Soren,

I don’t know the answer to your crash problem, but if you’re in a pinch, a possible workaround might be to import those “five or so” clips at a time, then render them as something else out of Vegas. Then delete those, and do five more, same thing.

Testing is never a bad thing (but don’t tell that to a software salesperson).

You can’t expect anything toward the very edge of 1920×1080 to appear on a TV. Turn on the safe guides in your preview window and don’t put any borders outside the outer guide.

Hey Will, if your project’s that big, why not just make a few (project) iterations of it with sections you know are finished. That way, if you DO have to tweak anything in those sections you’ll be able to and, if not, render some of those big sections and bring that result into your main project.

You may find things are a lot more manageable if you don’t have to have every little component as a standalone event in one project.

Okeedoke, thanks Mike!

Hey Seth,

I used to fret over this myself, but surrendered to the fact that no two monitors ever seem to be the same. Anymore, I just view critical footage on the monitor that most closely matches the image in my camera’s viewfinder, and that becomes my frame of reference. Otherwise, I just find myself chasing my tail for hours.

If the new version has a feature called “Get New Clients”, I’ll upgrade as soon as it’s out.

I’d say the safest way to do it is save with a new name before you make ANY changes.

Shawn–

I’ve had your same symptoms from Day One, but it’s only been with WAV files. It could be almost anything, too– it’d play part of the track, then cut out, then be OdB static, then play a portion from a completely different project in a completely different part of my file system.

The only way around it has been to change any WAV files I get to AIFF files, which has worked every time.

I don’t know if that’ll do it for you, but, if it does…

How about this:

— Do one track with solid white,

— Lay in your different-length images,

— Go through and park your cursor on all the ins and outs where you don’t want the white and make a marker

— Go to your white track, click through the markers and cut them.

Maybe?
