Turning Sony Vegas off and on will make the “red” track work in the mix…but it will not repair the real problem and the red track still won’t appear once you mix down the whole movie (I did have two red tracks in my movie and only one was mixing down).
I thought it sounded silly but I went in and turned off my firewall and THEN created the whole mix to a movie. It worked and all tracks mixed down as created!
Thanks for the tips.
