Hi John,

Thanks for your reply. I looked into your suggestions:

Multiple savings of the template doesn’t solve the problem.

My screen resolution is 125%. I set it back to 100% as you suggested, but that makes no difference.

Also rebooting the computer followed by de-installation and re-installation has no effect. The only older version of PA2 I have had installed is 2.09. Before that, I had PA1 installed.

The strange thing is that I haven’t found yet any other problem with PA2. Still I’m afraid that a re-install of Windows might be the only solution?

Hi John,

I made a screencapture for you that shows how I made a simple template with 4 slugs. It shown how I add a description for the template and how I saved it. Then it shows how I give names to the slugs and save those names. Next, you can see how the names disappear and also are gone when I open the template in PA2.

The video is here:

I hope you can see where it is going wrong! Thanks a lot for looking into this problem.

The manual that accompanies Production assistant is also very clear. But still I didn’t manage to give a name to the slugs.
In one of my previous answers, i added a Vegas project file from my template. Can you see if I did something wrong in this template? Can you add names to the slugs in my template?

Just press Ctrl L to switch off auto ripple.

I am still having the problem that I can not name the slugs in the template creator of production assistant 2. It does not work when I create a template from an existing project and not when I create a template from scratch.

I reinstalled production assistant already twice. I have version 2.0.10.28454 installed.

Can anybody confirm that it is possible to give names to slugs in the tempate creator? Or is this a known bug?

Thanks for your help!

Yes, this is exactly what I did: convert the events to slugs with the button you showed and save the template with the save button you mentioned. After that, I wanted to give the slugs a name. That part fails….

Maybe this explains what I’m doing:

I made a looping filmstrip in AE. In Vegas I imported the filmstrip and added the photographs. This Vegas project was nested into a second Vegas project where I composed the filmstrip in 3D together with some other stuff.

Then I made a template of the first Vegas file. Here I want to add names to the slugs. I will add this template to this posting, maybe that helps?

Hi John, thanks for your reply. Yes, I select only one slug each time. And yes, I did save using the save tab you were indicating. I saved many times, but it simply doesn’t work. Is this because I make the template from an existing project file?

If the audio from the camera is ‘too muddy’, you can still try the TRY REALLY HARD option. This might do the trick in your case.

That’s strange, I can not reproduce this. Do you have the Level for the upper track at 100%?
