Take a look at Edward Troxel’s free newsletters (PDF format).
PIP (Picture In Picture (what you want to do) using Track Motion is covered in Vol. 1 # 2, 3 & 4.
Pan/Crop is covered in Vol. 1 #8.
Some of the functions will only be applicable to the full version of vegas but there are enough similarities so that you should be able to figure things out. -
You need to place each video on it’s own track and then use either Pan/Crop or Track Motion to shrink and re-position each clip.
I know the full version of Vegas has both of these features but I’m not sure about Movie Studio. -
…my video are tv shows i’ve downloaded of the internet?
That means that they’re probably some form of either Divx or Xvid, both of which are problematic for Vegas to read.
I’m sure there are converters somewhere to change them into a format Vegas will recognize but I have no idea which ones would work. -
If you’re putting an HDV clip onto an SD timeline, then yes, you can definitely zoom in on the image.
How much of a zoom in depends on how good the focus was on the original footage. -
Vegas has had this capability back to least version 4 so Pro 8 can do it too.
Use either Pan/Crop or Track Motion to do the zooming in for you.
Be advised that, if you’re attempting to zoom in on an SD signal (720 x 480), the quality will start to fall apart fairly quickly. -
Once you delete the audio track and save the project, you cannot recover it without re-recording it from tape or backup file
Right-click on the video clip and select “Open in Trimmer”.
Right-click on the clip in the Trimmer, drag it back to the timeline, place it over top of where the audio was deleted, follow the appropriate prompts and your deleted audio is back where it belongs. -
Terry, I see that you’re using 7.0b
The last release of it was 7.0e
A few folks have reported some issues with this version and dropped back to 7.0d
It’s not on the regular Sony site but you can get older versions from their software archive. -
Roger, first of all, congratulations on the series.
That’s got to be a great feeling!!!My only Edius suggestion would be to try a short EDL to ensure compatibility between the two platforms.
Once again, cuts and fades only. -
You can try an EDL but there’s no guarantee it’ll work.
One caution is to stick to cuts and fades only.
No FX as what works for one NLE won’t be recognized by another.I’m curious as to what Edius can do (tidy things up) that Vegas can’t.

I no longer have Vegas 6 but I dropped them on both a Vegas 7 & 8 timeline and they worked OK for me.
Allen might be onto something with the long file name.
Try creating a new folder somewhere else with a much shorter path.
