In the Project Media view (Alt 5 shortcut), there is a column for Media FX and if that is greater than 0 then there is a Media FX applied to that media.

I would check the Windows Event logs and the AntiVirus logs if you run AV. The problem with AntiVirus is occassionally the new definitions to detect new threats will happen to match a seemly random pattern of an old executable and it will treat it like a threat. Often times it will move it to a quarantine folder or if configured poorly, will delte the file outright. They call these false positives. If that is what happened, then you might be able to configure the AntiVirus to exclude the Pluraleyes folder from being scanned in the future.
If you are not running AV, then the Windows Event logs will show if someone or some process uninstalled Pluraleyes. This is less likely unless you have someone else logging into your system and trying to free up resources by uninstalling applications.

I was able to get it to work applied to the track, just not the event on the timeline. That makes since since the event does not necessarily start at the beginning of the timeline.

If you change the view from icons to details, it will show a Use Count column when you display your various media bins.

The VASST MediaTool app will make it easy to remove these files afterwards, but while you are using Vegas, they would still be there.

Something similar just happened to me the other week. Turned out that when I asked it to burn the BluRay, the default option for Burn Source was “Previously prepared image” and I needed to choose “Current project” to have it see my latest changes to the looping video. I had a previous burn when my menu did not have the looping video and music.
Other than that I set the Menu Page Properties as follows:
Background Media
Video: MyIntro.avc
Audio: MyIntro.ac3End Action
Command: LoopMark

I use the GTX 570 and it works most of the time, but occasionally I have a problem with rendering and then I turn it off and just use the CPU (at least for the Sony rendering. I also use New Blue and BCC and those utilize the GPU also.
My recommendation is go with the Quadro 4000 if you can get it and avoid the gaming card driver of the week scenario. The Quadro series is a workstation class card and that really means that you get a better tested driver. The game cards have impressive specs, but no one really cares if a few frames are corrupted in a game. A more stable driver is much more important to preserve your time investment in video editing. As far as choosing between the 460 and the 660, I would go with the 460 as that was the architecture that Sony originally released with (400 and 500 series). I heard the 600 series uses a different architecture and even though they had more cores, each core does not perform at the same level as the previous architecture. Hence performance is not linear to the number of cores between the two architectures.

I looked at my Timeline Tools install and help on their web site and I would say you can’t. You could apply transitions between the shots, but I don’t see how it would add the various pan/zoom to each photo for that Ken Burns effect. Even if you could somehow pull it off, the $10 tool allow for easy configuration, but more importantly, you can change the parameters to adjust the duration and what transitions you would like applied.
Just as an added FYI, make sure you scale down your images perform you put a hundred or so on the timeline. I usually export them with the long edge set to 1920 pixels.

I use Production Assistant, but you can just buy this single feature for under $10 as an option from VASST.

I know it is not free, but it works very well for my slideshows with both stills and videos.

I get the same result as Norman did, but with Firefox running on Windows 7. It will only download the entire video, but then it plays just fine.
