Two of the major causes for this is a slow, cluttered computer
And having other processes running in the background
or application open.

Suzy,
Simply auto hide your taskbar, and when it sinks out of view
you will see your pan crop window…and you can drag it back up.
(right click the task bar..then properties…then tick
‘auto-hide the taskbar’).

You are not selecting widescreen when rendering.
When rendering use “DVD Architect NTSC Widescreen video stream”,
then go in custom on the audio tab & tick ‘include audio stream’.

Beats? I think you are referring to Sony Acid. Acid is the
tool that makes beats and create your musical compositions.

Hope i understand you correctly.
If you want the text clip to move within the video
as the camera moves, have the text clip extended to the full
length of the video and yes keyframes is what you would need
to use. If you take the time do it precisely you will have
excellent results….(vegas keyframing ability is top notch).

Hi there again Bruce,
Unfortunately i have never really experienced the problem you
described…..So iam just relating some info….nowadays i use
“winDV” to do most captures. Yes winDV. It is an amazing little
tool that surprised me some years back when i started using it,
because i had problems with dropped frames and
some other issues from all other methods
and am still using it. This free little application does not hitch.

Simply go to the left of the timeline that the text clip is on
and select “track motion”, In there you easily resize your text
clip and manipulate it anywhere you want in your video.

Hey Bruce,
“You’ve been in the industry from 1976”, (around when i started walkin)……
Trust Me, thats a long and accomplished career,i can only fathom the experiences
gained and the vast changes in this
industry that you have seen throughout.

Here is the thing….the luminance key in the mask generator can
be tricky to get right at times, and for certain fx, takes a lot
of tweaking to get there, as you are probably experiencing. So
alternately if you want to show detail in the darker areas of
your shot, you can use the “color curves” or the “levels” filter,
not many realize the value of these filters. Try it, i am sure
with a few tweaks you can get your shots looking
the way you want…probably no need to go
through the extra steps for keying….let
me know if these Help.
