Hi Barry,

After you direct to the new location all the missing files, have you done a ‘save as’ and used that project? If, so you are then missing the files from this newly ‘save as’ project?

Hi Jesper,

I’m not sure what you are referencing as ‘sequences’. However if you go Options > Ripple > Auto Ripple, or use the keyboard shortcut ‘Ctrl+L’, when you place a clip onto a track in the timeline, it will automatically push anything out of the way of the clip you are adding. If you delete an event from a track, auto-ripple will automatically close the empty space caused by the deletion.

However, caution using Auto-Ripple, as it can produce strange behavior when you have multiple tracks. If this occurs, ‘Ctrl+Z’ becomes your friend to ‘Undo’ your steps.

If you are not familiar with Auto-Ripple, I would suggest trying it with a test project before using it with any important project you are currently working on.

I also used incremental project saves, such as ‘Test Project-01’, then I make some major changes, I will save as to ‘Test Project-02’, after making other changes, I will save as to ‘Test Project-03’, and so on. This way I can roll back to a previous save as if I get things all messed up.

Hi Lisa,

How about these other suggestions, have they made any difference?

Are you matching media in your Project? Have you ever done a full reset of Vegas? If not you may want to try this. Hold down the ‘Ctrl+Shift’ keys and double left click the the Vegas Pro desktop shortcut. When the window pops-up, check the box ‘Delete all cached application data’, then left click on ‘Yes’. This will reset Vegas Pro 13 to it’s original installation settings and delete all the pesky cached application data that builds up and sometimes causes Vegas to do strange things.

Remember even when you update to the latest build, installing this will not take care of a full reset, so I would try the full reset.

Can you post a screenshot of your Project settings?

If none of this helps, you may want to consider rolling back your GPU driver to a previous version, or if there is an update available, install it, or both of these.

Best Regards……George

Hi Jay,

I have not used the Smart Upscale as yet for SD > FHD. From the very little testing I have done, it does make an improvement, but the tricky part is getting the noise settings as low as possible, yet still eliminating the noise, if there is any, to your satisfaction.

I would start with a 2.5 factor or slightly less to get 480 to 1080. But you may have far better results taking the SD to 720p if you are going to show it on a smart screen TV, as they tend to do a better job at uprez than our inexpensive software.

Hi Gerry,

You are far more familiar than I with drones. I’m a pilot and have resisted drones since whenever. But, this may be the year when I dive into them. Good Luck with your project.

Best Regards……George

Gerry@ “I do have to say that these examples seem to lack the smoothness and resolution of the example from my video; do you think my example was also made this way?”

No, I think Hoverpro is using their own drone technologies. I think using Google Earth is an inexpensive alternative. Google Earth requires a credit stamp and Hoverpro does not display this.

However as for the smoothness, I would check the specs of the Google Earth recording and if they do not match with your project, you may have to perform a conversion, and.or, perhaps apply a light motion blur to smooth things out.

Although making long aerial overhead shots like those done by Hoverpro would most likely be best done by using Google Earth movie, you may want to consider an inexpensive DJI drone to make close in low altitude shoots that show the property and neighborhood and then blend that into a 3D aerial of the town/city using Google Earth.

I assume at this point you know a lot more about Google Earth Movie than I do from your research. Sounds like a fun project that may in fact provide you with some really nice views. I would be interested in seeing your results when you have fine tune them.

Hi Michael,

I think this should work. You could test this yourself, uninstall your studio version and install the public version and load the project. If it works for you and your client has the same source media and setup on their computer, it should work for them. Then uninstall the public version and re-install your studio version to get you back up and running.

I think I have open a project made in 15.3 studio in 15.2.3 public, but do not remember for sure.

Best Regards……George

Hi Marc,

I’m not aware of a method to do that within Vegas Pro 15, although perhaps other members here have a method. You may be able to get that capability using something like Vegasaur add-on.

Michael @ “Ok, I will try that. Just to be clear however, when you tried to repro, were you using VEGAS Titles and Text or Legacy Text?”

Yes in both Title and Text and Legacy Text.

If I click on a key frame, it goes larger, then the play head snaps to that position and the key frame goes to normal size. With the play head at the key frame and click on it with the mouse it goes large, then a click on the Delete icon will delete the key frame. So, if the play head is aligned with the key frame to be deleted, then left click on the key frame to enlarge it (select), then move the mouse pointer to the Delete Icon and left click, the key frame is deleted.

Best Regards……George
