Karolina,

I think Distress Signal had the same problem a few weeks ago... but he was looking to get back to that setting instead of removing it...And I can't seem to find the post where he talks about it! argh. So you might want to ask him directly.

Hey Cinthia,
thanks for the hint.

Luckily, I found it out myself what the problem was. There's a small button above the video track called "auto ripple". I must've pushed it accidentally and this caused all the problems because with this button you can move all your clips at once.

Hey I'm having the hardest time getting my track motion set to just one clip. If I have it set to one clip, it the sets it to all the clips that are being used in my video. Does anyone know how to set your track motion to only one clip, without it going crazy and going to the rest?

I have two questions and I apologize if any of these have been answered before.

1. I just made my first Vegas video (Lost opning credits). If you watch the video, you will see that the screen size changes constantly. I fixed most of it with the Cropping Tool, but with some of it, like the black bars on top and bottom of the clip did not change. And furthermore, when I rendered it, a lot of cropping got mucked up. Is there any way to make every clip the same size and have the entire video look nice and professional looking?

2. How do I get a watermark on? What I had to do was put in the titles of the Lost actors and then I rendered it. After I imprted the saved file, I placed in another title and stretched it to the length of the video. But isn't there an option specifically for watermarks without having to render it twice?

Thanks so much for any and all help.

Thank you so much, AP.

Morning Theft: I'd say that that should definitely be possible. I'm presuming you mean that the full motion video will come to a stop, we'll pull back and see that it's a still pic in a polaroid "frame." (If you want to have a polaroid frame with moving video inside of it, that's another thing all together.

)

If it wouldn't be too much trouble, could you explain how to do that also, and thanks for explaining my original question

Maybe my question looks very stupid, and maybe it's already asked, but I didn't read all the pages, so...

My problem is that I can't import episodes in Vegas 6 because they are avi. I used the FourCC Codec Changer, put in the boxes DIVX and pressed 'Apply'. I try to import them again and it still doesn't want to work.

I've red some things about encoding them to 'wmv' or something, but how do you do that?

PS: I'm sorry if my question is already answered before, but because I just am in my second year English at school (I'm 14 years old) I don't understand all of it perfectly

Thanks for the quick responding (just like in the WMM help topic

)

I first thought to do that as well, but maybe there was some way around it, because it will take very long, won't it? I've got all the season 1, 2 and 3 episodes until now... Man, that's going to take long!

You're very welcome!

Unfortunately, yes, it'll take quite a while.

I had to do my first season eps like that because the computer I had at the time had a pretty small hard drive and I couldn't store the full sized eps together at one time.

So I rendered them down with WMM just so I could have access to them! This was before I even had Vegas but when I did get it, I just continued rendering down my eps into WMV so that all of my footage would be the same, quality-wise.

What I had to do was divide each ep into 5 pieces (about 8 - 9 minutes a piece) and render them as parts 1 - 5 because I didn't have much success getting WMM to render 44 - 45 minutes at one time.

(Although I DID come up with some very amusing "rendering mistakes," such as scenes being out of order and things like that!

)

Sorry I don't have any better -- and less time-consuming! -- advice! Maybe somebody else will know of something you can try!

Back again!

I was beginning to get Sony Vegas a bit, so I decided to import all of the episodes that I have until now (season 1 is not ready downloading yet

). But every time I want to import 2x06: Abandoned, Vegas freezes and I have to close it. Every time. Other episodes work perfectly, only that episode has a problem.

Do I have to download it again or something else? I may need this episode for future vids
