Thanks James, that helped one aspect of being able to bring new insert shots into my track 1 time line by toggling in and out of that- however I still need to lock track 1 shots to track 2’s time line so that if I move track 2 and 3(audio) the track 1 shots stay locked to 2, just as the audio on 3 stays with 2 and therefore stays in sync with the picture. Is there a way to keep inserts in sync with the audio on 3, for example?
Thanks.Mims

Mike I tried to create a new folder: “Master folder”. I don’t think it happened, nothing in the help to show me how to do that step by step. Do you mind to run through that for me?
Thanks.

Thanks Mike. Unfortunately, the one I am looking for is more than 6 back. I wish I had made up that master folder you suggested-live and learn.Glad there are folks like you to help. Thanks.

I just added a lot of raw footage to my hard drives and 9.c is doing the same thing that yours is – crashing every few minutes if I move too fast. I have 3 1TB drives so you would think that would not be the cause and yet that is the only thing that has changed. Anxious for someone to solve this. 9.d?

I checked with ADK, the people that built my computer and had Eric look (Team Viewer)at my screen while in Vegas 9c, and the “label” popped up. He said it was an error code. He called it a hexadecimal error code. He tried looking for a error log in Vegas 9c but found nothing. Unless someone knows how to remove this error code from coming up I will have to contact Sony and ask them. Thanks Eric for your information, that was not the problem but thanks to you I now know how to label each shot if I need to, so that is a help. And Joe, I don’t know how to do a screen shot, but that may not be necessary since we now know that it is a Sony error code.
Thanks,Mims

When I originally started this post I was in the hopes that someone had already given my idea a try. What I have discovered instead is a rich assortment of valid reasons why a good wireless system is a much better idea, but also several have indicated how even a good system can have interference problems because of cell phones, ipods and RF interference. I suspect the latter will become even more of a problem as time goes by. Therefore I think my original thought may be a convincing one based on my experience as a film cutter. In those days we had no choice but to sync up our sound roll with our film roll via the ‘clapper’. So for me that is no hassle. Later with video editing with linear tape, if there was a sync problem we could roll two sound tracks together, listen for the echo as the two tracks got closer together and finally with the two in sync the echo would disappear. What is great about Vegas, FCP and the others is we have a visual graph of the sound track so we can just look at both to sync the sound from a digital recorder with the on-camera mic for exact match in seconds. There are certain features such a set up should have if you are doing skeleton crew or gorilla type filmmaking, one being keep it simple for the actors, so voice activated recording would be one, size another and compatibility and ease of transfer to NLE files would be the other. Sony’s latest digital recorder the PCM -10 with a street price of $ 300 is far less than any wireless system with that quality with a limitless (depending on your budget) number of tracks in the edit suite or actors with their own personal recorders. If you are doing corporate video you don’t need a sound guy or worry about fluorescence lights or other RF problems. If you are using more than two actors you don’t need a sound mixer. This recorder is as small as any of the belt clip transmitters actors wear so again no additional problems. I plan to purchase a few Sony PCM-M10s and I will report how the system works out. In the meantime if you are wondering how to meet the needs of your next video project without a lot of “sound” cash outlay, consider what I am suggesting. You may not want to spend $ 300 for this much quality for your project so you may want to shop for less expensive units by other manufacturers with similar features.

Dave, I am having similar problems so I hope we get an answer to your’s and my issue. I have 12 GB of ram so mine is not quite as bad as that but it is jumpy.

If I may…
I have the Sony SxS cards (8Gb) and have yet been able to load them into Clip Browser or Vegas Pro 9, however I have been buying Transcend 16gb cards ($36)[57mins.] without one problem after several downloads and erases. The reader/MRX card from E-Films(Aus) fits nicely into my EX 3’s slots. 32gb cards cost as much as three 16gb cards so does your shooting schedule really demand 32gb cards? If not, the Transcend cards from Amazon (class 6 – of course) work very well and at $ 36, you can have all you need for a day’s shoot without erasing until you know you are backed up in more than one place.
Just my opinion.Mims
