HELP! -VP8 not showing EFX in preview

mojocam wrote on 2/25/2008, 9:03 AM
I downloaded the demo of VP8 after being a relatively happy and productive owner of VegasMovie+DVD Platinum for a year or so. So far, I can't get the efx to display (that is, I see the uneffected clips) in the preview window. I reopen VM+D and it's still cranking along with all chosen/applied EFX visible.
I'm scanning the manual, looked for forum thread, but nothing so far. I'd love to own 8 for the unlimited tracks, as I'm doing lots of chromakeyed overlays in my current project, but I need to see the result of applied efx.
Is there a simple switch to display/not display EFX in VP8 that I'm missing? thanks!

In the video preview window, there is a half-moon icon. If it is down (and the mode is set to bypass filters), then you won't see your filters/FX.

Vol 6 #1 of my newsletters fully discusses this FEATURE of Vegas.
