Thanks Larry, I’ll go in on a test project and play with these. Steep learning curve but well worth it!

Hi guys,
Yup, the transparency was the first thing I checked. What I ended up doing was as Larry just suggested. I created a new track and dragged in a new clip and paced it on the new track, everything was as it should have been. So I then dragged the whole project up to the new track, deleted the old track and all was well. I had previously done an uninstall but as you read it brought on a new set of problems. I’ve no idea how all of this happen. As suggested, some clip may have been compromised and effected the whole track playback so am spending the day taking a closer look at the clips on the new timeline. I wish I could tell you guys exactly how this came about and exactly how it got fixed but the best I can offer is creating the new track and deleting the old one.
Again, many thanks!!,

Thanks Allen,
As you guys can imagine this was a very ugly three or four days. It almost came to the point where they had to slide the meals under the door! I can’t thank all of you enough for your help with this. Apart from the odd glitch (it is a computer program after all) I think Vegas is really fantastic and look forward to the day I can help out a struggling “newbie”!
Thanks again,
Sprague

Thanks Wade. It’s certainly crossed my mind.

Thanks to both of you for getting back to me on this! Great suggestions and I’ll give them a try. One thing I think I have figured out (and believe me, this was a long time in the discovery) it may be that the video(& audio) track(s) that I used for the project have somehow become corrupted… ? When I drag clips to tracks above the working one or below it, they play fine. It’s just that one track is extremely inconsistent. I just discovered this and will try more later tonight but in the meantime was wondering if this symptom sounded familiar to anyone?
Again, many thanks for getting back to me,

Many, many thanks!!! By the way, what would you recommend as a “non-problem” playback unit for HD? My main camera is a Canon XH A1 and I prefer to shoot 24f. I’ve a very big HD project coming up this fall and need some confidence that all will be happy.
Thanks again John, wonderful community!

Also, Vegas (or my computer) wasn’t able to open the M2T files.
