Hmmm… any way you slice it there is a LOT of keyframing in your future. Having two copies of the media on tracks above each other with the highlighted media on top and then keyframing a mask to expose the highlights you want seems like the quickest approach (which is what I believe you said you were planning). You could also have the music staff on a third track below and just have the text change but it’s the same amount of keyframing either way. This looks like a lot of tedious work. I hope you’re getting paid enough for it.

The good news is that it is a Rich Text field so you can compose your text in Word or some other editor and then cut and paste it into the text box and all of the formatting will be preserved.

Hi Jason,
Douglas tried to give you the solution. Let me reiterate it step by step:
- Go to the Sony site and logon to your account and get the serial number that has been assigned to you with you purchased Vegas Pro 8.0.
- While at the Sony site, download and install the latest version of Sony Vegas Pro 8.0c (just to be sure your copy isn’t corrupt)
- Run Vegas Pro and when prompted for a serial number, supply the number that you got at the Sony site in step 1
That’s it. If the serial number doesn’t work, call Sony tech support and they will help you. Registration support is free so just call the 800 number. I have installed Vegas Pro 8.0c on Vista 64 without any problems at all so I know it works.

If you are done editing for now, go to File | Render As… and select the render type and template that you want to use. If you are going to DVD-Lab you want to select MainConcept MPEG-2 as the render type (because DVD’s require MPEG-2) and then select a template. I use DVD Architect so I don’t know what templates are compatible with DVD-Lab but I would start with the NTSC DVD or PAL DVD (depending on what country you are in) as a start.

Hi Nick,
If you’ve added all of your camera markers and now want to see the resulting edits, you should move to Step 5 in the infinitiCAM User’s Guide on page 21 which will show you how to “Process Camera Edits at Markers”. This will build a Master track with all of your edits that you can watch to be sure all of the edits are to your liking.
If you need to change anything, just adjust the camera markers and run step 5 again to rebuild the master track until you are happy with the edits. Then move on to the final editing stages in your project or render the master track out and watch it on another device.

Open Track Motion and at the bottom is a little mini-timeline with all of the keyframes. Drag your mouse over all of them to highlight them. Then you can copy and paste them into another track even if it’s in another project.
Nested projects do not have to be rendered. If you have Vegas Pro (6, 7 & 8), you can drag and drop a project (.veg) file onto the timeline and it will be treated just like another piece of media. To edit it, you can right-click and it will give you an option to edit the nested project in a new instance of Vegas. This is not supported in the Movie Studio versions.

If you have a FAT drive I would definitely convert it to NTFS or not use it. The FAT filesystem is limited to 4GB max file size.

Wow, if the Sony techs can’t fix it you are really in trouble. Well… it looks like you are running out of space somewhere. Make sure you have plenty of temp space where ever you have told DVD Architect to use temp space. Blu-ray is 25GB so you need twice that space to make a temp image and copy it to the final image.

You can open Track Motion on one project and select all of the keyframes by swiping them with your mouse. Then copy and paste them to the Track Motion of the new track in the other project. The simple approach is to use nested projects.

To do a crawl, place the text in a Generated Text Media event all on one line and position it at the bottom. Then use Pan/Crop to move it from one end to the other using two keyframes.
