OK then…in that folder there should be two installation icons,
one name “setup” and another. Click the other (probably named
differently on your system) and you should see the “Maintenance
Wizard” installation pop up.

Thats Odd!
Try initiating the “maintenance wizard” by going to your
“sony setup” folder in “my programs” and in the vegas 8
folder click on “vegas80_enu” and follow the instructions.
I am hoping things will fall back into place after this.
Let me know.

Thats the spirit Philippe.!!!
Nostrodamus said that in the not too distant future Vegas
will be the leader and film makers tool of choice across the
industry.

Those are some very good points Charles…you are
absolutely right.

Therefore, here is the best advise i would give:
For sony vegas users who are, and in the future will be
seeking a fulfilling & lucrative career in the job market,
learn and master Final cut or Avid along with your
continued use with Vegas (the basics are already learned).
For others who run there own show…well, Vegas is the path
to the light. lol

What format is the project that is on the timeline?
and
What WMV template are you trying to render out to?

It cannot be changed…Final cut Pro is what it is and
sony vegas is what it is. Everyone is free to choose whatever
application they feel more comfortable using, unfortunately
most in the broadcast industry are disillusioned that Final
Cut Pro is the “Holy Grail” of NLE’s.
It has its strong points and weak points just like every
professional editing software on the market.

I am fully aware of the job market requiring Final Cut
experienced editors (nothing is wrong learning final cut,
it’s not rocket science) But unlike you Philippe,
I have no regrets investing in Sony vegas, nor in the future
will there ever be any.

You are welcome…..

No it shouldn’t. If everything is initially
lined up properly you should not be seeing
any text or buttons disappearing.
