Peter, I converted the avi file to another avi file using the default NTSC DV codec on the Any Video Converter app.

It’s a workaround but at least the new avi file now opens up in Vegas 12.

This avi file will open in VP8 on an older Win XP 32 bit system.

Is the problem due to the fact that I have VP12 64 bit on Win 7?

I read this thread….

and Im wondering if installing the codec suggested in the thread will solve the probem…

Thanks.

Bob,

This is the basic workflow for a project in an AV post-prod class I am teaching with Vegas.

The video (a class project)has been shot and edited and this avi file is given to three other teams for additional editing work in Vegas: the Dialogue/ADR team, the Foley team, and the SFX/Music team. These teams are working simultaneously and once each team has finished their work, they pass on their respective Vegas project folders to the Mixing/Mastering Team.

The Mixing/Mastering team has to now merge (nest?) these three projects into one Mixing/Mastering Vegas file for final tweaks. We’d like to have this final file with all the audio tracks (with all volume and pan envelopes intact) from the three previous files as separate audio tracks, and not just three stereo mixed tracks.

D. Eric,

This is what I am doing right now…copying the entire contents of a project into another project to get all the audio on separate tracks.

At first, the volume and pan envelopes wouldn’t copy and paste until I realized that the “lock envelopes to events” tool should be activated on the copied project. Unfortunately, the track names aren’t copied too, so all copied tracks are namesless.

It’s a workaround, but at least I am able to insert audio into separate tracks.

Thanks.

I have 7, 8 and 9 Pro on my machine as well as DVDA 4 & 5 and everyone plays together nicely :-)”

Thanks Mike.

[Jeremy Rasnic] “And once you save it in pro9 you cannot open it in any previous version of Vegas.”

Jeremy.

I was afraid of that. A co-worker of mine did some edits in Vegas Pro 9, and now the file won’t open in Vegas 8 which is the version we still have in the office studio.

Is there a way to save a Vegas Pro 9 file so that it can be opened in version 8?

Or can we have both versions 8 and 9 installed in the same desktop?

Thanks again.

[Vic Santiago]

Thank you very much, Mike.

Hi Edward,

How do I access your newsletters?

Thank you,

Thanks again, Douglas.

I just rendered the intro file and inserted that into the main project’s timeline.

Of course, any further edits on the intro required me to render again and insert, etc.

[Vic Santiago]

Thanks Douglass, that solved the problem.

After saving the intro veg file, I then opened the main video veg file, and dragged the intro veg file as a nested veg file.

During playback however, the intro portion was not smooth, i.e., the pan/crop and track motion settings were “choppy” and seemed to “stutter”.

Is this normal behaviour for nested files? Will the intro portion playback smoothly when I render the main file?

Thanks again,

Vic
