ok that's good :-)
if I remove the text track everything works as expected. let me see its only when I add the text track that things go floeey
This project is still 655x480. I changed the width to 656.
I then customized the render setting as such:
It rendered with the video:

Ok, if you can see the media without the text track, then that takes me back to video card/driver.
You might also try going to Options - Preferences - Deprecated Features and turn on "Legacy Text"
Then try replacing that text event with a "Legacy Text" event to see if that makes a difference.
ok @RogerS some of the source files were captured originally 1920x1080p even though they are SD resolution. That's why the project is set to SD let me see if I can fix it on my end and will report back thanks
Does the video always disappear when you add a text track?
i turned on legacy text the other day i changed the project to 646x480
I'm keeping it at 59.97 etc from what I worked on with someone here last summer as I want all the videos digitized to be progressive not interlace.
@jetdv yes BUT it appears in preview when playing it
Go to Help - Check for Driver Updates.
What does that screen show?
no such menu item
@Leon-Zetekoff What happens when you click Check For News,? That is where 'Check for Driver Updates' is in VP21,
no news no vegas updates
i keep my system updated I can't believe this is a driver issue
Ok, it appears that was added in VEGAS Pro 18. We still need to know your video card and driver version:
In the Windows search bar, type "device" and then open the Device Manager. Go to Display Adapters and what options do you see there?
Then right-click any options you see there and choose "Properties". In the window that opens, click on the "Driver" tab. What does that say?

ok the text track was 655 so I changed it to 656x480 the blinking of the text disappeared but the rendering still only shows the text track. I will try legacy text later but I believe it's what i have now but will double check
ok using legacy text does same thing. I am stumped
i've tried using main concept encoder as well same thing instead of the intel QSV.
Your Intel graphics drivers are six years out of date.
You can update them using the item in the Vegas Help menu.
@mark-y these are the latest drivers available.
and I said above there are no vegas updates either
@jetdv ok i converted the original MKV --> DVD format and them imported to the project and it looks like it is working. for some reason something is funky with the files I was using will report back more after I see the rendering
thanks
It appears there actually is a newer driver. Says it's for Windows 7/8.1, though and is still 3 years old.

I don't think it will make a difference in your case, though. I think the issue is the file format and it's probably easier to just convert them to another format. Glad to hear you're getting them to work that way.
i agree @jetdv i converted to .avi and had some issues. GOing to DVD seems to work will keep y'all posted. many thanks.
What format of AVI? DV-AVI works great in VEGAS if you're just doing SD.
