What’s the format of your source footage?
-
Bill, please start a new thread for your problems as this should not be happening. I load time lapse images into Pro 10e a lot and never have any problems.

What you could do, once you do a color match, is to save it as a preset.
Then apply that at the track level. -
[Mike Edwards] “I use Vegas Pro 11 I don’t see a Sony AVC setting with “Internet”
I do see Main concepts version”
For reasons known only to them, Sony changed things in Pro 11 so that’s where those presets now reside.

Both John and I told you where to look.

I can’t remember exactly but check the folder locations of your temp directories in both Vegas and DVDA.
The files will be in one of them. -
To see your channel settings again, move you cursor to the far left until it changes into a cursor with two arrows on it. When that happens, slowly drag it to the right to show the track headers again.
The two track mode is a new feature called Expanded Edit (page 161 in the manual).
Double-click any edit to enter, double-click again (or hit Esc) to exit.
The shortcut is to press 5 on the numeric keypad. -
[William Mims] ” I wonder what Sony format is best and has the least compression from workflow to DVDA master?”
I always give DVDA rendered MPEG-2 and AC-3 files and never have any problems other than it telling me that the file is too big.
If the project is under 70 min., I use a custom CBR of 8,000,000.
Anything longer and I use a bitrate calculator to determine optimum VBR settings.
My personal favourite is https://www.johncline.com/bitcalc110.zip.
I set the Safety margin to 5% just to be on the safe side. -
Like John, I’ve never had any problems with long form HD projects and some of mine have been 2 hrs. or longer.
If you get a warning in DVDA about the file size and you know that you’re under the limit, ignore the warning. This is a long time problem and Sony has done nothing about it despite repeated requests. I get this warning all the time, ignore it and DVDA proceeds as if nothing happened. -
Glad to be of help Don. Let us know if you have any more questions.
