problem, has already being discussed on the official VEGAS Pro forums…

This looks like a simply settings problem in VEGAS Pro.
I’m not an expert on this type of thing, but I recommend you ask your question on the official VEGAS Pro forums here. I was casually reading the official forum a few days ago, and read a post about dealing with SLog3. It’s important to set the correct settings, so that the proper colour space…

At the moment I am very busy working on creating my own new tutorials for VEGAS Pro, after a very long absence due to poor health. It is rare for me to reply on the Creative Cow VEGAS Pro forum, because I have my own VEGAS forum at MovieStudioZen.com that keeps me busy. It was shear luck…

I have an old tutorial on my website that shows different ways to adjust extreme brightness.
There is a written tutorial and also a video you can watch. It should be self explanatory.

I can’t remember 100%, but I think an update to Windows 10 broke AVCHD rendering in older versions of Vegas Pro. There is nothing you can do to fix this problem.

I recommend rendering to MAGIX AVC/AAC instead!

Go to View / Window Layouts / Default Layout – this should restore to the default layout.

If that does not work, I recommend a full program reset.
Hold CTRL + Shift keys and double-click program icon to launch program.
Select Delete all Cached Application Data and then press Yes.
