Thanks Steve, I’ll give that a try. Would I look for that in “Preferences”? Also what are some of the specs. I should be looking for in a new computer, if I want Full HD footage to play as smoothly as possible in the Preview Screen? And does Windows 7 have any advantages over XP Pro SP3, as far as Vegas is concerned? What about 64-bit over 32-bit? I want to get “THE” best box I can, for working with Vegas. Thanks for your advice.

What I’ve found, since posting this question originally is it’s best to convert your .flv to .avi using a converter program like Total Video Converter. https://www.freedownloadscenter.com/Multimedia_and_Graphics/Video_and_Animation_Tools/Total_Video_Converter.html
Then it’s simply a matter of loading the .avi file on to your timeline, and editing at will. Hope this helps?

Well, I was hoping you were going to try it for yourself………..just so I know I’m not going insane! But it’s ok, I was just curious. The method you outlined works as it should. Thanks again………

Thanks Steve, that worked perfectly. I thought you had to set the loop point in the General tab, in the Menu Page Properties, but I guess not. Can you confirm that if YOU set the loop point to exactly the same length as the song’s length, all your text and buttons disappear too?? Or is this just a bug in 4.0? Either way thanks for your help, it certainly works now!

Hey Jesper, do a search at YouTube of those exact words, “We’re sorry, this video is no longer Available.” and you’ll find a video on how to correct this problem. It’s easy to do and only a few steps. As far as making the best renders for YouTube, do a search on this forum for posts I’ve made, going into great detail on that subject. Or do a search at YouTube for the same thing, that’s where I got all my information from. The search button is “Your Friend!!” I would answer your questions more directly, but I don’t have time at the moment. But you’ll be able to find all the answers following those simple steps.

Ah…………….!! Thanks Steve, that worked perfectly. What threw me off, was in the Heroglyph install, it says check off Direct X for Vegas 4, 5, or 6…………being on 7.0e I didn’t think it was necessary to check that off. Irregardless, it works perfectly now…………thank you!! So ya, check off Direct X regardless of what version you are running. Lesson learned.

Thanks Steve, I’ll give it a try! Thought that was the issue, but never saw that. I’ll look more carefully this time. I’ll report back, if that resolved the issue. Thank you!

It’s still hard to understand what you mean, as I don’t see any images on top of another in those examples. What I meant was, a screen grab of the Vegas timeline and the Preview Window at the point in time where the unwanted cookie cutter is showing up. With the clips large enough to see if there is any unwanted effect on any given clip. (Green button visible) But what it has to be is, you must have placed or copied that effect on to another clip by accident. I can’t see any other way it could be happening, unless the effect is on a track above.

Hi Melissa, it sounds like what you are describing is the Repeat X or Repeat Y setting in the Cookie Cutter effect. Inside the effects box you probably slid one of those slots, so that it reads something other than 1, by accident. Causing multiple instances of the cookie cutter effect. In other words, if Repeat X has a 3 beside it and you chose the circle shape, you will now see 3 circles in a row. If both Repeat X and Y are set to 3 you will now see 3 rows vertically and 3 rows horizontally, etc. If they are both set to 1, you will only see one circle. But I could be wrong! Without being there and actually seeing it, it’s hard to be sure. Can you post a picture (printscreen) of what you’re seeing?
