Are you able to open other projects? If the backup file does not load either than perhaps something is awry with the software. Did you load any other software or drivers perhaps? Check the drive for errors. Do the basics before anything else and get back to us.

The simple answer is no. The “undo” is saved in incremental steps of changes and as such there is no way to go back and just select the one edit you don’t want and maintain the rest forward of that point. I do pretty much what Mike does so that when I come to a point that the change would be time consuming to manually undo or if I have doubts I create a separate Save using the date as a reference and any other info that would help me remember. I also like to create my own edit log with more details on what I did and what I was thinking. For that I use my word processor program. It adds a little to the work flow but later on when I cannot remember what I did and such it saves the day. You ask some great questions Jill…

For sure all the warnings signs went up. The temptation lasted for only a minute then faded. This is my year of upgrades and cross platform usage and as such cutting down the outlay from the tally is very tempting. A few years back I helped in reporting the NY camera scams and every website I could find of theirs to all the law enforcement entities I could find. Back in that day I almost…almost bought a camera from one of them but the “too good to be true” light went on and I searched and found the truth. I posted this for myself and others as a reminder that they still out there. Thanks for taking the time to look at the site.

Sorry Jill it does happen and it is certainly not personal. We all have our different areas of knowledge and experience and I wont try to answer a question if I can’t offer a viable solution based on experience. If you research the forums you will see a trend whereas there are many posters but far fewer responders. Some people just get their answers from searches or have their queries solved and then move on. Over all the people on here do a great job in trying to help as best they can anyone and everyone. It could be that your problems have not been encountered by us and so we stay silent in the hopes that someone else can shed some light. In just a few days there are many added posts and depending on our real schedules we might not be on for few days and as such don’t go back and look at older postings. I’ve posted questions on certain areas and have never gotten answers as well. But that is not the norm. With all the varied platforms, systems, software, configurations and applications it is not hard to understand why this is so. Keep trying and reposting. Someone might have and answer or you might find the answer and be able to share it with us.

Great idea I was not aware of this one, goes along the same lines as their Malicious software remover tool and Defender. Those two present will eat make your system crawl. Your memory should never be low like that but it is interesting to note that you can run AE without a problem. Let us know if this. works.

Your system in more than adequate to run Vegas. Make sure you have the defaults set for Vegas. You can hold down cntrl shift on launch to do that. Then make sure your page file size is being managed by windows. Open up your Task Manager go to Performance and check your Physical memory stats as well as the Kernel memory stats. You should have more than 1 gig available for the physical memory. If these number look ok then I would look to see what processes are running resident. After that do a memory test using any number of available downloads to make sure your memory is not at fault. Do a clean boot with no services running and see if that helps.
Here’s how it works.
Virtual memory is used by Windows to simulate working memory and act as a staging area for the physical memory (commonly referred to as RAM – Random Access Memory).
Whenever you load more programs than will fit in RAM, it uses empty space on the hard drive to simulate additional memory.
Items that are not needed for the current task are sent “backstage” to the virtual memory until needed.
The less RAM you have, the more your system must use the slower virtual memory to juggle all of the applications that you invoke. This is why adding RAM is the “best-bang-for-the-buck” upgrade for increasing the performance of most systems.
When you get a “system low on virtual memory” you are exhausting both the RAM and virtual memory that has been allocated by the operating system.
Under normal circumstances this would only occur if you had actually opened too many programs, but in reality the most common causes for getting this message have less to do with the number of programs the user is opening and more to do with issues that have impacted the operating system.
One possibility that is easy to check is the available free hard drive space used for virtual memory. Open “My Computer” and locate the primary hard drive (usually C:) and right-click on it then choose “Properties.”
A pie chart representing your hard drive will appear with the blue section representing the used space and the purple representing the free space. If the purple is a sliver, it’s time to get the “urge to purge!”
Uninstall any unneeded programs and run the Disk Cleanup utility (Programs/Accessories/System Tools) then check the pie chart again. If you still have very little free space, it may be time to get a bigger hard drive.
If you have plenty of drive space, it may be severely fragmented which reduces the amount of “contiguous” space available for virtual memory. A disk utility included in Windows called Disk Defragmenter or Defrag located in the Programs/Accessories/System Tools folder may help.
Hidden programs that are running in the background (adware, spyware, viruses, worms, and Trojans) is a very common occurrence for Internet connected computers and could be loading down the operating system before you even begin.
Windows XP users can open the Task Manager (Ctrl-Alt-Del) to see how many “Processes” are running in the background. With all other programs closed, click on the Performance tab in the Task Manager to see a graph that shows CPU Usage History and Page File Usage History.
If the CPU Usage History graph is spiking up and down and no programs are open, you likely have some pests running around in your system.

Here is a good discussion on this topic. Personally I have both and don’t see any difference. I believe it really depends on the monitor/card and what you application is. Do a search on Google DVI VS Analog (D-SUB). Hope this helps.

What is happening is you are getting the bezier curve and that can be confusing to deal with. After you are done with your mask you need to go frame by frame and adjust your mask points as needed to make it as neat as possible. This is very time consuming and when you do the math you will see why. You’ll sometimes want to only select one anchor or maybe the whole mask. You can do either by right clicking on the mask and then selecting the “ENTIRE MASK” or just an “ANCHOR”. Once you have selected either you can use your arrow keys to move them easily. You’ll have to do this anytime there is movement or change in shape. Select feather for both in and out in the properties as well to help give a more blended look. Play with the settings to get the look you want.
Now for the math…30 Frames per second=1800 per minute. Times that by the total time and you can quickly see how long it can take. Now of course if there is not much movement it will be much less but either way if you want it to really come out well you have to spend the time. Or buy some extra software to help..

Can you tell me what you are using to play the media file and what are you rendering it to? Since it plays in Vegas and you obviously have been able to edit it with no problem and I would try to render a small portion of only the audio to further trouble shoot the problem. After you render the file right click on the properties and verify the audio is present. Try VLC player as it is a good all around media player that I prefer over the rest. It seems to play everything I throw at it without a hitch. Hope this helps.
