Insert Text overlappes my video

Dutch_G wrote on 11/2/2020, 7:29 AM

I have no idea what button I pressed or what option I choose but for some reason now, it worked fine earlier, when i insert text media on another video track it puts a sample text there but it also replaces my video with sample text on the track below. Also before the problem occured I immidiatly got the option to edit the text now I dont. Does someone know how to fix this?

Thanks.

Can you give a screenprint of the interface when you see this?

I did not ask for a print of the inserted media but of your total INTERFACE

You probably have both tracks selected. Only select the track you want the text on.

As in all other Windows applications - if these are marked.

Did you mean the "Hamburger Button - Edit Visible Buttons" ?
Look for it in the help - these practical "Hamburger Buttons" are available several times in Vegas Pro.

Maybe your track height is too small - try to enlarge it with the mouse - or set it to standard - double-clicking on the vertical slider makes it either small or normal. Sometimes dealing with the help built into the program also helps - you don't have to ask everything here:

And - to get into the matter there are also linked and very helpful tutorials on this page - are from an older version but the basic things we are talking about here are all still the same.
