OpenCL, or Open Computing Language, was originally defined by Apple but has been under an open standards group for some time.
It is a generic programming language and interface for parallel compute algorithms. It will run on anything that has a driver/compiler developed for it. Mostly GPUs but CPUs as well. The later mostly for debugging purposes.
CUDA was the original “GPUs compute” language but was specific to Nvidia GPUs. OpenCL is designed to be portable across any hardware.

I see from your video that it looks like you have a file with multi-channel audio. Maybe that has something to do with loss of focus. I only have camera files with a single stereo channel. Maybe there is a Vegas quirk with the type of source file you have when pressing ‘a’ in the trimmer.
As for the playback item. As others mentioned this is normal behavior. Setting the in and out position creates a loop region and the loop region alters the playback range. You need to move the play cursor outside the loop region of simply press ‘i’ to move the in position to the same position as the out position. This nullifies the loop region and play will continue linearly from the in/out position.

I can see that you are running in 32-bit mode. This takes a ton of compute power to do and your machine may not be fast enough.
A question that comes to mind is why are you using 32-bit mode? 8-bit should edit MUCH better.

I am with Aleksey. When I try the workflow stated in your post the trimmer does not lose focus. I am not aware of any switch and cannot find anything in any dialog.

While the Sony AVC encoder can use GPU it does not use GPU for much. Only for motion estimation it seems, so it only gets a small speed boost.
Mainconcept AVC does implement fully GPU based encoders but it does not support modern GPU architectures. Only Fermi on Nvidia. It has not been updated in years.
The Vegas video engine should always use your GPU well enough. It is used during playback and file encoding (render as).

That is a bunch of double talk trying to state it is a feature and not a bug. I stand by the use of bug. If they let you apply it, then it should be saved to the VEG file. That mumbo jumbo about a subclip is not a file is meaningless. Tags are always saved in the VEG file and the VEG file is Sony’s own creation so they can do what they want inside that file.
My guess is the media files and subclips are listed in separate sections of the VEG file. When tags were added to Vegas they added room for them in the media file section, but forgot about adding the same to the subclip list section. They likely cannot add subclip support to Vegas without breaking VEG file compatibility. IMO, They would do that on a full version release.
Be sure to submit a feature request to get your vote in for this possibly being added.

I believe it is a known bug that subclip tags get lost when you exit Vegas and then reopen. At least when I test this the tags are always lost.

[John Rofrano] “Once you use a Mac you’ll wonder how to tolerated Windows ineptness as an OS (sorry to preach but I couldn’t resist) ;-)”
Some cults must be more fun than others. Apple must have really tasty cookies at the gatherings. I wonder if those cookies have any secret ingredients.

Also make sure you have not accidentally clicked “show favorites only” in the render as dialog. Or any of the other filter check options. These filters might hide your templates and these check options are sticky.

[Angelo Mike] “They’re AVCHD files in an mov wrapper, I believe, from my Canon t3i.”
Vegas generally bypasses Quicktime with DSLR MOV files. Specifically those with AVC video with PCM audio, which is the norm for nearly all DSLRs, and this is the case for all Canon DSLRs I have used.
If you do get a file imported, then you can easily tell this by right clicking the media and going to the general tab and looking at the plugin being used.
qt7plug = Vegas is using Quicktime
compoundplug = Vegas is handling the file directly.
