I am having audio problems when rendering regions with muted audio and video tracks.
What I am doing when this happens is:
1. I am rendering regions.
2. I have 2 or 3 video tracks with all but one muted.
3. I have 3 or 4 audion tracks with all but one muted.
What I am doing is syncronizing 2 or 3 camcorder video/audio tracks and one DAT audio track. I then add markers for seperate takes and render the take region for each of the video tracks with the DAT track. One I was doing recently had about 10 takes using 3 cameras.
I mute all the audio tracks except the DAT track. Then for each take, I render as a region each camera to a seperate AVI file.
I never have any problems with the video. I render each camera for the first take, open a second session of Vegas 4 and preview the files be verify they are rendering correctly. These first three had a few seconds of garbled audio and then no audio. I then deleted these renders, went back to my main session and cycled the mute switch in the DAT track a few times and re-rendered the three cameras. This time I got good audio. I always seem to have muting problems with only the first rendered set.
On to the other takes, some rendered fine, some garbled. I experimented with cycling the muting of both video and audio tracks. Saving the session, closing V4 and then reopening. Randomly I was able to get good audio, but I could not see anything whch I did that would correct things consistantly.
As I am going through the session, I am marking the ends of a take, then rendering each of the three cameras and then marking the next take and renderng it and so on.
When I do get a good or bad render, it is for all three camers.
I have had the problem on several projects now with the same type symptoms.
If I render the entire session, I don't have the problem, only when rendering regions, with tracks muted.
The garbled audio sounds like the track is being played backwards, but I have played the garbled AVI files backward and it doesn't make it correct.
