I’m using V13 build 453. Can’t copy to V14 .. previous version that I had was 444. Not sure if that copied to V14 ?

OP should be able to work around using Veg files. I assume OP is using V13 for PluralEyes.

I can’t copy anything from V13 to V14 either. Don’t remember if I could before latest version of V14 ??

But you can open a V13 veg file in V14. So you can put all your PluralEyes stuff in one veg and open it in an instance of V14 and work with it from there. There may be other work arounds.

You can Stretch/Compress video and audio at the same time by using CTRL-Drag.

To change the duration of an event without changing its contents, use the Time Stretch/Compress tool or hold Ctrl while dragging the right or left edge of an event. The mouse pointer is displayed as a . You can use the Time stretch/pitch shift controls in the Event Properties dialog to specify whether the pitch of an audio event will be preserved while stretching.

Thanks John and Jorma for this. I never knew much about the “details” view in the Project Media window. Now I do.

When using “details” view in the Project Media window, fields can be reorganized by dragging them into a different order. Specific fields can be hidden by dragging them off of the Project Media window. Once hidden they will remain hidden for all projects until they are “checked” again by right clicking in the Project media window and choosing the view menu.

Others have reported problems with the latest drivers for GTX5xx .. I have a GTX560ti .. using driver 372.90 with no problems.

Seems like something has changed on your system. Any new software or drivers added or updated? Windows update? .. Look at System Restore in Windows to see if anything was changed in the system that triggered a restore point and would be the right timing for this mysterious Vegas slowdown .. Something is up and conflicting with VP13 or some setting within VP13 is causing this. Check Dynamic Ram — is that the same setting as VP12?

Hardware failure is less likely as VP12 is running well.

[Paul Berk]

Yes. CPU upgrade will help smooth playback …. Always best to get as fast a CPU as you can afford.

I believe, as you save veg files they will appear in the list at the bottom of the FILE menu next time you open Vegas, up to 9 veg files.

Turn on file names in View Menu/Active take info

Change dynamic ram with Preferences/Video tab .. try more or less Dynamic ram to take advantage of your 16 gigs of ram.
Google “Vegas Dynamic Ram setting” for info or something like that.

At top of Preview window, toggle split screen on and off with icon.

Not sure anyone can tell you for sure … but I just created a 15 hour timeline .. and used the lowest quality Windows Media Video template at 512kbps .. After about 2 minutes, I rendered to about 1% .. so this might mean that your render would run for 100 times x 2 minutes or around 200 minutes times about 3 or 4 .. so around 600-800 minutes .. at least on my machine. Your mileage may vary.

Naturally you should try to match the video on your timeline to render in terms of its properties, meaning resolution, frames per second etc. How can anyone say for sure it will render to completion?

But I have never attempted a timeline or a render this long. New territory.

I believe you have the answer John ..

But let’s say this happens — you hit Ctrl Something-or-other and suddenly you have a problem with Vegas you don’t understand or recognize. Ctrl Z does nothing. How do you get back to the way things were a second ago? Simple. Before you do anything — do a save. This will create a backup file the way things were a second ago. You can then close Vegas and then open the backup file. Bingo. You are back.

Is this not right?
