Open the project, go to File – Properties, and change the “Output Rotation”.

It could have been moved “off the screen”. You might try changing to a higher video resolution and then locate the window and move it back to the main area. Then you can reset it to the resolution you desire.

Welland, what settings are you wanting to change? If it’s just a matter of changing the title to a different length, then just change the event on the Vegas timeline to the length you want and then make the event that length.

See the “Keyframe 1”, “Keyframe 2”, and “Keyframe 3” options in your image? You select the keyframe you wish to adjust and then make the changes. Now select another keyframe and make changes. Each keyframe needs to be adjusted individually.

Maria, if you add an “effect”, it will apply to that text for the entire length of the paragraph.

If you add a “transition”, you can adjust the length within the paragraph to which it applies.

If you did use an effect, you can open the effect settings in Titler Pro and add keyframes and adjust it to “do nothing” after a period of time. You would have the initial keyframe with the animation, another keyframe two seconds over with the same settings, and then a third keyframe another frame or two over changing the animation settings to none.

Scripts are the way to go for adjusting multiple events. Excalibur can do this as well.

What’s “the black line”?

We have discovered that the “Promote” option does not always work correctly (because Vegas does not always put the embedded markers in the correct location).

I have a video where Vegas reads the markers and places the first one at the 0 second mark when the first marker is actually at 10 seconds so all subsequent markers are 10 seconds off. However, if you load the SCC file that Vegas created when reading the markers, the markers are placed in the correct location. This is in all versions of Vegas I tested.

You can use this as a base. Just change the effect name and the preset name as desired. This one was named “BWEffect.js”
