If it was a Child of a Parent Track, then I would suggest seeing if I had inadvertently Muted that Parent Track.
I’m stumped.

Good!

[Carlos Silva] “For instance, would be useful to have each interview in one different track of the same project?”
I know exactly what you mean. Most of my own work is based around the following and I’ve indicated tracks I’d using:
a] Interviews – Tracks 1 Video Track 2 Audio
PLUS
b] Voice Overs – Track 4 Audio
PLUS
c] B-Roll and its audio – Track 1 Track 3 Audio
PLUS
d] Music Undescores. – Track 5 Audio
This is an Outline of my “Track-Logic”. I can change it, but I find this gives me the most human feel to the flow (see next paragraphs)
What I’ve also learnt is to be organised about my Media, and make use of BINS:
Bin1 = Voice Over
Bin2 = Interviews
Bin3 = B-Roll
Bin4 = Additional Audio: Undescroes, Foley . . . .
Bin5 = Graphical “aids” and photos and artwork.[Carlos Silva] “Would be better to create different projects and then join all at the end?”
IMO? No.
The very nature and need to show and demonstrate a continuous flow makes it almost an imperative to have a single Project. Why? Often there are back and forth references – visually and sound-wise – so that having separate Projects could be limiting to your own editing creative flow, and ultimately the Viewers ease with which they can take the information coming a,t them off of the screen.
However, yes, if there are very deterministic, ring-fenced items, then sure. “We are now going to speak about the ‘Liberty Bell’ and Now we are going to speak about ‘Big Ben’. But even here I could argue the need to NOT have separate Projects.
Look, Project management and the organisational aspects of getting to “closure” often can take much time to decide on which approach to take – I know! – But some thought of pre-thought/design to this aspect of your work can reap major benefits down the line.
I’m often NOT a supporter of Process over Outcome, but this is one of those occasions that actually, the “Process” can be part of the “Outcome”. I’ve got one going now that intrigues me as to just how we are going to assimilate ALL the Media assets and that’s from SHOOT to final Q&A.
You’ve asked a series of great questions. I just hope I’ve been able to give you some of my experience in finding a way through.
And yes, K.I.S.S!

I’m using Fred Baumann’s ScreenRecorder. Very easy to use. Download the Evaluation copy and give it a whirl!

[Glenn Rotar] ” Can it be programmed to to a gradual zoom out.”
Yes, most certainly.
Below the Pan/Crop window is a mini Timeline. You can place Key Frame markers to set where and how fast Zooms and Pans are executed. No need for splitting an Event.
If you can’t see this mini Timeline, then move your mouse Cursor over one of the edges under the Pan/Crop Workspace. You should see the Mouse cursor changed into a Double Headed Arrow. Hold down the Mouse button and Drag Upwards. That should reveal the mini Timeline.

That’ll be the Sapphire Radeon HD 6950 (100312-3L) 2048MB PCIe x16 Gen 2.1 Eyefinity 6 Edition.
I’ve got an nVidia Card. Read about the usage of the two diffferent makers. It’s not straightforward. Really it’s not.
Compatibility? I wouldn’t comment.
I can’t open your PC spec page.

A most EXCELLENT question indeed! I wish I had asked it. Or rather had had the courage to ask.
I’m listening.

“Pan” in Pan/Crop has a feature that allows us to “lock” movement vertically or horizontally. Maybe you’ve engaged the Vertical lock?

No. I have a vague memory of either VV3 or 4 doing this. Or maybe it was Pinnacle Studio 3? Dunno….

Well, SONY Creative Software do have a “Product Comparison” page on their Website, with a “Vegas Product Family” section. However, it is a wee bit lethargic this morning. Maybe getting across the North Atlantic to London has meant some egress of salty water has gotten into the pipe?
In any event, “Here’s Johnny!”
