> I had the same files from my new camera uploaded to Vegas running on someone else’s computer and it plays beautifully, so it’s not the camera or source material at fault.
What were the specs on that person’s computer? The Sony Sony HDR12 shoots AVCHD which is extremely taxing on any computer and a single core computer is very old by today’s standards. A faster computer is the only solution with Vegas because it is bound by CPU power.

There is no Pan/Crop at the track level. It sounds like you are using Parent Track Motion which is an entirely different thing and will not give you the resolution you want. If you want both events to act as one for Pan/Crop AND want full resolution then using a nested project is the only way to accomplish this.

Take a look at Pixelan CreativeEase for the StepTime 2 plug-in. This will give you the look of missing frames. You could then just speed that up in time to the music.

Would it be possible to post a screen shot of what’s on both PC’s? I can’t imagine why the blue triangles don’t show up the corners of your events. They do for me on both XP Pro and Vista 64.

Have you changed the DPI of your display from the default 96 DPI. If so, that’s your problem. Change it back again and the dialogs will not be cut off.
If it’s not that, then it’s probably an incompatibility with the window manager that you are using. Try disabling the window manager and see if it fixes the problem.

You don’t have to go through all that trouble. Dropping a 2048 x 1536 image into a 1920 x 1080 project still gives you 2048 x 1536 of resolution to play with. Vegas will not downconvert it at all so you can zoom in without any loss of quality.

> am thinking of doing a system restore to prior to the 8.0c uninstall, and simply installing 8.1 over the top of 8.0c and see if that makes a difference.
That’s what I would do. You’re gonna need Vegas Pro 8.0c anyway because 8.1 can’t use any of the 32-bit video plug-ins for Vegas which makes 8.1 limited in it’s usefulness.

VOB files are not always interpreted correctly in Vegas. I would take the problem VOB file and convert it to an AVI file with another program first.

I’m having a hard time picturing what it is you are trying to do. If you drop the image into a 1920×1080 project and go into Pan/Crop and select Match Output Aspect, Vegas will crop the images to match the video. You may have to adjust them up or down to get an exact match.
If you want them to behave as one piece of media you can make them into a separate project and then drop the project into your original project (like a nested comp in After Effects) and Vegas will treat the nested project like a single piece of media while still allowing you to edit the individual events separately in their own project.

If the AVI files displays correctly in Vegas 4 and not in Vegas 7 on the same PC that is very odd. I would contact Sony tech support. Maybe you could upload a small portion of one of the files to them with the project and see if they can figure out what’s going wrong.
