Vegas Swapped my Events!

Just got hit with this bug in 10e.

Relating to this thread:
http://www.sonycreativesoftware.com/forums/ShowMessage.asp?ForumID=4&MessageID=775583

Some of you may have viewed this video, where there are lower thirds of the names of the band members. Vegas has swapped the lower 3rd background w/ another clip in the video. The properties of the wrong clip has the same name of the image sequence that is supposed to be there... hmmmm.

Now here's the weird thing. When I replace the wrong clip w/ the proper image sequence and copy event attributes everything is OK until I save and reopen the .veg. Then every lower 3rd event is back to the wrong event. (I'm thinking to myself wtfff)

This project is VERY SIMPLE w/ only 9 video tracks. All the other four .veg files from this gig are fine.. go figure. (Actually, thank goodness!)

Correct Event:

Swapped Event:

Anyhoo, good thing I'm done with this little project for my friend. Being that I'm an amateur w/ only 6 events that were swapped it's just annoying, but if I was a pro and had lots of events that were swapped like this I'd really be p-i-s-s-e-d!

Just another reason to keep my projects in smaller shorter segments.

I'm not going to open a ticket w/ Sony because I've heard their responses many times before to "down load the latest version" forget that... Pay for a buggy upgrade to a problem that is probably not fixed?.... I don't think sooooo... lol! ((;

Nightmare.
I would like to know if anyone knows if this has been fixed in v11 ?
Never did get a definitive answer to that.

Its a major problem for a lot of people.

PS. i have suggested in another thread that i suspect its something to do with the way the project file is saved, and then loaded again. Paramaters are being messed up in the process. Like in your case (and others i have read) it seems you see the error once the project file is reloaded. But during actual use, the events are correct. Something in the translation of .veg is not working. Well, thats my theory!

I've had Vegas v10 swap my events a few times, I have not had it happen in v11.

From the Version 11, 510/511 release notes:
"Fixed an issue that could cause events to use the wrong media in certain circumstances (seen when project is later loaded)."

Thanks John, good to know. Sounds like it could be fixed in that case.
Steve, yes i read that already but was looking for confirmation. There was uncertainty about whether this was the same issue or not.
Well if its fixed, thats good news. But not so good news for the v10 users out there still with the bug.
