The mov file in Track 12 in the juice-d project can be found in:
...\DigitalJuice\Juicer 3\Catalog\R2GSVPRO_V03INS\Golden Memories\Golden Memories Sources

If you drop that .mov into Vegas or into VLC, at 5s you will see the ghost image. So the ghost text is in their “shipped” (un-juice-d) file.

I should have drawn the arrows better in my sample, but the shadow of the “Main Title” is visible in both windows.

Like I said earlier, DJ used components of CTK 3 and maybe some others to make the R2G projects. I can just take a CTK 3 Surface Tension .mov and substitute it and the problem “goes away”.

Steve,

Steve Rhoden can see it.
You don’t need the same frame as it is a fade out.
Check here:

Scroll down to Golden Memories and play it. ~5s you’ll see “Main Title” fade out as Video Holder 1 is fading in.

Now look at my image. Look at the Preview, right around the left-center you can see the outline of the “M”. Look at VLC, around the left-center you can see the same “M” (of Main Title).

> don’t know what your finished project *should* look like
With the R2G … you replace the text in the Sony Text objects and the media in Video Holder #. So if I do that, I see the text (eg)
FooBar

with “Main Title” in the back.

That’s wrong …

Hopefully you can see:
1. Track 12 in Vegas is solo-d and at 5s, there’s text in the preview window.
2. The file used, 094_GoldenMemories_CP_HD_Layer2.mov is in VLC. At 5s, the text is there too.
3. The Explorer window shows the file in question. That EXACT file is in the Juicer library … same name, size, contents, etc.

Me thinks the “Main Title” is inside the .mov file.
Clear as mud!?
;-*

This text formatter is just plain weird … one more try:

> Did you make the MOV file from Juicer?

Yes. However, if you compare the file from the R2G source:
...\Juicer 3\Catalog\R2GSVPRO_V03INS\Golden Memories\Golden Memories Sources
with the exported (“juice-d”) files:
...\DigitalJuice\Ready2Go\GoldenMemories\1080-30p_v1
there are two files exactly the same:
094_GoldenMemories_CP_HD_Layer2.mov

If you drop that into (eg) VLC, pause it at 5s, you see the ghost text “Main Title“. Thus, I’m inclined to suspect it didn’t get there via the Juicer, but rather was mistakenly merged into the background HD Layer2 .mov file.

Also, I probably can take a Compositor’s Toolkit 3 Surface Tension .mov, trim and replace it and all should be ok. But … it is annoying nonetheless.

Thank you Stephen! I will give this a try.

First, 1440×1080 is not 16:9; it is 4:3

I don’t see why you can’t use your footage directly in Vegas. You could make a final target that is 1920×1080 or 1280×720 or 720×480, etc. In all cases, you need to set the Track Motion so that the track’s media is correctly set for your destination.

E.g., if your target is 1920×1080 and you insert a 1280×720 clip, set the Track Motion keyframe to 1280×720 (so it won’t “blow up” the clip). If you’re putting a 1920×1080 clip into a 720×480 (not widescreen) track, then leave the Track Motion at 720×480. Vegas will automatically put the black bars top/bottom as it fits the 1920×1080 16:9 clip into a 720×480 3:2 frame.

Have you tried rendering just the audio. E.g., render to .wav. Test the wav in another player (vlc, wmp, etc.). Put the rendered file back into your project and mute the original audio tracks. Playback the problem area(s). I would be surprised if the rendered wav has a missing gap; I’ve never seen this happen.

Do you have a need to use Windows Mucked-up Video format? You’ll get much better results if you use one of:
a. MainConcept MPEG-2
b. QuickTime 7
c. Sony AVC/MVC

Vegas can render progressive video, or not. It rendered what you asked it to. Did you check the rendered video to see if it is progressive?
