Thanks I'm more looking for a way to have them not be created at all. This is a quick way to collapse them which is great. But my issue is with the time it takes to create them in the first place, this is what I would like to prevent.

Did you try that setting?

Yeah that just makes it so when you click out of the selected area it disappears. I'm looking for a way to have them just not created at all. Since it is that selection process that stalls my machine. It's one of the few tasks in Vegas that give me problems. And the fact that it is automatic and occurs so frequently in my workflow, I was just hoping there would be a way to disable it completely.

Sorry, not that I know, but I'm only a hobby editor and it not barders me.

“Since it is that selection process that stalls my machine.”

If that’s your only complaint, maybe you should be discussing your hardware?

I'm trying to figure out how to disable something. That is the problem. I am looking for a way to turn the problem off.

I can also change my workflow or just switch to like premier or something.

That would not solve the actual problem of Vegas automatically selecting stuff with no way of disabling it.

I sense your frustration. I suspect the behavior is in the DNA of Vegas and you won't be able to turn it off. I've been wrong before, but I've seen it since Sound Forge 4.5, probably longer.

Playback loop is good for VFX's keyframe adjustment by playback over and over.

At present in vegas you can't disable this feature.

There's a spot on the timeline right above the time or frame markings where if you click and drag it will create a selection. I am able to create a selection perfectly fine using the I and O keys. But for some reason when creating a selection by clicking and dragging it causes lag. And to add insult to injury it happens to be in an area prone to accidental and unintentional selection. Which occurs either by moving your cursor and just holding it a little too long, when dragging your timeline and clicking that spot instead, or sometimes just clicking while previewing your project will create a selection as well. These are just some of the ways it happens unintentionally. Which is why I was looking for a way to turn it off.
