Problem print to tape

Captured DV-PAL to Vegas 5. When editing the preview looks jerky, like when I use Mpeg2 on the timeline.
When trying to print to tape Vegas says that more than 80 percent has to be rendered. But the media properties says the video is DV-PAL as the project.
Trying to render the project to a new DV-file its extremely slow. Tells about 10 hours for 15 minutes.
When I Go back to Vegas 4 and import the same material, everything looks and works totally normal.
I've compared the properties settings in my Veg4 and Veg 5. As far as I can see every setting is the same.
Does anybody have an idea about what is wrong or what I've done wrong.

Sounds like you probably bumped the "Levels" slider on one of your track headers below 100%. Doing that will cause BOTH of your problems.

I would also make sure you don't have any track level or project level effects added.

Thanks jetdv for the tip, but my level sliders are on 100% on all video tracks.
And I dont have any other level effects added, as far as I can understand.
I'll investigate more, but is still thankful for any advice that can help me solve this problem.

Some effect is added somewhere or Vegas would run at normal speed and not want to render everything. You said there were no effects on the track header. How about the Project? (above the preview window) Or the Media itself? (in the Media pool) Or even the clips on the timeline?

You could always e-mail or post the VEG file so one of us could look at it to try to determine the problem.

It was something with the compositing mode - stood in 3D alpha source. Changed to alpha source and now it works. So you was right, Thanks!

Sony,

It sure would be nice to have an "auditing" tool to check for these sorts of things. I think every Vegas user has experienced slow rendering caused by inadvertently "nudging" some control, or forgetting that they had set some track effect that they forgot to move. It would be very useful to be able to view a summary of all fX and settings in order to know what things have been set.
