“what the name is for that vertical line on the timeline that moves along as it plays back “
It’s called the Play Head. (Some call it a Play Line).
Why? To make the transition from linear tape-based editing a bit easier for us old farts who were editing before PCs.
As Mike said, if you click ON an event, the marker moves. If you click outside of any events (above or below, it doesn’t matter) you move the play head.

E:\Documents\Sony\Vegas\Scripts\ProjectPathToClipboard.cs(14) : The name ‘Clipboard’ does not exist in the current context
E:\Documents\Sony\Vegas\Scripts\ProjectPathToClipboard.cs(18) : The name ‘MessageBox’ does not exist in the current context
E:\Documents\Sony\Vegas\Scripts\ProjectPathToClipboard.cs(18) : The name ‘MessageBoxButtons’ does not exist in the current context
E:\Documents\Sony\Vegas\Scripts\ProjectPathToClipboard.cs(18) : The name ‘MessageBoxIcon’ does not exist in the current contextWhat’s missing?

I have always had good response from SCS support, but, then, I don’t ask them to fix my PC.
As far as product suggestions, they apparently collect them in aggregate. Meaning if ten or fifteen users ask for the same thing, they may look into adding it in a future release.Steve Mann

I am not sure you can do it in a script, but have you sent a product suggestion to Sony?

OK, got it.
I’m still bummed about the license term changes.Steve Mann

I don’t see that. The PC running Vegas is going to get the .sf* files regardless if the source media is read only or RW.
Sounds like an experiment is in order….

Should not. Sony’s licensing terms are very generous and long-term users like myself cherish and guard the policy of installing your software on a second PC as long as only one is used at a time.
Also, I did not realize much savings in time at the end of the project.

Why does the media have to be read-only? Vegas is non-destructive and never writes to the original media files. I have done exactly what the OP suggested, but it was so much easier to just copy the media to the second PC. BTW, to the OP: the second PC was running Vegas 11 and the main machine was V12. You cannot run two copies of your single license at the same time.

Well, HOW does your PC crash? Do you get a blue screen? Does it turn off? Does it turn into a MAC?

Personally, I’ve never had good luck with AMD graphics cards. And it will be a very long time, if ever, before I install Windows 8 on my editing PC. You can always add SSD and more RAM, but you should probably buy a higher-capacity power supply if you do add hardware.
Or you could just build your own PC and get more RAM, larger HDD and SSD for the same money.
