Let me clarify on my end, Spot. If I go to my template and double click on the saved title, then type in different letters, it creates a keyframe UNLESS I am at the very beginning of the keyframe timeline. Since I need to move in a second or two to see the text (it begins with a gaussian blur, remember) this new keyframe is created and instead of the text coming in from a gaussian blur, focusing and then pushing off to the right, my text moves in the middle of the effect (which I do NOT want to happen–looks bad!) because this darn extra keyframe automatically was created!! So if there is no switch to turn off keyframing in the Pro Type titler, how do you do this? Am I in an incorrectly selected area, for if this does not happen to you I don’t know why it is happening to me? Is there any way for you to clarify this? Would you be able to post screen shots to show your method using my aforementioned effect? Any help that you can provide would be most appreciated, and I want to also tell you that without your VASST DVD Vegas training I wouldn’t be as far advanced as I am today with my Vegas/Architect skills–THANKS AGAIN, SPOT!!

I’m sure that some Vegas guru has the answer to this one. So would one of you kindly jump in and help a newbie? Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the e-mail and file, Ed; I will test it when I get home later. In the meantime, you mentioned that the effect was added to the track. Is there instead a way for Excalibur to add an effect to multiple, selected events? I want to select a bunch of audio events and apply the same effect(s) only to those I choose and NOT have it affect everything on the track. Thanks.

Ed:

My e-mail bounced back from your account, so here is what I wrote you yesterday:

To follow up on the Excalibur app being grayed out that I posted on Creativecow.com:

I first uninstalled Excalibur 6 that I D/L’d the other day; updated Vegas to 8.0b; D/L’d Excalibur 6 (supposedly the new version that you U/L’d the other day after my problem) and installed it. Lo and behold, all of the buttons are functioning. The bad news, though, is that it crashed Vegas!

Not being a programmer I do not know what this attached error message means, nor the explanation code below; However, I know that you will be able to tell from this what is going on. This error occurred when I chose an audio preset effect on two highlighted, adjacent audio clips e.g., to sweeten 2 audio clips next to each other–it was the Vegas compressor set to the 2:1 starting at -18 db).

Vegas 8.0b otherwise appears to work as well as 8.0a in Vista Business(2G RAM and 1 internal 320G HD, 1 internal 500G HD and 2–500G external HDs), Intel Core2Duo 6600 memory speed @ 2.4GHz. Is the problem something with my PC, Vegas 8, or Excalibur? Is there a problem with Vista, perhaps?

I trust that you will be able to figure this out, and realize that not all apps work with all PCs, disappointed as I was in it not working and perhaps never working for me!

Thanks in advance, Ed, and I hope that you will be able to give me an answer well before this current demo expires. I prophylactically have uninstalled Excalibur 6 pending results of your researching my problems, and look forward to hearing back from you soon.
