VP15 Opacity Handle?

Dexcon wrote on 4/19/2018, 1:41 AM

By chance, is the event locked?

Locking or unlocking opacity (and everything else for that matter) can be enabled by right-clicking the event, selecting 'Switches' and then ticking or unticking 'Lock'.

Works fine for me in V15. Must have something locked.

@Dexcon . . .

Nope. Moving fine and Dandy.

Locking or unlocking opacity . . . selecting 'Switches' and then ticking or unticking 'Lock'.

And nope again, still not moving. 😞

I'm wondering, again, if this is one of those tweaks that has to be held in a Saved Windows Layout schema - again. I have a growing list. 📌

working fine here in v15 as well.

maybe you have that clip grouped or synced with other clips that have different opacity, and it might not allow you to change it for that reason?

Does this happen to all kind of (video) media or is it a certain type which does not work? What about Generated Media?

@redpaw : Nope. Using your advise I started-over with a FRESH single Event VEG. The Track Header Level Slider works and the Event's Opacity OFF-set works. But neither the Events Video nor the Audio Level can be adjusted? Weird . . .

Nope, not working with GenMed nor Audio.

Prior to that, just did a Factory Reset - nope.

No answer, but your not alone! https://www.vegascreativesoftware.info/us/forum/opacity-adjustment--57751/

This was in 2007, so not necessarily a VP14 issue.

Make sure your Mouse Cursor (the Arrow or hand) is in the right mode. If it is envelope, it won't move it.

Same mode as VP14, and that works.

Works OK here (including locking switch), maybe try to run Vegas as administrator?

Uninstalled and after a CLEAN Boot reinstalled VP B321. Nope, Level Grab still not working....

Tried a Run as Admin - Again no . . . . AFAICT everything else is working.

I would guess it is something to do with your mouse driver then. Have you looked into updates for that?

Grazie wrote on 4/20/2018, 10:25 PM

@Former user : The same Mouse & Drivers Work in VP14.

Yup, done it prior to Reinstalling VP15 B321. Don’t forget it’s working fine in VP14.

Last idea and then I am out. A while back you were tallking about adding a hardware surface. Any chance that might be interfering?

Grazie wrote on 4/20/2018, 11:13 PM

@Former user

Any chance that might be interfering?

Absolutely. The surface, PreSonus FaderPort8, works nicely in VP15 and was one of the first items I checked out, switched it OFF and deleted it from being a Control Surface in VP15.

@Former user Thanks for your concern and input.

@Grazie Would there be any benefit in uploading a snippet of the video clip for other users to test, or is it all and every still/video clips?

redpaw wrote on 4/21/2018, 6:06 AM

and is the mouse cursor changing to the hand when you move over the thingy to drag is stays the arrow ?

what if you create a project in v14, make sure the opacity works, and then open that project in v15?
(probably not very helpful, but i'm completely out of the ideas :) )

@JN_ Sure I’ll try anything!😜 but so far it happens all and everything but NOT in VP14.

It changes to a hand but you can only drag when the hand changes to a pointing finger.

Better to upload a sample project, along with its media.

oh ya, that's what i meant... pointy finger. is it changing at all... (if the even is locked it wont even change the, so that would be some kind of indication what might be wrong...)
