I have the same problem. AVIs from other sources work fine but AVIs from my camcorder give an error message if I try to insert them into a project. I use FreeMake to convert them to WMVs.

This shows what’s happening – out point set, no selected region.

In Out

Your video shows how I expect it to work. However, when I hit Out in Vegas 12, it sets the end point but does not select the area in between (the blue shaded area between in and out). The only way it selects the area in between is if I stop playback then press Out, which is far less convenient. I use the I and O keys, I don’t click the interface button.

It almost seems like there is a setting someplace that needs to be changed. If I can find time today, I’ll take a video of it.
