Click the icon next to the drop down arrow where you selected right half or left half. I think you may have just toggled the FX Bypass for the Preview Window.

I was able to reproduce the error too with Title Studio standalone on Windows 7 from the BCC 10 OFX version. I even tried disabling the performance features under preferences. I have imported another c4d file just fine, but I don’t have another application installed that can verify your c4d file. Maybe Peter will have better news for us.

Roger,
See if you can find that email still from your purchase. I got the Mercalli suite that included v4 SAL and the Sony Vegas Plugins. At the time, I was not sure if I was staying with Sony Vegas, so I started purchasing items that would work with other NLEs. Anyway, I go a separate key for each component in the suite.
I’ve been happy with Mercalli v4, but in my case I use the stand alone version (SAL). I use it to stabilize all the soccer game footage before adding it to my timeline. I don’t use it often enough to remember how to avoid it reanalyzing multiple times on the timeline as a plugin.

Can you open other project files in that same directory that this file is in? Are you noticing other problems with files on that drive, perhaps run a check on the file system via properties on that drive.
It could be that something is keeping Sony Vegas from reading the file. I would try making a copy of the file in Windows Explorer and see if you can open that copy or if you get an error trying to copy the file. If you get an error copying the file, perhaps an AntiVirus program thinks the file is infected (likely a false positive – not really infected) If that happens to be the case then update the virus definitions or temporarily disable the AntiVirus software to see if that is the case. If you have another system that you could install Vegas on, then you could see if that system opens that project file.

You may need to take these larger Vegas renders and then use something like HandBrake to get to your final result. HandBrake has more options to match your final specs.

I had something similar happen in another application a long time ago. The problem was a corruption in the user profile in Windows. Try creating another login account in Windows to force a new profile and run Sony Vegas when logged in as that new user account. If the problem still exists, then at least you know it is not related to the user profile.

Scale the image with Pan&Crop, but then use Track Motion to position it exactly where you want it. I just had a similar issue last night and this is how I solved it.
Another option is to import the logo into a image editor, like Photoshop, and scale/place it on a canvas of 1280×720. Save as a PNG with transparency.

Try Alt-0 to focus on the timeline and then Ctrl-A to select all events and Ctrl-Shift-A to unselect them. Now it allows you to split with the S key and you don’t need to select the track in that case.

You usually do not have an option to switch out a video card on a laptop, you are normally stuck with what is integrated on the system board since there are no expansion slots like there are on desktops. I did not think that GPU would work with VP13, so you say it showed up in the options there in the Video tab? I got better stability in VP14 when I removed some of the plugins that were not being used. I found my application extensions and started renaming the directories to hide them from VP14. The reason why was they did not work with VP14, but according to Process Explorer, vegas140.exe was maintaining a file handle to them. So now I just have Boris Red 5.5, BCC 9, Vegasaur 3, and NewBlue Titler Pro 4. I pulled out my VASST FASST apps, Production Assistant 2, ScatterShot 3D, and Timeline Tools since they do not work with VP14 yet.

I was thinking your laptop did not have a supported GPU, so I did not mention that. Did you see it offer a GPU card under the VP13 Preferences? If you do, then go into VP14 and hold down the shift key when you select Preferences from the option menu. At this point you should see a tab called Internal. In the search field type in “GPU” and you should see an option of Allow GPU Rendering = FALSE. You can try setting this to TRUE and then go back into Preferences to see if the option is present. You may have to restart VP14 for it to take effect. There is a reason they disabled it, but perhaps you will have good luck with it and the short clips you are rendering. I found that GPU rendering for me worked ok for short clips, but longer projects would result in stalls/crashes in VP13. Anyway, you can always set the option back to FALSE if it does not help.
