Screen layout (workspace) changed - lost video preview

starlingrd wrote on 1/4/2005, 11:56 PM

This sounds dumb, but after working for months in Vegas 4 with the lower half of my screen divided between the media pool (or whatever) and the video preview, suddenly it shows either one or the other across the whole bottom, and I have to toggle between them with the tabs.

Can someone help me get back to the way it was? The V4 "Help" screens don't help.

Thanks

1/- Check you got VP available: View>Check Video Preview.

2/- If you have, then you might have it "lurking" somewhere .. Separate all the dockable Windows. You know how to do this? Well, on the very Left hand edge of every Window - Explorer; Trimmer; Trannies; . .etc etc . . - you will see a fine vertical line. Left Click and Grab this Vertical Line and Drag the window into some free space.

3/- Once you've "Deconstructed" all your windows AND have found your PV window, re-package them the way you want.

4/- Upgrade to Vegas 5! It's got a lot more available for Work Flow and Window Managment - SMART Working . . I wouldn't go back to V4 now . .I've got 9 Workspaces that I can call up from Toolbar Icons OR keystrokes. . .. OK, If you can't you can't . . I love it.

Best regards,

Thanks. Your advice worked.
I wish I could afford to upgrade to VV5. Maybe after the next 2 or 3 jobs....
