Rendering glitches with GPU turned on happens sometimes. It could be a particular GPU driver version. Sometimes updating your drivers or actually downgrading them will produce different results. CPU rendering is usually consistent and without errors.

Make sure that you are using the latest build of Vegas Pro 13.0 and not the original download. Also make sure that your graphics card drivers are up to date.

[Ron Koms] “There’s a red line under the audio timeline? What is this?? It MAYBE something I may use in the future, BUT, for now I just want it to be like it was in version 9…”
It’s an Automation Envelope. You must have inserted one by accident. Right-click the audio track and select FX Automation Envelopes | FX Automation… and turn off whatever automation you added. You can also hide the envelopes but if you didn’t mean to insert one, it’s best to remove it.

Well if you had a Mac the obvious choice would be to render to ProRes 422 HQ or 4444 and be done with it but on the PC it’s a lot more complicated.
You could use the Sony YUV codec which is lossless but I’m pretty sure that only Vegas Pro can read it so it’s not a good general purpose archive format. You could download the free GoPro Studio to get the CineForm codec and then create a custom render template for it in Vegas Pro. CineForm uses a visually lossless wavelet codec which is very good. I would stay away from solutions like Avid DNxHD because Vegas Pro has problems with using lots of QuickTime files. HuffYUV is another lossless Video for Windows (AVI) codec that you could download and install and create a template for.
Out of those choices, CineForm might be your best option.

Yea, open up the FX window for any Event that has a green FX icon and check to see if B&W has been applied. If so, remove it.

I’m glad you found a solution. You might want to share the name of the converter you purchased with the COW community so that others who are looking for a smilier solution in the future might be helped by it.

If you want to show us an image, then upload it as an image.
and paste it into your post
Most people are not going to download an unknown zip file. (I know I won’t)

[will stanton] “I could not get Vegas 12 Platinum nor Vegas 13 MS to use my new Radeon GPU for rendering for either Sony AVC or Mainconcept. I downloaded and installed Vegas Pro Edit 13; it does not use the GPU either.”
The MainConcept encoder only works with very old GPU’s circa 2010. Anything older than the Radeon HD 6000 series will not work. My Radeon HD 5870 works great… my Radeon HD 7950 does not.
Sony AVC should use whatever modern GPU that you have. I’ll have to do some tests with my Radeon HD 7950 and see but it should use OpenCL with newer cards.

[Jeff David] “So now I am paying attention to them and I have two audio tracks sound and voice and I notice one is set to -4.4db and the other -6.4 db. Should they maybe be set to 0?”
That depends on how loud the audio is on the tracks. You can start at zero but if the audio is too loud you should turn it down or if it’s too low you should turn it up. You should use it to adjust the volume of your tracks to your liking.
[Jeff David] “What happens if you are recording voice over audio on say 10 different days and those sliders are not always set the way they were the first day you recorded? DOes it throw the rest of the voice over recorded on other days off so they don’t match? “
Nothing happens because the track volume faders are for playback only. You can have them set to -Infinity or +12.0 db and it won’t affect the recording one bit… only the playback.
[Jeff David] “I guess the point is you can turn up the volume and turn it down using those sliders.”
Yes, but only for playback… not recording.
[Jeff David] “But then there are a bunch other ways of controlling the sound too such as the Master Bus? What is the purpose of having the Masterbus doesn’t it do the same as the other sliders, i.e. control volume? “
The Master Bus is the sum of all of the tracks. You would use the volume on the individual tracks to balance the volume against each other, and the Master Bus to adjust the overall volume of all of the tracks. It also allows you do perform tasks like fade in and fade out because it controls all of the audio tracks at once.
[Jeff David] “then you can also set the sound levels in the microphone by going control panel, sound, right clicking the mic, properties and adjust LEVELS.”
Yes, that controls the recoding volume which is why Vegas Pro does not. If you want to make your mic louder or softer you would do it in the mixer of your recording device. If you are using the build-in Windows device then you would do it in the Windows audio mixer.
[Jeff David] “I am having trouble understanding how all this diff sound thingys’ should be set and coordinated?”
Hopefully I’ve given you some insight into how all of his works. Of course, teaching sound mixing is beyond a forum post but if you have more questions, feel free to ask. That’s how we all learn.
