HEY, I BEEN WORKING ON A PROJECT ALL DAY, FOR WHATEVER REASON MY PREVIEW WINDOW AND MY EFFECT WINDOW, WILL NOT STAY ON THE SCREEN AT THE SAME TIME.

NOW EARLY EVERYTHING WAS FINE THEN VEGAS STARTED DOING WHAT IT WANTS.

SO CAN ONE OF YOU GREAT VEGAS ELITE HELP ME TO RECTIFY THIS PERPLEXING INCONVIENCE?

I JUST WOULD LIKE TO DO MY PIC IN PIC & BE ABLE TO SEE THE PREVIEW WHILE EDITING?

THANKS, VEXED & PLEXED OVER EFFECTS!

This is your first post here? Yes?

Well, firstly, find the CAPS button and stop shouting! PLEASE!

Secondly, it sounds like you have a window layout issue going on. Are you using a 2nd Monitor Preview option? I get this when I activate this option and I have a function Menu slip UNDER the 2nd Monitor. OR you could have Preview and FX docked in such a way that you are now Tabbed?

What version of Vegas are you running?

Grazie

Any chance you could post a Screen Grab of your Layout - somewhere?

Hey Grazie, i apologize for shouting, & appreciate your swift response. I do think their's a possibility, that i perhaps hit the wrong button.

Yes this my first post, also i am a vegas novice.Grazie could you explain to me how to dock my windows? My media window docks automatically, yet my effects takes up the whole top half.

Alright i'm going to check the things you mentioned i have vegas studio plantinum 9.0 i do not know how to post a screen grab?

I'm guessing you've docked the effect window on top of the preview windows. Do you see tabs indicating the preview and effect can be separately selected? If you open the effect window and see a column of dots in the upper left corner, click on them and drag that window away from the preview screen area.

NEW BN DREAMZ, please do not take this in a negative manner, but are you aware that there is a forum specifically for Vegas Movie Studio users (this is the Vegas Pro forum). Though we are all happy to help you, you may find that the the other forum is better suited to answering questions for both your software and the sort of work that you might do with it. Most of us here make all or part of our living doing professional videography or post production engineering and the product we use is a bit different than yours. Again, I'm not trying to kick you out, I am merely trying to get you in contact with people who can better answer questions for your particular software.

I was a while back trying to find the correlation between caps and shouting. Being in the military and working later for the military all of their messages were in the form of teletype 60/100 wpm caps only. I assume this was to reduce the amount of data per message---select caps select lower case. I still wonder where the "shouting sensitivity" entered the realm of the Internet.

'I still wonder where the "shouting sensitivity" entered the realm of the Internet.'

I would think that most of us are still using "plain text" to safely communicate via common web portals. So there are only a limited number of methods to indicate pointed inflection using plain text, such as using uppercase to emphasize a point. Thus, it equates to SHOUTING to use uppercase on an entire message.

One other thing worth mentioning about all uppercase. You might note that most legal documents (like End User Agreements) use all uppercase. This is because of the way our brain processes written text. Normal, serif text is processed as "pictures" of words, thus you can quickly scan large blocks of print, but not have to stop and read each and every word. By using all uppercase, the author of the document assures that you have to slow down and read each word.

Although it doesn't assure that anyone will have any better comprehension of the document ;-)

Nice point JJKizak! Almost all the early communications on the Internet were in caps............. I remember being told by a young USAF Lieutenant that caps were used for the "old" SAC USAF Colonels and Brigadier Generals to "stress" importance" and for they could avoid using reading glasses. ;-)
