Velocity Envelopes command

curtisd wrote on 9/9/2006, 2:59 AM
Right-click a video event, choose Insert/Remove Envelope from the shortcut menu, and then choose Velocity from the submenu. A velocity envelope is drawn on the event. is what i found in vegas 6.0 help menu. The problem is the comand just simply not there.
when i right click my video event it dose not show and envelope options. and the only video evenlope options i been able to find or use is composite and fade. i tried to trouble shoot this with friends but in the end its just missing. I have the most up to date version and the only 2 problems that i could think would cause this is there a option witch would turn this off?? also full version of Vegas software is required I should have the full version and it dosen't say other wise but im not 100% sure.

Correct, Velocity envelopes are only available in the full version of Vegas.

Vegas 6d User's Guide, Chapter 8, page 178. "This feature is only available in the full version of Vegas software." That line of text shows up many, many times in the manual.

Not sure if the CD key is relevant, but you can tell from price: Did you pay several hundred dollars for Vegas? Or only around $100? Full vegas retails for $699, IIRC. Help/About should tell exactly what you have, along with the version number.

As for the velocity envelope, yes, you right-click to add the envelope (which you should now be able to see overlayed on the clip), then right-click precisly on the envelope line to get the sub-menu. If you right click anywhere else on the cilp you get the clip sub-menu.

curtisd, are you right-clicking on an event (ie, is your mouse within the convfines of a single clip) or on a track (ie, is your mouse hovering over the track header or an empty area of the track)?

Velocity envelopes are event-based. If your mouse isn't hovered over an event, you won't see the option.
