I have a very speedy machine 3.0 GHZ HT and it took ONE HOUR to render 5-1/2 minutes! EDWARD, WHAT IS YOUR TAKE ON THIS?

Yes three options one of which is “all tracks, markers and regions” !! Great! Thanks again.

Hmmm very interesting but I don’t think Vegas studio has velocity envelopes, please confirm.

GOT IT! When you right click on properties, you CAN adjust the playback rate of the scroll! Whew, that’s certainly not an intuitive place to put this adjustment!

It is minimized and hidden under the windows taskbar.

I bet it’s hiding under the windows taskbar. Minimize it or move it and it’s probably there.

Perfect! Exactly what’s required here. Thanks!

This is all totally understandable. My only gripe is that the text keyframe timeline should not have to be adjusted manually at the top if you change it on the main timeline – it should self adjust! However, I am still new to keyframing and the reasons for it being the way it is may become apparent if I keep working with it. You have total control, it’s all up to you.

“You can create a selection area on the timeline for the size you want the text event, right-click the track in that selection area, choose to insert the generated media, and it will be created the length of the selection area.”
-Yes, that works fine, however please confirm that if you are doing keyframing on a text event, you must know the length of the event because the “unsynced” text keyframe timeline will allow you to insert keyframes anywhere – including places outside the length of the event which is absolutely meaningless and which behaves in extremely unpredictable ways (i.e. it appears to loop back to the first keyframe, just like if you extend a clip beyond its end looping from the beginning. It is essentially, NULL SPACE. Does this make sense?

I am starting to run into some very subtle problems with keyframing, especially on track motion. You of course already know that when you do something to keyframe an effect, you need to RESET those effects (when they complete) back to NO effects BASELINE or else you will have the nasty problem of all the following video events on that track being effected by the last track motion settings because the automation is still in effect. Whew! I am starting to get headaches over exactly when and where to reset track motion PIP, shadow and glow back to baseline and it is NOT easy to figure out. Any hints on this? Am I into some advanced stuff here? Another thing I ran into is that turning shadow and glow ON or off is NOT available as a keyframe effect – because it is a checkbox – I handled it by setting the alpha channel to zero and this IS keyframeable. Whew, really flying by the seat of my pants here, do these kinds of problems get WORSE? What book deals with these intricacies?
