Ron, that is very strange. I’ve done thousands of projects using this method and have never had a file get corrupted. I’m on Pro 12 these days but have been doing it this way since Vegas 3.0.
I came from a dpsVelocity system and have dabbled with Premiere Pro but that’s the extent of my “wanderings” as Vegas has almost always worked for me. The few times it hasn’t has been operator error. -
What I do is save incremental backups. That is, documentary-01.veg, documentary02-veg., etc. I do this after I make a few changes or edits. That way, if I mess up, a recent backup is very easy to load.

Joe, I’m glad my solution worked for you. I often use this technique if I have stills that were shot in portrait mode and I need to see the entire image instead of a cropped one.
-
Joseph, see if this works for you.
Add a new copy of your video to a track below the existing video. Open the Pan/Crop window, right click in the center of it and choose Match Output Aspect. It should fill your screen. Exit Pan/Crop. Add a Medium Gaussian blur to the lower track. If Medium isn’t enough, increase the blur amount.
I hope this helps. -
On May 15 of this year in the Catalyst Production Suite thread on the Sony Vegas forum, Sony said:
We remain committed to our craft editor Vegas Pro, releasing build 444 on April 6th which added expanded XAVC support and addressed some defects. We’re not done – currently we’re working on addressing some specific camera model firmware issues, Windows 10 support, and more.
A few users on that forum have already tried Vegas with Windows 10 and have been successful. I take that as good news 🙂 -
Tim, I just tried it with native mp4 files from my camera as well as several other file types. Every one worked in the Trimmer so I’m not sure why you’re having problems. BTW, this is with Pro 12.

[Nigel O'Neill] “I’ve been using this calculator for years and never even noticed this button or clicked on it. Just learned something new! Thanks”
My pleasure Nigel. Always glad to help users discover something new.

Remember to click the Save Markers/Regions icon in the Trimmer window or nothing gets saved.

Rick, my apologies as that’s not what I meant to type.
I went back through several of my old posts on here and I always recommended setting that value to 1024.
I’ve tried searching a few Vegas forums to find out why you set it to 1024 instead of 1000 but came up empty. If I find the answer, I’ll post it here.
I checked my settings at work and at home and both are set to 1024. -
I just realized why your numbers are different than mine (i.e. higher).
Click the Settings box in the lower left corner of the calculator.
Now click the 1 kilobit = 1024 bits option as shown below. I can’t remember what the rationale was for choosing this setting but it always works for me.
My guess is that using the slightly lower numbers will finally worj for you.
BTW, there are times that DVDA will say that the file size is too large even though you know that you’re under the limit. If that happens, ignore the warning and DVDA will happily prepare your DVD for you 🙂
