After using Vegas Pro 20 for 6 months this problem has just surfaced. I have been using Vegas since it had a Sony badge. First time imposing on this forum. :)
I have cut multiple clips from the base file and only some of the clips have failed to display the waveforms.
New camera (for me) Sony FDR AX-53 (but also happening with files from 2 year old Gopro 9). The other camera in the job is a Pixel phone (4A 5G) which is also over 2 years old and often used as my 3rd or 4th camera without issues.
It may have started after I created video proxy files for the 2 4k machines and the 1080P phone (which overheats and shuts down if recording 4k)
I have tried without success:
- rebooting
- rebuild audio peaks
- Changed internal option "Build peaks for visible only" to TRUE and reboot
- shift-up to increase vertical scale of waveform
I hope I don't have to start from scratch - hoping for practical workarounds.
This is the first time I've used files longer than 90 minutes.
Am I missing something really dumb?
Screenshot shows this happening across the board: (edited to upload screenshot for inline viewing)
