do you mean that you are for example, putting a particular fx package on many clips that are from the same take? if so, do it via media fx. that way, you might have 100 clips all from the same file, and you can add the same fx to all at one time. and if you change the fx setting, all clips using that media fx will update too. having said that, i have had some trouble with media fx replicating but i seem to be alone in this! ed

what is your dynamic ram preview setting? try 128. i had mine set to 8Gb, thinking more was better. it slowed down rendering by a lot. changing to 128 speeded up renders by a massive amount. ed

i’m fairly sure that in the past when i had this problem, what i did was ignore the vegas browser. with vegas open, open windows explorer. then just drag the mov files from there onto the timeline. for some reason, vegas browser can’t see them… ed

right click on preview window. untick “adjust size and quality for optimal playback”. then you can set a quality setting at top of window and it will stay where you put it. ed

might be worth checking whether the output render has interlacing switched on instead of progressive. ed

i’ve been getting a lot more crashes on closing down vegas pro 11 with the latest build…
also got issues with media fx self replicating. have emailed sony twice over the last 10 days and got no response so far…

don’t really understand your question too well. but from what i can make out; you have a full length video/audio track and want to add another audio track mixed with it, without affecting existing timing of video?
first, create a new audio track. then import the new audio onto that. you can move it freely without affecting original audio/video and change the level and fx. you might find it easier to add a track for each type of audio (e.g. music, sound fx); it helps when navigating the project. make sure to name the tracks as well.
you’d need to read the manual on the basics of adding tracks etc.

hi lads. yes, i posted a tech support request to sony last night. in a few clips i ended up with almost 100 instances of levels and neat video. had to go through and remove alll but the required ones, then save as a plugin chain and apply that whenever the problem occurred. this cost me a day of editing, going back through the whole project and re-rendering! ed
p.s. if you can get cuda working, it makes a huge difference. i have found rendering with neat video to be between 10-20 times faster. using an intel i-7 2600k i was getting 1 frame every 2 seconds. now i get between 10-20 frames per second. i bought an evga gtx460 sc. quiet, cheap and a big speed boost for me. also makes the realtime preview very smooth and high quality.

thnaks for replies guys. i have seen it a couple of times in other long projects with multiple cameras. i think it is somehow related to saving/reloading projects. definitely not connected to pasting attributes though, because i only use that when creating titles for separate sections. usually i can spot when the problem is happening and go in and remove the doubled instances manually. yesterday, working at speed with 2 clients behind my back, it crept up on me incrementally until bam! a clip with so many instances of neat video that the program froze. will investigate when i get a chance. might have to contact sony about this one.
maybe you could try to replicate.
try this
make a new project with 2 or 3 cameras.

do a quick multicamera edit

go to each camera and use media fx to apply levels plugin

save project as test master

open test master, then identify a section and trim it.

save the trimmed section as master test clip 1

close project

open test master, then identify a section and trim it.

save the trimmed section as master test clip 2

close project

reopen either project and check to see if media fx are correct or if they have doubled.
