I thought this was a fluke but now it happened to me again. My rendered NTSC Wide AVI file dips to black in the render but it does not go black on the timeline. What could be causing this?
Not sure what "clipping to black" means but if you're experiencing black frames in your final render, do a search for that term on the forum as there have been many discussions of the issue. Short answer for me is closing out Vegas (after saving) and/or Windows, and restarting Vegas before actually rendering anything.
Unbelievably, this happened to me today! Unexpectedly, right in the middle of a short clip, fade to black and fade up from black as if I intentionally tried to do it. Moving the clip to a different track and moving it side to side cleared it up. Very strange indeed. This is with HDV footage from my Z7U.
i had the same problem yesterday using vegas 9.0e 32bit with windows xp
it is really annoying when you render a big project over night, and you can´t be sure if some parts are going to be black!
i had a project about 2h20min with dv footage and cineform avis and did a batch render to mpeg2 and sony avc mp4.
the mpeg2 was fine, but the in mp4 big parts in the middle (all cineform 720p avis) were missing and only black!
i know the suggestions, to set the preview ram to zero, render without preview, restarting/rebooting before rendering, etc...
but what silly workflow is this to take precautions in settings before every render?
i don´t need many new features in future vegas versions, but i really need a reliable rendering system (i also experienced the low memory error twice wit 9.0e) and a timeline without the famous red frames.
the problem is with the black frames, if you render the project again - they are gone, and you can´t track the problem down.
