Nasty . . . .
OK, I have NOT done exactly this, but have used the elements of remedy I describe below. Two problems immediately spring to mind, and, as a result, a third too:
1] Talking overlap: If the 2 girls, A and B, do NOT overlap then you are, sorry for pun, halfway there. If there is enough “separation” between the two then literally split out A from B and place A or B on a new clean track. You can now start adjusting-back the Volume of the louder. If you DO have a lot of chatty overlap then this is gonna be a nightmare . . .
. . moving on . .
2] Audio Characteristics: Apart from volume, speakers/people, generally, “off-mic” will not have the same audio characteristic as those “on-mic”. “Off-mic” sound distant, echoey and of course quieter (see above). This was my third observation, “On-mic” sound as if they are standing next to you. In which case you going to need to try and apply some SFx that will bring A towards B in their characteristics. You could try adding some small amount of one of the “Acoustic Mirror” characteristics?
As I say, I have NOT done exactly this for the purpose above, but have used all the elements above to achieve a remedial result. Maybe others here have a better and more straightforward way.
Another way, now thinking about this a bit further, would be to do an initial Normalization by leaving the Splits on the same track and THEN do the Acoustic Mirror approach? Might be an idea . . .
Anyway, how “bad” is it? Somtimes it could look<>sound ok. After all it did happen this way?

The *.sfk file is NOT a copy of the *.avi file, but the file that contains the GRAPHIC of the waveform OF the Audio that relates to that Video file. These get “built” when you place a AVI on the timeline.
Now, will you please supply a screen-grab of your timeline clearly showing the tracks, the content, the cursor AND the Preview window.

Need to know more. Be specific – yes?
Firstly what is the “Intro”? Explain?
Secondly, If you CAN see the first pieces of video and not the following, then this ain’t Trimmer Preview. Or is the Intro made up of generated text?
Thirdly, what format of video have got on the timeline? The one you CAN Preview and the one that ISN’T showing?

Chris, I don’t see this as an issue in the “Release Notes” Vegas® Pro 9.0 August 2009″ at this site: https://sony-234.vo.llnwd.net/dspcdn/releasenotes/vegaspro90b_readme_enu.htm.
Now, that might mean EITHER they haven’t noted it OR it is local to your machine OR both of these. Until somebody here or “elsewhere” has stumbled on this, I can’t add anything further than to say open a “ticket” at SONY:

Not been much help?

Do you have the MainConcept CODEC working, say for rendering to MPGS? Have you registered your Vegas? I am NOT aware that ripping DVDs is depended on the MC CODEC being in place but it may/could have some relevance? Sorry, not very helpful . . .

I understood you completely.
3-D can get mightily complex, very quickly. By the sound of what you are saying the “object” is already off-set and that’s the you want it – yes? I’d use Rotation in Pan/Crop. I do this to keep things simple for my Brain . . .

First off, make sure you haven’t by-passed FX-ing on the preview Window.

Not that this would have much bearing on the issue, but I notice you are using a “restored” VEG? Try naming and saving it first. What IS the Media you are using?
Motion Blur works fine. But it IS CPU intensive. How is the rest of your PC? Have you cleaned it up lately? Do you know how much hard drive space you have? Are you doing this rendering from and to the C: or system drive?
My thoughts are that you have picked on a majorly CPU and HDD process, MotionBlur+Rendering in Vegas, that might just be highlighting an underlying issue with your pc.

I’ve got SpicemasterPro 2.5 and it is working fine in VP9b 32-bit on XP Pro SP3. I have it working in previous versions of VegasPro and this new iteration of Vegas has just picked it up and is working as it should.
When you say: “I just recently acquired a plug-in for Sony Vegas called, “Spicemaster.” ” – did you download it from the Pixelan website? And if so, did you go through the installation process? If you did, and you aren’t satisfied, then I would be going back to Pixelan: https://www.pixelan.com/sm25/intro.htm : and querying them.
Also, this is a useful page on their site: https://www.pixelan.com/sm25/help-techsupportfaqs.htm
I have many plugins from 3rd party developers, and all have worked. Spicemaster is a highly professional set of tools. Get back to them and I am sure they will assist.

Set Preview to BEST Full; click on the floppy disc icon; save as jpg or png. Done!
