You might try some color correction on both halves of this to even out the grey background. I don’t know if that will help or not, but that white line you are getting should be able to be blended so as not to see it at all. It should only take a small amount of feathering ..

I’ve been doing stuff like this myself and wound up using a green screen. It saves you all the rotoscoping and allows for the clone images to cross over into the other side of the frame, one image behind the other.

I’d say the keyframe that is making it go out of frame is hidden, likely very close or on top of another keyframe. If you know how, “zoom” the keyframe timeline so you can find it and delete it. Every time you change the pan/crop a keyframe is automatically created. THese can go so close to or even on top of an existing keyframe that you don’t notice. Hope this helps. Hard to explain. Search on Vegas Keyframes for tutorials on YouTube.

You can at least “lower” the volume on a specific event independent of any other event in the project. Simply left click, hold and drag down from the upper center of an event. Pull it down. It works like a window shade. You can do the same for video in regards to “lowering” the opacity.

As I said, I use this to “mute” a specific event in a hurry without disturbing anything else.

If you want to control the audio volume for a specific event only, you can drag down the volume level as follows (from Vegas help under “Adjusting an audio event’s volume”):

Hover over the top of an audio event.

When you see the envelope cursor ( ), drag the volume line to the desired level. As you drag the line, the event’s gain is displayed in dB.

I use this often to “mute” a particular audio events without deleting the event or using volume envelope points

I wish I knew … undo does lag for me too, at times .. but other times it does not. Generally it does not. Love to see opinion here on what makes the difference. Waiting for undo is a big fat drag.

I’d say you have some sort of system problem … I think you realize that VP13 works just fine for thousands of us out here … so if you have a clean install of VP13, then the problem is elsewhere .. I know you say all your other software is working fine, but obviously Vegas is NOT .. there is some conflict somewhere WITH VEGAS that the other software does not encounter. What I’m pointing out is that your system is different than all of us out here who run VP13 daily without issue because we are not encountering your problem.

If all else fails, last resort is to start with a fresh system drive, do a clean install of your OS .. and make sure to load the motherboard drivers. When you have a clean booting system up, load VP13 and nothing else .. If things are screwy then you need to check your computer components for problems. Memory — video card — motherboard …

Try to think of ways to narrow this problem down. I’ve had long experience with computers and on occasion I’ve had to start with a fresh install on a new main drive. It seems the long — and expensive way to solve a problem but it does narrow things down and sometimes the long way is actually the short way. It’s rare that system components are flaky, they usually just fail altogether but it can happen. For example, a bad power supply can cause problems without failing completely … but these things are rare .. I can’t say that’s your problem but, as I said, last resort is to get down to basics.

Does this happen with other projects? … Start a new project with just a few events on the timeline. Do a Render. What happens?

[Paul Berk]

Looks good … nice work ..

I’d love to see what you come up with … basically it’s an animated arrow using keyframes, Vegas does the inbetweens .. the trick, in this case, is knowing how to pin one end of the arrow so it swings like a gate.
