It’s a less elegant and integrated method, so I am still wondering if anyone else knows a plugin or better built-in way?
-
There really is no built-in way to do it other than make a round-trip to an external editor like Sound Forge?
It seems like an odd and wonky limitation.

An intriguing suggestion. Thanks Jerry, I’ll give this a go!

Thanks guys! My followup thoughts:
@Stephen That makes sense to me but here’s a tricky thing: I want each of the four “picture in picture” clips to originally encompass the entire canvas, then zoom out and slide into each corner. So with a Photoshop layer on the top layer, looks like I’d have to fade that in at the right time.
@Danny I’ll try some experimenting with that, although I was hoping for a more stylized and aesthetically striking approach (hence my mention of “glow”). I’ve also looked into existing tools like VideoWall, although I haven’t found the flexibility I’d like — is there a more advanced borders plugin with keyframing? (I’ve found various one for Photoshop, but seems to be a gap in the video market?)

Acknowledged, thanks John! I think more video FX need to be better designed to allow for smooth transitioning in and out.

Each and all of you rock, and I’m honored to learn from your experiences. Thanks for helping me problem-solve this.
A couple related curiosities for now:
(1) What should I do if an effect has no apparent “Reset To None”? As in, despite adjusting sliders and other controls, some of the effect is always visible? Is there a way to automate enabling the effect in the chain? (As I’m used to doing in Ableton Live.)
(2) Is it a general rule that “Reset To None” is the same as having a plugin bypassed? In other words, if the effect isn’t visibly showing, no additional processing is taking place and it saves CPU power? Sometimes with 3rd-party plugins the answer seems to be no, as the preview becomes choppier even without visible effecting, but I haven’t found coding guidelines or other specs to substantiate this.

Thx for sharing the announce!
I’m really excited to see how “GPU-Accelerated AVC Encoding” will perform. GPU-accelerated video encoders I’ve used so far (like Badaboom) have provided a painful mixed bag: much quicker speed but lesser quality or inflexible format settings, when this shouldn’t be the case. Vegas finally fixed some longtime AVC bugs recently (like the infamous “can’t seek” issue, at last patched in 9.0d, although MainConcept-encoded AVC still isn’t hinted/suited for within-seconds playback) so things are hopefully on a smoother road.

Bingo! Thanks so much Graham and Mike — that’s one very repetitive series of steps removed from my workflow.
The Disable Resampling is less of a deal; would be nice to do it, but at least I’ve ruled it out as a “feature I couldn’t find” in the meantime.
Thanks again.

I’m on Vegas Pro 9.0, thanks for asking.

I hope this can be improved, yes — it’s a UI limitation which doesn’t make sense, since the overall window can be expanded.
