Create an Audio Envelope instead of FX Automation.
Go to your Vegas help and search “Audio Envelope” to show you how to adjust the envelope (it helps to see the picture in he help file).

To create the Audio Envelope:

Go to toolbar and click on Insert and choose FX-Automation
Then select the Tab for the processor to automate (Izotope Vinyl).
Put a check in the parameter than you want to control and click OK.
At that point a colored line will be added to your audio track on the timeline. You then manually create envelopes to bring the effect in and out. (Refer to the help file about the steps)

When you raise or lower the line you are adjusting the effect parameter. You double click on the line to create an envelope point.
In the help file look at adjust envelope points for clarification.

It is very easy to do.

As a side note. If you have already used FX Autiomation to write in the effect and all of the automation dots bother you, you can thin them out. Right click on the automation line and select “Thin All Points”.

Hope that helps.
Regards, Rick.

Hi Johnny,

Thanks for posting the video. The motion is most certainly choppy on the render and if I understand properly, the motion is smooth on the source video. This would be my suggestion.

1) Pull the source clip back into the timeline. Use the match media button in your project settings to set your project settings to match your source video. Playback your timeline and see if the motion is smooth. If it is, go to render as and choose a render setting that has an = sign beside it. This will render your video matching the settings of your source file. Hopefully that worked. If not, try idea 2.

2) If after matching the project settings to the clip your motion is not smooth in the preview window, right click on the video on the timeline. A popup box will appear, select properties and select the media tab. There you will find “Field Order”. You have 3 choices here, none, upper, and lower. Try selecting each option and see if the clip’s motion plays out smooth in the preview window. If one of them does playback smooth use that setting. What can happen is that by default Vegas may chose the wrong field order for your clip. If the source clip is interlaced (not progressive)and the wrong field order is selected, your motion will be choppy. What we are now doing is forcing Vegas to interpret it differently. If changing the field order gets a smooth playback then render your video using that field order.

That is all I got. If that does not help perhaps someone else may have some ideas.

Regards, Rick.

Can you upload the video so that I can see if it is playback issue or problem with the file itself? My email address is rickmac06@frontier.com if you want to send me a link.

Can you give us info regarding your source file and the file that you rendered? Some file types in HD would be difficult for a computer to playout at full framerate.

Johnny, if I’m understanding the problem correctly your rendered file is not playing back at full framerate when you bring it back into Vegas for a playback. This can happen when your project settings do not match the file in your timeline. Have you tried using the “Match Media Settings Button” under project settings? This will match your project settings to your media. This improves playback framerate because less conversion is needed on the fly which eats system resources. You could also experiment with the preview monitor quality settings to see if this improves playback framerate. Lastly, is Vegas attempting to use GPU Acceleration of your graphics card. Some cards that are not up to the task can actually degrade playback framerate. I have such a card on my edit computer at work. My framerate is best with the GPU acceleration disabled. On the other hand, Vegas loves my home computers graphics card acceleration. Hope that one of these suggestions helps you out. Regards, Rick.

Just in case you want some hope, I have been using Vegas Pro 11 64bit for several months without any problems at all. Hope you can get this worked out because 11 rocks.
