Hi Robert,
The only way I have been successful in applying an effect from the library is as follows.
1) Create text and highlight the track.
2) Open Library browser in template mode
3) Highlight chosen template.
4) Click Insert Text button.
5) Change back to Advanced Modeand Voila

You are most welcome, this can be a bit confusing, Vegas does have an Easter egg or two.

HI, it is possible to make a track the child of a layer above. In this way several child layers can be affected by the parent track be it movement in 3d space or color adjustment to all the child layers and yes even go so far as to add light wrap to a group of children tracks.

Thanks Mark, it is nice to have the answer to these simple little things. Especially since it is soooo easy to to dismiss the prompt by accident.Russ Froze

Well there’s the rub isn’t it. Those clever little wordsmiths in the communications department have done it again. The truth is that even if your camera has an 8 bit output the external recorder will record at 8 bit 4:2:2 whereas the sd card is most likely to record 8 bit 4:2:0. So technically there is a gain in the color space so the claim of improved recording is true, technically.
Now as to what the camera signal out is. That is a question many would love to get a straight answer to. Until recent camera releases where manufacturers have stated and proven the hdmi out. There has been a reluctance to come up with a straight answer. The short story is that up to recent releases consumer and prosumer cameras with hdmi out were meant to be viewed on 8 bit interlaced monitors and or TV sets. Most but not all cameras adhere to this so it comes down to the model number. Fist thing to assess is if the camera output is 29.796 progressive or 59.976 interlaced. If it is 59.976 I or 60I it is unlikely to be a 10 bit signal. Now I state unlikely. I have to put this in as a disclaimer for the debate will be rekindled and I wish to stay out of it. If the output is of a progressive nature there is a chance it may be a 10 bit signal. Again I state that it may be.
The only way I know for sure is to plug the camera in question into my field monitor and let it hunt for the signal and look at the settings when a connection has been made. That is the only advice I have to offer, find someone who has a field monitor that accepts all the signals and take it from there. If any one else has a suggestion(s) please share the info.

The file on the sd card will probably be 8 bit. When recording to via HDMI the file will be recorded at 10 bit unless the camera outputs 8 bit via HDMI out. There should be a lot more information in the colors, no banding etc. If your camera has a 10 bit HDMI out.

That’s weird, I’m having issues with Veg 13 install and since I don’t have the time to shut down my edit suite i won’t be running Veg 13 until I re tool hardware.
Thanks for the checking it out for me.

[Stephen Mann] “opened an existing project, added a veg file to track #1”
Hi Stephan, would you try to recreate an issue I am experiencing with Vegas 12. Simply add the Sony newsprint plug to anything in Vegas, then embed it in another instance of Vegas. In my case Vegas crashes so I’m curios.

Are you using any plugins in the nested video file? I have found some of the native Sony plugs cause Vegas to crash when nested. How very strange that is. For my installation the newsprint plug crashes Vegas when used in a nested file.
