I updated Itunes (Win64) a few days ago and it broke Quicktime and DNxHD entirely.
Had to uninstall all the Apple software, iTunes, Quicktime, and reinstall everything including a repair install of DNxHD.
I thought it was just me, but apparently the latest iTunes win64 update is messing up a lot of people.

I hope I’m not misunderstanding the question, but if I am, ignore the following advice.
Do your whole project with one target in mind, be it black=0 or black=16. Make the appropriate filter change, if necessary, when you render, by putting the effect on the master output — the effect button for that is on the preview window.
In my case, for example, I have a variety of source media. I adjust them all so black is 0 – ‘media black’ as you’re calling it. If I’m rendering for something that expects black to be lighter, like YouTube, I’ll put the “Computer RGB to Studio RBG” Levels filter on the master output at render time.

Or use blue lighting. The easiest way to get a blue lighting effect is to use blue lighting.

Just checked another render…. the ghosting is sometimes there, sometimes not.
I’m going to go through and double-check that I haven’t accidentally slightly stretched the whole nested project somehow, as it doesn’t make sense that parts would be in sync (no ghosting) and parts out. All the clips have resampling disabled, so I’m still a bit stumped.

Using build 726.

You’re looking for the “solo” function — looking at just the track you want.
Look for the button with the ! on it. Click that button on one track and you’ll see just that track in the preview window.
Also, you can change the order of tracks on the timeline. Don’t want a particular track on top? Just grab the track header (the left) and drag it down.

Just gorgeous. I wish I had a reason to have one of these, but I have more gear than time already. I’d love to shoot arena concerts with one of these.

Consider what people would’ve been shooting with in 2000. VHS? Something better like DV?
First, you’re going to crop everything to 4:3 aspect ratio. Widescreen doesn’t look 2000.
People didn’t shoot on film in 2000, so forget about flicker, sprocket hole jitter and hair in the gate. Wouldn’t make sense.
You could sprinkle in some noise, especially if it’s a dark scene.
Vegas has a Sony TV Simulator effect. Try just a little of that to add scanlines for that shot-off-a-TV-screen look.
Think about the things people try to FIX when they’re restoring older footage in the HD age, and work backwards. A tiny bit of blurriness? Less contrast? A bit of color bleed?

Trying to wrap my head around this — Vegas is getting bunged up by files that are not being read at the time? It’s gagging on events that are not being viewed at the moment, that are somewhere on the timeline away from where the cursor is?

Good advice.
At the risk of going off-topic on my own thread, Bob, can you lend any insight into what effect the “Full resolution render quality” project setting has on the end product? The default is ‘good’. What am I telling Vegas to do differently when I set it to ‘best’? It feels like an arbitrary vestige of an early version.
