Try zooming out. From your picture it looks like your zoomed in about 10x.
You may need a higher resolution picture to get the frame you want.

You graphic looks like a good candidate for conversion to vector graphics, which would allow you to stretch it bigger than it is, and then re-rasterize it for use in Vegas.

Look around the net for free utilities (of trials) to get this done.
You can get 2 free conversions at https://vectormagic.com , I don’t know if they need a credit card, be careful of that.
Also check out AutoTrace at https://autotrace.sourceforge.net , looks like I might get this one.

David,

How many tracks are in your project?

Try opening a new project, put just one short event on the timeline (1 track of audio, 1 track of video) and render it out. Does that work?

You may have the opacity turned down or have a your video track was muted.

Just a few things you can try.

Gee Philippe, Sony Vegas is running codecs written by Sony, Apple, MainConcept, Realmedia, Cineform, just to name a few. When editors realize that the code behind the codecs is not exclusively controlled by Sony, they gain an understanding of how to troubleshoot problems with formats that are new to their workflow.

I recommended Avid because I think their DNxHD codec will be capable of reading your apple hijacked Sony footage. (Can you tell I’m not a mac fan?)

You can try what the experts suggest or you can keep your unusable video.

Philippe,

Go get the Avid codecs…

There might be something there to help you.

Rafa,

Technically you did render, if there was any compression involved, it was done in real-time. Vegas works fine with heavily compressed video, like a low bitrate AVCHD. I tried to explain to you the difference between an editing codec and a delivery codec. DIVX and XVID were not meant to be edited.

oh well,

Jeff

You are viewing in draft mode (on the output window). Try switching to good or best in the dropdown box.

Rafa,

AVI is a container to put video from several different compressors, (movie camera, screen recorder, 3d program, etc.) These movies can be decompressed with an application such as a media player or editing program.

Vegas is a platform intended to edit videos and must first decompress the AVI it is given. DIVX is a codec made to deliver video. It was not intended to be a two-way street. If you could capture your video using a more edit friendly video codec, Vegas would be much more able to properly handle your files.

Some people think Vegas should be able to work with all video files. Sometimes it is like putting diesel fuel in a regular gas car. Both of them burn but only in the right machine.

I suggest you fine a new codec to record your videos. I don’t have screen capture experience, so I cannot help you there.

Good luck,

Jeff

Steve,

On the event click the square box, in the new window that pops up, make the frame (dotted lines) larger by dragging the handles. Then, click on the track motion icon for the track and resize the box to be smaller. You will get it with a little hunting!

You can stretch the pan crop window and shrink the track motion box multiplying the shrinkage. Or you can do it the old fashioned way… fire-up Photoshop.
