Annoying little Vegas 8 bug

Of course, "little" is relative.

At least three times now, I've made changes on a timeline which were not reflected in a render.

Meaning, I go to the timeline, make a change, render, and then the rendered file is as though I never made the change.

There was no prerendering involved.

Twice it occurred as part of a batch render, the kicker being that some of the resulting files reflected changes that were made, and some did not.

And these weren't minor changes; these were instances where five seconds or more were removed and it rendered with those seconds still in the footage.

Nothing like that ever happened with earlier versions. (True, Vegas 4 did like to toss in random frames from other sections of the timeline now and then, but I haven't seen that for some time.)

I found a slight wararound is to change the nested filename, resolve the name difference, then change it back, if need be and/or delete the temporary render file (forget the name right now), this forces Vegas to do a new "re-render" and thus generate a new file to replace the one you just deleted.

I don't think I've had this is Vegas 8, but I did have this in Vegas 7, and maybe even 6 if it had nested veg's, which I think it did.

Nothing nested, no prerenders.
