Project settings are:
NTSC Standard (720×486, 29.970 fps)
Field order: Lower field first

I rendered as the Vegas “Default Template (uncompressed)”. I do notice now that its settings are defaulted to “Field order: None (progressive scan)”. Should I change either my project settings field order to progressive scan or my render settings to lower field first? Could that be the issue?

Wondering, too, if the pre-built graphics clips are still okay as full-frame renders or if I should re-render them in fields as well, or if that even matters (?)

I’m still getting used to “slicing” –> “events” instead of “cutting” –> “clips” myself, but that’s what you do in Vegas…

Duh… I knew it. Thanks Matt!

Hey John–

Okay, I was in the right spot… just didn’t get the window I was after until actually selecting the Wave Hammer.

Anyway, I just tested my current project with it and it worked like a dream, and was a whole lot easier to get things pretty much situated than what I’m used to.

Thanks again. I see Vegas continuing to be a powerful toolbox with each reduction in my intimidation by it.

Hey John (Rofrano)–

I feel like an idiot, but where do I go to display the “Master FX” window you showed on your earlier post?? I see something kind of similar at the track level, but nothing for a master output level.

I’m trying to do the step-by-step sequence you advise, but can’t even find how to display that window you show (I’m on Vegas 10).

Can you point me to it?

THANK YOU,

–Kelly

Yo John,

Wow.

Thank you once again for your help. More than I ever expected, but greatly appreciated.

Now I just gotta find out what “Wave Hammer” means/is.

Thanks Luke, I’ll try that!

Yo James… I found it.

Select INITIAL in USER FILE of the OTHER FUNCTIONS screen.

You have to do the scene files individually. Turn the Scene File dial to 1, then in the SCENE FILE screen, SAVE/INT, select INITIAL. Then just do the same with the other five.

Hey Ronaldo–

I just went through exactly what you’re going through. QTPro worked for awhile, and then starting a couple months ago I’d get lots of flickering and weird artifacts at transitions. I spent three days poking around the web looking for free/cheapy converters, but nothing I could find worked worth a damn.

I finally ran out of time and sanity and caved and bought Sorenson Squeeze 7. It works great, but it’s hard to figure out and costs your first born child.

My only experience with DSLRs has been that they’re way more trouble than they’re worth. Recording separate audio can be enough of a pain in the butt all by itself by the time you get to edit (it’s real easy to get out of synch between the camera files and the audio files), and yes, when the camera gets up to temp it starts aborting on the recordings, which is also loads of fun.
