Linear wipe doesn’t quite get you there as I believe the OP wants a black bar to act like a windshield wiper back and forth .. he’ll need to do the black bar (use solid color in generated media) on the track above using track motion keyframed to match the Linear wipe effect.
A bit tricky but comes close to the effect OP wants.

You can get close to this with the Transition “Page Roll” .. or you can use the “Linear Wipe” transition with a black bar added on the track above using track motion to move it across the frame in sync with the Linear wipe.

>>i was thinking of just rendering out the timeline as one and dropping it into vegas 12…. what would be the best template/setting to use?,
HD Mxf files would be a good choice. They are nearly loseless.

[Christine Neuvil] “Can anyone help with my main questions (the first two)?”
You could use “tools/scripting/batch render” to batch render the regions to MXF files (these are essentially lossless). This is not the same as sub-clips, but it might provide a solution.

Which version of Vegas?
-
You might try adding Sharpen FX at zero or .25 to all the video in the project prior to rendering. THis made a difference for me when making HD content to SD DVD’s ..

I don’t think there is a setting in Vegas that would throw your media out of sync. It’s much more likely that you don’t have the right codec for the media or it is some driver problem. In any case, it seems that some media runs ok and some does not. You call it random. It’s possible things like hardware failing, (memory failure or power supply issues) can cause “random” problems with computers .. otherwise, not likely that this is really random.
You need a way to narrow things down. Since you say all your media is from the same software, Shadowplay , Use mediainfo on the media that works and does not work. See if they are different.
I’ve used Vegas since Version 6 — in all that time weird problems like the one you describe have related to media that was not friendly to Vegas. For example, variable frame rate stuff has never been good for Vegas. It has happened that media that worked in a previous version no longer works in a newer version. Mediainfo might tell you what, if anything, is different about the media that “works” and media that does not. I’d be surprised if they are identical. But if they are, you may need to test that same media on a VP14 setup on a completely different computer to narrow things down further.
This is just my opinion. I don’t claim to have your answer.

Are you using the same video card and video card driver you used with V12 ? This may be the issue —
You need to narrow done what works in V14 and what does not. Can you record something new and use it in V14? Does any of your old media work in V14 ? .. What’s different about the media that does not work in V14 now?
Here’s some possibles on another forum:

How are you doing the infrared effect? Is it an FX or combination of FX?

>>only thing that has changed between then and now is a reinstall of Windows (same version) which subsequently lead to me being unable to reinstall the same version of Vegas I was previously using …. less-than-legal version of Vegas 12 …
So basically your saying the .veg files you generated with the ” less-than-legal version of Vegas 12″ have problems ..
Can you start a new project in V13 or V14 with the problem media — or does the same problem occur with that media and a brand new project as with your old V12 veg files?
