As an AV producer and radio guy for 30+ years, here is what you are facing. Fair Use is only remotely applicable in the field of news and education to critique or compare a work, and even then it is VERY difficult to do legally.
When you use a copyrighted music bed you face many obstacles. If it is to be shown in public, or private you will need to acquire performance rights, often based on the number of showings and/or number of viewers. You will also face mechanical reproduction rights; you ARE recording it to a new medium. If the lyrics correspond to the subject of your piece, you will also need synchronization rights. Since your client is a bus company, On the Road Again would definately require this. As you can see, you are facing an uphill, expensive battle.
A few years ago I did a video for the local Police dept. to be used with their in-class DARE program. They wanted to use, Danger Zone, We are the Champions and You’ve Got a Friend. This would only be used in a class room environment with the supervision of uniformed Police Officers.
The end result was one owner wanted to limit the class size AND the number of showings, another refused to discuss the issue without seeing a completed version(meaning weeks of work with no promise of ever being able to use the product or be paid for it) and the third owner refused entirely. If it had all come together the cost would still have been tens of thousands of Dollars!
Needless to say, they decided to use music cuts from my buy-out libraries.
The alternative would be to subject my client, and myself, to possible legal action and insanity is not a defense.
If your client still wants this, tell him to start writing checks and it will also take weeks, perhaps months to acquire. Good lock my friend

I’ve got a couple of them myself and since FAST collaborated with Sony on their Espri and amini-DV computer drive the thought crossed my mind that I might be able to save a fews buck too.
How about guys? Has anyone tried it?

I have an issue with VP11 in that The “render as” window has no text, only little empty boxes for letters. Sony is still scratching their head on that one and I had a project I had to finish. I opened VP10 and VP11 at the same time, “selected all” in the time line of VP11 and pasted into the time line of VP10. Now I have the clips in VP10 and I saved it as a different veg file. It worked for me so it may be worth a try. Good Luck!

I finally got past the gate keepers at Sony Support and had a very cordial conversation with the support team. We did a clean uninstall and re install and still have the same problem with the text on the render screen. I seem to have them temporarily stumped with this one but I think it should soon be resovled. I’m still open to suggestions. Thanks

I had already installed the update so I doubt that is the problem
I am still upset that after paying for the VP11 upgrade last week, that they expect me to pay another $150.oo to talk to someone about trying to make it work!!!
I will uninstall tonite and see what happens. I know that to completly uninistall it I will have to do some manual deletes. If anyone has the list of those folders/files and a “how to” I’d sure appreciate it
Thanks again

OK, I figured it out!!
In the default overall preferences the capture program was set to “internal” after changing to “external” capture program all is well.

The predominate effect on that track is form of phasing. The vegas equivilent would be the flanging effect. There is also some delay and some distortion applied to the audio. Play with these effects and you should be able to get what you want. The “erie/spacey ” effect is the flanger.
