[Todd Zimmermann] “I’m wondering if that is because I am looking the preview unrendered. But I always use the preview with no problem and it renders just fine. This is the first time I have encountered this issue.”
Well, I’d prerender the section that is presently giving you grief, just to eliminate any Preview issues. After that, and if successful we could look at the “why”‘. From what you’ve said, and looking at what you’ve posted, I can’t readily see an obvious reason.
Can I see a Timeline SG?

Overlapping Lyrics? Keyframes not revealing the words?
I’d like to to see a ScreenGrab of your T&T setup.* Grazie

Thanks John. Good work. It’s good to see some real science behind this.

Thanks Robert. Yes, exactly.
[Jeff David] “I use a firewire to get the footage from my camcorder into my computer. I did not know it could be used for editing. “
When I expanded my first setup, I was working off of a Dell Laptop, an Inspiron, and I needed some form of external storage. The Dell has a PCMCIA Card slot and I purchased a 3-port FireWire PCMCIA Card. I was made up! To this I applied one and then three daisy-chained extra external FireWire drives. I was also able to capture directly from my Canon XM2 DV Cam straight into Vegas. I had my laptop Screen Up and on level with a second, Pixel missing SONY LCD screen I got from an exhibition for 1/2 Price! Great, loadsa real estate. I loved that setup. And if I need, or have too, I can rely on my FW drives to work to come into one of the Towers. These are now old and of little value – but they’ll work if needed to.
I don’t know ???? if your setup could withstand this type of FW expansion, but you may want to explore the possibilities.
Finally, you sound like you have got a setup that works for you – good ????!

Understood.
I’ve developed my “rigs” over a 15 year period, spending muchly as my own client-funded budget has allowed. It’s not been an overnight development and I’m loathe to share here just how much I’ve spent! But, like you, the budget is the thing.
Getting back to the editing flow speed/rate concerns. I started with only using FireWire as an expansion, as my client funding came on stream and as the Terabytes grew, I researched the then USB and then the USB2 and decided to stay with external FW. Fundamentally, USB is a communication Protocal, only and may still, deal with Packet transport of DATA where error detection is essential. FireWire, OTOH, deals with Streaming DATA. Now I haven’t drilled down the methodology of USB3 but I’m assuming it still uses Packet transport of DATA using error detection, faster than USB and USB2, but still Packet. Using internal SATAII data sharing is what my PC uses and so I’ve developed my system this way. Oh yes, I still have my FireWire option available, but don’t edit this way now.

[Jeff David] “I don’t understand, if you are not using USB3 then what are you using?”
I have a Tower PC with five SATAII drives. I’m happy. I use my USB3 purely for grabbing my MXF files from my CF cards. If you’re finding USB3 works then carry on.

[Jeff David] “That may be why it takes so long to open.”
You think! I would not do anything in real-time editing via a connection that hobbled my creativity. I also have fast USB3 and would not use it for this purpose. There are limitations and ones I don’t want as part of my workflow – in this case it would be a dribble. . . . .
OK, so what we started off with was a file that would not open and stalls at 42%, to now, a file that opens, albeit very slowly and your persistence in tracing done a problematic Media file that after you deleted allows for your Project to open in a timely way – is this correct?

OK, not a solution, but try this. Create a new project. Add some Media. Do some simple Splits and dissolves. Save and close and close Studio. Now, what happens when you go to open it?

[John Perez] “I want a one-stroke short-cut.”
Sure, I can diggit! You don’t want to break your attention, you want to be able to “flow-forward” with your narrative.
OK, you have an Icon. I have one or two too. The Icons are linked to Scripts. I’ve found that IF the Script appears within the Customable Keyboard Menu, then I can assign a KB keystroke to it – so long as that KS hasn’t already been taken. Do you know about customizing your KB?
