Place the rendered DV-AVI video on a track ABOVE your current project, cut out the sections that need to be “fixed” from the top track and fix them on the lower tracks. When done, re-render to DV-AVI and only the cutout portions will be rendered. The rest will be COPIED.

Using Vegas, you’ll need to re-render the entire project to MPEG2 again.

Ok, did some experimenting tonight and you CAN do it with a single menu in DVDA 3 as follows:

1) I dragged three separate clips to a menu
2) Double-click the first clip and go to the “End Action” properties from there you have to change the Destination to the menu you just came from and then change the Destination Button to the button you wish to be highlighted.
3) Go back to the menu, double-click the next clip, and repeat the above settings
4) Repeat for all additional clips.

I didn’t know that feature was in there. Thanks for making me look deeper.

Let us know how it turns out and what you come up with.

Basically, yes. There is ONE default menu button. This won’t change that based on what has been played. So simply make another copy of the menu with a different button as the default. It will LOOK like the same button but a different button will be highlighted by default.

I will admit I haven’t played with DVDA3 as much as I should have at this point but I don’t know of a way, other than duplicating the menu, to get a different option defaulted.

It should work fine for new generated media being added to the timeline. However, it appears that if you drag it from the media pool it will maintain the original length.

You can’t do it with a single menu. You COULD create several menus – all of which look identical but each one has a different item as the default value – and simply return to the appropriate menu upon leaving the clip via the end-action.

[bingo] “(Sadly, Vegas does not allow you to record the 1394 signal from the camcorder unless it is pulling it from the tape”

Absolutely NOT true. Simply go to Options – Preferences and turn OFF “Device Control”. Then it will capture just fine without a tape.

Vegas 6 can display to a secondary monitor. I don’t know if it will do you any good but you might also want to look at the TV Out tool at https://mikecrash.wz.cz/

Then just try installing Vegas again. Make sure you’re using 6.0b.

Sony tech support also has some tools to help diagnose problems in this area. If this doesn’t work, you may want to contact tech support.
