There are different kinds of avi files. DV avi probably being the most common and the least troublesome. But many cameras put out other avi files. avi is a wrapper that the encoded file is placed in. I have heard many people stste that and I repeat it often but I am not really certain what that means. But I do know there are several types of avi files.
My bet is that you are missinga codec for your type of avi file. First, what is the source of the file. That may be a clue as to what type it is. Also you can download a free utility called GString that can tell you what codec was used and whether you have it on your computer. That would be a starting point. Or you could use another free program called Super that can convert your avi into about anything you want (I would recommend DV.avi)and may be more user friendly. Hope these ideas help you out. -
If y9ou put the two avi on the time line end to end you canprint to tape or render to a new avi, render to a new track as a single avi. Just make sure the format you render to has both video and audio.

I thinkI would probably downrez the Hd to SD in the camera when I am capturing. Then make sure that the project properties match the clip properties (lower field first etc) Sounds like you are having interlacing and fiels order problems.

What size and format are your stills?

Many different ways depending oni what you are trying to accomplish. If you are using the same movement on all pictures (ie a pan or a zoom) you can set up one and right click and copy. Themn highlight all the others at one time and right click and paste event attributes. Or if you are using the full Vegas version you can use a script to automatically place the pictures add various movements and it will be done automatically.(Look up Excaliber and Ultimate S)

It sounds like your keyframes for the movement are not set right. The final keyframe needs to be at the end of the video event (the picture). Should keep moving until tyhe end which will be within your transition.

In Vegas 8Pro the trimmer preview window is entirely separate from the video preview window..
Place an event on the time line. Place you curser in the middle of the event. The still image of the frame that your curser is one should show up in the video preview window. If it does not, what does show in the video preview window? If you can’t see a video preview window, go to view>preview and make sure it is checked. If it is checked look for a tab in the docked windows entitled preview and click on it. It is resizable both is size and resolution. If all you see is a black screen then what kind of an event are you trying to view. You might not have an acceptabel codec for it. Or you may have that track muted (see the switches in the track header)Unmute it or push solo. Now do you see it? Get back to us. and Merry Christmas.

Depending on how much finger is involved (by the way, which finger is it) you could use pan and crop to zoom in just enough to eliminate it. If you remember the overscan of most tvs you might not have to go as far as you think.

Open still in pan and crop. Right click the photo in the pan and crop window and click on match output aspect.
