‘It doesn’t seem to work with vegas pro 9.0d x64 :’

On my computer it works with excalibur and Vegas pro 9d 64bits. Even the length of the events is not affected…

AE could do this, but if you would like to stay within Vegas, you can use the Boris FX plugin.

‘Yea, and actually “Render to new Track (Ctrl+M)” is not a ‘mimic’ it is exactly what flatten layers is.’

RENDER TO NEW TRACK in Vegas is even better than FLATTEN LAYERS in photoshop, since the FLATTEN LAYERS command looses all the layers while they stay intact in the RENDER TO NEW TRACK command, ready to make any change afterwards.

Did you activate the ‘reduce interlace flicker’ option?

Theo

‘Flatten Layers’ can be easily mimicked by using nested projects or ‘render to new track (Ctrl M).
