Vegas 6 black frames

Well it's here too. I downloaded the demo, captured about 10 minutes from my Sony camcorder and dragged all of the clips to the timeline. First thing I noticed is the same behaviour Vegas 5 showed: no blue triangles on the events' corners. Only saving the project as is, rebooting and loading the project again will get me to see the blue triangles (restarting Vegas won't help). This only happens right after capturing media, if you add media to the timeline at a later editing session, I do get blue triangles.
Next thing I see is the infamous black frames or gaps, and the reason seems to be the same as always has been: the audio part not quantizing to an exact frame, being a few pixels longer than the video part. The next event will jut to the previous event's audio length, hence leaving a gap between the video events: a black frame. *sigh *

You guys (and gals) with the issue -- what are your project properties, ruler, snap to and quantize settings set to?

I'm quantize on, snap to markers only, project is NTSC DV, with the ruler set to SMPTE drop.

Do you start a with a bare timeline, or with blank tracks?

I've got auto ripple on.

Also, I see that you're using your camera for capture, cacher -- true for you, too, filmy? I'm using a deck. I wonder if this might be the culprit as it is an obvious difference in our setups.

*bump* Has the problem gone away? I'm interested in helping you solve it...

I just noticed my first flash frames of a render that doen not have missing frames in the raw DV footage or rouge edits on the timeline.
Rebooted going to re-render the sequence to see if it goes away.

When you do not get the blue triangles try expanding the timeline and see what happens.

this black/flash frames issue is a page filing problem.

i used to get sporadic frames from a totlaly unrelated area of media just pop up, other times, i would use teh flash transition and instead of giving me a flash, it would cycle through thousands of images for the full dureation of the transition.
This was alleviated by physically changing the properties of teh cip by adding a key frame and slight motion, (where a frame would pop up) this in turn would force vegas to reprocess the clip, hence removing the glitch.
The black frames occurs (for me) on a new system running v5, basically a mixture of formats such as a slideshow with a video background and jpg stills overlaid on top of that. As the still are panned and cropped and zoomed, the background would cut out.
Change teh keyframe by 1ms, and my background returns.

Its the page file gettin its numbers wrong..

Vegas 6, i dunno.. as V6 wont even run on my machine. I think it has to do withthe fat that i still have references to V4 Beta, V4 (Which i still use for MOV conversion) and V5 which i still use..
