You won’t want to render to the flash drive; at least in my case I’ve seen corruption in doing so. But I have delivered masters of commercial pieces on a thumb drive, just giving it to the client. They also later receive a disc archive, and we archive to a spun up HDD system.

Welcome, Eric!
I haven’t been around much due to a sports injury, but now that I’m back “in black” hope to be around here more too.Douglas Spotted Eagle

Specifically, what is missing?

You might try reducing your dynamic RAM.
Failing that, you might reduce the speed of your graphics acceleratorDouglas Spotted Eagle

What do the Vegas Vectorscope readings tell you? What does the waveform monitor tell you?
When copying from Vegas to Photoshop, you’re compressing the image and converting the file, therefore potentially skewing your result.
Image should be 0-255, but I don’t know that camera, it may be 16-235, might be 0-255. View the exported bars in Vegas.RGB = 0-255 color range
sRGB = 16-235 color range (aka, studio RGB)XY doesn’t change the range, it changes the depth of color.

it depends on the format to which you render. If you’re rendering to new using uncompressed, you’ll lose nothing. If you render to anything else, you’ll lose a little bit, but in the general sense, you likely won’t notice any loss. Codecs are pretty darn good these days, and generational loss is minimized.

Any of them will give a “movie look” but if you haven’t shot “movie style” then you likely wont’ get “movie look” that you’re seeking.
Are you wanting a warm or cool picture? Certain tones more noticeable than others?The best way to find the look, IMO, is to start dropping looks on your master output and then using CTRL+Z to remove it. You’ll find what you want/like, almost guaranteed.

Capturing from what device? Using what connection? Stuttery during capture or on timeline after capture?

Two choices. Either shoot it that way (using depth of field) or in post, you can use two copies of the same video, put a cookie cutter and then blur on upper track, and let lower track reveal the product.
Usually easier to shoot with DOF, but maybe not. The “COPS” effect is fast and easy to do in post. The less camera/subject movement, the less keyframing you’ll have to do.Douglas Spotted Eagle

avi video has *always* shown up in Vegas. The codec used in that AVI may not be Vegas compatible.
For example, an MJPEG codec may have been output from your camera, but it’s in an .avi container (that silly paper bag analogy again). Without an MJPEG decoder, you’ll not be able to see the images.Douglas Spotted Eagle
