I have to ask this stupid question -Trimmer

I know this will haunt me to ask but-

I must of done this a million times since V4...I had to go back to V9.0a and I can't seem to figure out how to add the Trimmer Tab.

I can see the trimmer by doing a View-Trimmer, but I want it on the windows tabs below next to VideoFX....I'm embarrassed to say I've looked in the manuals...

thanks..

Drag it over that set of tabs and the trimmer should get swallowed. If the trimmer is already part of another group then grab it by the gripper handle (top left of any movable window) and drag it away.

Look in the upper left of the trimmer window. Are you sure there is not another window docked with the trimmer window? If there is there will be more than one "X" in the upper left of the window (or there are tabs). Separate the windows and the trimmer will dock with another window or group of windows.

When I undock it, I only see 1 X in the far top right and nothing more.

press ALD+D D to get the interface back to the default screen

Trimmer window should re-appear and start from there

Where's the "ALD" button? Is that the button for the Budget Store, here in the UK?

Just tried to replicate - my 9.0c is doing this normally - whenever the top left corner of theTrimmer is moved to near or over the Tab top left corner, it is grabbed and becomes a tabbed Trimmer.

If you don't mind losing all your settings, deinstall and reinstall Vegas. If problem persists I'd put a ticket in at Sony for ideas.

Windows are "grabbed" when they hover over the window area but tabs are not created unless you are lined up all the way left and AFTER you let go of the left mouse button. A window can dock WITHOUT creating a tab if you don't go all the way left.

Any two windows can dock with each other and create tabs (even when they float).
Can the Trimmer dock with the Plug-in Manager and create a tab while floating?

I assume this is ONLY the trimmer window that won't dock and create a tab where you want it. Did you try other windows like the Plug-in Manager in the same spot?

I thought the Alt dd would of reset everything back...which it look like it did....but I was still unable to swallow the trimmer...I just gave up and re-installed everything and behold I'm able to add the trimmer in there. FINALLY! And I can move it to where in the tabs I want. I'm happy!

Just a note that me and the Trimmer have been on a nasty conflict since V5. Call it a love and hate relationship.

Thanks Guys!
