Hi Kaya,

Mike’s right about saving a folder with a name and number for your project. What I make a habit in doing is creating a folder with a date and everyday I work on that project I give it a new date so if anything happens I can go back to that date. Always save, save and save everytime you add or make changes to your project because you don’t know when your computer will go down. It only takes a second.Plus, I always save to an external hard drive, for me that’s a must.

Good Luck!

Hi Ruth,

Upgrade by downloading the latest version of Sony Vegas9, close Vegas, reopen and see if that helps.

Hi Lyndsy,

Press CRTL+L (Auto Ripple) on your tools bar to solve your problem. Make sure you have the right timeline (track) selected.

Hi Phil,

With the pan/crop open for that event and you have a number of nodes or keyframes on the event, make sure your at the beginning of that event. Hold down the shift button and click on the last keyframe node to select all of them. Then you press the delete button or right click then delete and your event is restored to the original event.

Phil,

Let’s see if this help’s out:

Undoing and Redoing Edit Operations
Ctrl+Z
Edit Menu
Ctrl+Y

Undo and redo give you the freedom to experiment with your project. Edit to your heart’s content. If you change your mind, you can always undo your changes. If you change your mind again, you can redo the undone edits (whew!).

For example, if you accidentally deleted a track, simply choose Undo to restore the track.

You can perform an unlimited number of undos, so you can restore the project to any state since the last Save command.

——————————————————————————–

What do you want to do?
Undo the last action performed
From the Edit menu, choose Undo or click the Undo button .

Undo a series of actions
Click the arrow next to Undo button . A list of the most recent actions that you can undo is displayed.

Select the action you want to undo. If the action does not appear in the list, use the scroll bar to scroll through the list. The selected action and all actions above it are reversed.

Reverse the last Undo performed
From the File menu, choose Redo, or click the Redo button .

If you later decide that you did not want to reverse an undo, click the Undo button .

Reverse a series of Undo actions
When you reverse an Undo, you also reverse all Undo actions above it in the list.

Click the arrow next to Redo button . A list of the most recent actions that you can redo is displayed.

Select the action you want to redo. If the action does not appear in the list, use the scroll bar to scroll through the list. The selected action and all actions above it are redone.

Undo all edits
From the Edit menu, choose Undo All to reverse all edits in the undo history.

You can view the edit history by clicking the arrow next to Undo button .

Clear the edit history
From the Edit menu, choose Clear Edit History to clear all of the entries in the Undo/Redo History list for the current project.

The edit history is also cleared when you close your project.

You will not be able undo or redo any previous changes after clearing the history. Don’t forget the (History) left and right arrows in the tool bar.

I hope this helps,

Hi Leo,

Try grabbing the upper corner edge , click and drag it into the footage for the desired length of fade. Annother way is to have to pieces of footage, click and drag one piece into the other and it will automatically crossfade.
I hope this helps.

Happy Crossfading
