There is a lot of information missing to be able to help seriously.

For now:
Which Vegas version? Which build?
Which media files - Mediainfo
Which plugins are used?

He is asking about FX, what MediaInfo got to do with that.

FX are usually applied to media.
At least from me.

@walter-i. You need some sleep buddy

Vegas Forum's own Alex has a heat wave tutorial , Not sure if this helps, or you still have the same problem as far as extending or looping effect. If it's his tutorial you were watching you can ask him, username @alifftudm95

Assuming that the OP is referring to VEGAS FX Wave, and assuming that the OP has activated animation in the FX window, the animation (movement) will continue for the length of the video event if the timeline at the bottom of the FX window (when animation has been selected) has a keyframe at the beginning of the timeline and a keyframe at the end of the timeline - each with different settings. From what the OP has described, it may possibly be that the end keyframe is positioned on the timeline well before the end of the timeline. This could occur if the animation is actioned on the video event but the video event is later extended in length - the end keyframe will remain at the original event end point. Also, below the Wave timeline is a codable length field which can be manually coded with the actual length of the video event on the Vegas Pro timeline just in case the Wave FX didn't update the length as per Vegas Pro's timeline.

Re animation/keyframing - the same approach in principle apples to most other FX including 3rd party VFX.

FXHome ignite Pro plugin has an excellent Heat Wave Effect filter.... If you are looking for a plugin option!

Thanks everybody for you reply. Sorry for the lack of details. I was tired. But I’m using Vegas 14. I have the wave fx in the clip but the wave speed is inconsistent. Starts out slow then speeds up the closer it gets to the end. I want to see if it’s possible to keep the speed of the wave constant through the whole clip

If you still after assistance, you better show a screenshot of you wave FX menu.

It could be just your KF setting.
