john,
still trying to work this out.
i rendered the project straight to dvd — audio is perfect.
so that means, somewhere while rendering to whatever format i’m using (so far mov and sony avc), the audio is askew.
does that give you any insight?
thanks
tom

tried invert phase.
still the same.
i checked some of the fx settings — none are checked (gate, eq and compressor).
and all of the properties settings are identical to the last working project.
upon further review (with headphones), i believe the entire audio only track has the phase problem.
audio attached to video is fine.
so, i closed this project down, recorded some audio, added a new track in a new project and rendered it.
same problem.
i was thinking perhaps uninstalling and reinstalling (although i’d rather not — but sometimes you just have to do what you have to do).
that or stick a piece of video

(EDIT TO THIS POST)
i just tried the “add video w/audio track” option i mentioned above — still the same problem.
wouldn’t that lead you to think “it must be a bad piece of audio.”
well, it sounds fine in preview.
and it sounds fine when i play it as a standalone with vls.
so, i’ve, it seems, pinned it down to occurring when the project is rendered.
rendered it as a mov prior.
changed to sony avc — same problems.
(rendering to 16:9 hd 30p — audio setting for this are default @ aac, 48,000Hz, 128k bit rate, stereo coding mode).

i’m at a loss.

that or stick a piece of video w/audio after the end of the project – ungroup that piece, delete the video and use the audio track.

youtube features a ton of really bad videos on how to convert the disk, this one is actually good.
good luck.

Norman,

Do you want the video to come up in say a google search for a product or a website?
or do you just want the video to get found at the respective host site?

(adding relevant keywords help for both btw.)

simply uploading your video to several sites helps really well for google optimization.
just space out the uploads — one a day or so — so as to not look like a bot or spammer.
also, change your keywords up (try using spyntax).

for what it’s worth, youtube has a not terribly well-known, but very effective keyword tool.
if say a competitor has a video, you snag that address, plug it into the youtube keyword tool, and it’ll spit back the competitor’s keywords.

I found one of your other posts that advised to render to the Sony mp4 format. I did. Worked fine.
Eevn more odd, I rendered to wmv again and different segments went black.
I’ve been using 8.0 for two years or so – I looked around for oddities on settings.
Couldn’t find a thing.
However, all is well using other formats.
Thanks for the quick reply.
I was able to help someone with an audio problem in the meantime.

i use audacity as my default audio editor.
here’s how i make the mono file stereo (well, not true stereo but you at least have audio in right and left)
right click — open copy in audio editor (have to set that up audacity as default aud editor prior)
audacity launches with the mono file
highlight the mono file — and copy it
go to “project” tab and select “new audio track”
click in the new box and paste
go to file “export as wav”
warning comes up that your project will be mixed down to two stereo files in the exported file. click ok.
save it wherever.
go back to vegas
import new audio.
ungroup old audio from video
delete old audio
move new audio to timeline and line it up.
works like a charm
hope this helps.
