This is very distressing! Spent almost 12 hours applying various filter adjustments only to have Vegas Video totally mess them up. This may happen only with a very large number of events and complex application of filters.
Details:
Project apx 36 minutes in length
Events apx 240
Tracks one video, 6 audio each with volume envelope
synopses:
Use split event breaking single source file into scenes, some as small as a few seconds. Apply various video FX filters by dragging to event on timeline. Select only single event, play using loop playback. Adjust video FX filters as needed, save project, move on to next event, repeat these steps.
Every 5-6 minutes reset loop playback area to encompass project to finished point on timeline to confirm everything is OK. Everything fine, exactly as I want it. Have a series of project files saved as A-B-C, etc..
Move further down the timeline skipping some events. Apply video FX filters to later part of timeline as before. Everything looks fine. Return to start of project ALL THE EVENTS early on the timeline that were adjusted exactly as I wanted them are now totally distored!
Clicking on the Event FX button on the timeline of a early event I now see multiple instances of filters I applied. I only apply ONE instance of levels or color curve, etc., now early on the timeline there may be two or three instances of each, which doubles or triples the filter effect. Some events don't have multiple instances yet there is still distortion very noticeable. Thinking somehow I did, I re adjust again. Everything seems fine again for the eary events. I return to late on the timeline and the last events I worked on way near the end of the timeline are now distored, but the early events are still OK.
I'm stuck in a vicious cycle. I never had this kind of a problem with smaller projects. What's happening, and how to get correct it?
