Glad it’s working for you. I haven’t used it in quite awhile and not with V13. Good to know it works with latest version.

Then create a new folder named “Application Extensions” (without quotation marks) in the Vegas Pro folder and place the .dll and .png files in that folder. By doing so, those extensions would be available to any other versions of Vegas that you might have.

Place the .dll and .png files in the following location:

C:\Users\{your name}\AppData\Roaming\Sony\Vegas Pro\Application Extensions

Restart Vegas and you should see DaviTools under View|Extensions|DaviTools VideoWall. Good luck.

Given the fact it affects all versions of Vegas, it is most likely NOT a Vegas problem. Any idea how long this has been happening? If so, try a system restore to some point before. Whenever Microsoft does an update, it usually creates a restore point. If you can find a restore point on a date prior to when the problems began, you should be able to do a system restore. Hopefully that will eliminate the problem update.

See if this works for you. It’s free.

So, how exactly am I supposed to fix this?

If your source footage has an aspect of ratio of 1.6 and you want to render to a widescreen 16:9 template, there are only 3 options: (1) crop the top and bottom of the source footage so that the screen is filled; (2) live with the black bars on either side of the image; or (3) stretch the image in the horizontal so that the screen is filled in which case the image is distorted. Those are the only options. In the future, make sure that you capture/record the image with a widescreen 16:9 aspect ratio to start with and you won’t have this problem.

Try this. Copy and save to a text file with a .cs extension. Then add to your script folder. I tested this in V9, V10, V12, and V13 and it seems to work. As written, it is set for an offset of .5 sec and length of 1.0 sec. These values can be changed.


/*
AddRegionAroundCursor.cs
This script adds a region around the cursor. The user must specify both the region offset (region start time before the cursor) and
length of the region in milliseconds. (Lines 18 and 19)

using Sony.Vegas;
using System;

namespace AddRegionAroundCursor
{
public class EntryPoint
{
public void FromVegas(Vegas vegas)
{
Double offset = 500; //number of milliseconds before cursor
Double length = 1000; //length of region in milliseconds
Timecode cursor = vegas.Transport.CursorPosition;
Timecode regionstart = cursor - Timecode.FromMilliseconds(offset);
Timecode regionlength = Timecode.FromMilliseconds(length);
Region newRegion = new Region(regionstart,regionlength);
vegas.Project.Regions.Add(newRegion);
}
}
}

Have a look at this thread.

Try resetting Vegas by starting with Ctrl-Shift keys depressed. If that doesn’t work, then I’d try to re-install Vegas completely.

There was no GPU support in Vegas 9 so that’s not the issue. Are you using Windows 10 by chance? Seems to me I recall other threads with this same problem in Win 10. Don’t know the solution, but a search might be worthwhile.

Mohammed,

Enjoyed your tutorials and some of the work on your website–a most entertaining way of presenting lyrics. It also illustrates the power of Vegas for compositing and 3D modeling. One question–how did you embed the link on your YT videos? There was a similar question awhile back on the forum and I don’t recall seeing an answer. In any case, thanks for posting your work.
