Nothing that’s exactly the same, although some of the NewBlue FX tools share similarities.

Nope. Audio doesn’t go more than about 15% with any degree of integrity….
there are some third party VSO-emulators that do a decent job, but you can’t create audio where there was none.Douglas Spotted Eagle

Contact Sony support and let them know.
It should work without issue, HDV is the same format, unless you’ve got some odd container. However, there were some minor bugs with mpeg video that may have carried over to mpg audio files in some strange manner.
Assuming the files opened properly in 9c?Douglas Spotted Eagle

Where does he want to put the video?
wmv or .mp4 are the typical best formats for the web.
If you’re putting on YouTube or Vimeo, then .mp4 is the best solution.
If acquired in HD, export as 1280×720@10mbps. You’ll be very happy.
If acquired in SD, export(render) as 640×360@6mbps. You’ll be very happy.Douglas Spotted Eagle

a single pan/crop should not affect the entire timeline, no. If it appears to continue to do so, render the offending clip to a new track, and render project from there. While this should NOT clean up the problem (which shouldn’t be existent relating to pan/crop) it is one avenue to test.

I’ve seen more than one system in the past couple of weeks freezing up due to Cineform and Vegas 9d…

Some additional info might help.
Which version of Vegas? OS? How are you transferring files from one computer to the other if you can’t save the veg that corresponds with those files?
specific steps that lead to failed save?
Doyou mean you can’t render? Or “Save As”?Douglas Spotted Eagle

I think I’ve written novels on this subject over the years. The cow has an article about deadly levels that I wrote a decade ago.
A-if you have a mix that’s perfect, but slamming 0dB, then pull the master down accordingly so you’re not messing with the mix levels, just the master.
B-Some numbskull years ago wrote a book saying that -20dB is where your peaks should be hitting. I’ve chewed him out in public for this on more than one occasion. There are two scales that xover people know.
0dbFS (full scale) which is a digital measurement
0dbVU, which is an analog measurement
For years, the relationship between the two varied. Panasonic had their version, Casio had theirs, Tascam had theirs, and the variances were nutty between them all. The industry finally settled on -20dBFS as being equal to 0dBVU.
Simply be sure your peaks are in the -3 to -6dB range at output and you’ll be fine. I run much hotter than this, but I also use compression tools to keep the mix in place.For just home video, don’t be afraid to normalize. It’s not a terribly good practice as a first remedy, but it works just fine for most things, especially in non-broadcast/distribution video.

Did you insert keyframes in your cropping? If so, a keyframe may be keeping the white wall in the background for a bit of time?
Putting up a short youtube stream might help us see the problem.Douglas Spotted Eagle
