Yeah it's a pain. But luckily, Vegas has multiple undos so it is not a serious problem (and it's not forever unless you exit from the project without noticing).

Must be that time of the month for you, young lady -- none of us experience that problem.

Multiple undo to the Rescue!

Another good practice is versioning. Save a new copy of the Vegas project as you go along.

In fact, versioning might be a nice feature. Probably could be done in a script.

It has little to do with if or not others experience the things you nitpick constantly, rather learning how to effectively use the application which obviously you haven't, at least not to the degree you get the critize it which is basically all you do.

Want my opinion on what your main problem is Zippy? Probably not, but I'll tell you anyway:

You're still a NEWBIE to Vegas and instead of learning from more experienced users you prefer to rant, yell and accuse every time you hit a little bump. What makes you posts funny to read is with all the mindless screaming you do that Vegas is broke or doesn't do things the way you would like all that noise shows is you still haven't learned the finer points of using the application. At least 80-90% of what you've complained about is human error. YOUR errors, or lack of understanding of how to PROPERLY do things, yet not once have you admitted as much and say you're sorry even after such errors have been pointed out to you.

Asking questions is fine. Screaming this is broke or such and such doesn't work is really little more than YOU not being in control of your temper. Its juvenile, disruptive and counterproductive.

As far as this particular "problem"; accidently erasing a volume envelope, I got to say anyone that spends hours doing anything (what you claimed) in any application and doesn't save their work every 5-10 minutes is a damn fool. If you would have, no matter what bone-headed thing you done at best you would have lost a few minutes changes. If you noticed you deleted something or done anything you didn't want to do Vegas has multiple undo which is there to save your butt when you do dumb things. If you exited the application without first checking something was missing, sorry, again that's human error.

Even your complaint is silly. How is any application to know if or not you meant to delete something or not? Again, we're talking the human eletement. YOU made the mistake, yet you try to blame the appliation for following and doing what you told it to do. How nuts is that?

While Vegas could be programmed to pop up a confirmation box anytime you cut or delete, in this type of application where much of what you do it cutting and deleteing it would tend to get in the way and itself becoming annoying. Again everything points to you Zippy not really understanding the application. Or just maybe you're reckless by nature.

What change would you suggest?

I guess Zippy's going to kidnap the developers and make them do it HIS way! Madison, be on the alert!

It is not that easy, you have to right clight the track and then selevt the voulme and well it's not easey. But having said that I to found that if you do it that way to remove the envolope you loose all your work. So i read the manula nd found that pressing V will remove the envolope on the trach high lighted and V will bring it back complete with points. the other is P for Pan...

Please ZP make your subjects look as though you have a problem rather then blame the machine. As we say int he Uk a bad workam always blames his tools.

Zippy said, "Mark my words. Next version update will have a much needed change in this area."

So you DO work for Sony after all!

He could of stolen the sourcecode. It'a a popular hing now a days (to steal from a developer). :)

I'm not seeing how it's easy to accidentally remove a volume envelope at all-let alone remove one permanently. Maybe you should give specifics because I'd rather not waste time guessing.

It seems pretty hard to do it by accident and I don't see any obvious need for it to be addressed, ever.

Specifics?

Rob Mack

Hmm...I'm trying it with 4.0d. Right click, remove envelope, do seven or 8 more things, then undo until the envelope comes back. All the points are intact.

You're losing your points? How do you make vegas do that?
