VV3 corrupted image

Hello folks,
I am desperately looking for help to make my VV3 to work.
Problem: if I load video file (avi), I cannot see frames normaly. The are all terribly "pixelized". So bad that all you see just some formless igures.

The only thing I know, it happend after I was working with some other file. Exited VV3 and deleted a clip (video) I was working on before. After I strated VV3 again, I got a warning that last something is not found...

And now, only pixelized clips and frames.
I tried to uninstall and reinstall program, biut no luck.

Appreciate your help.
Thank you.

Where are you seeing the problem, in the Vegas preview? Is it set to Preview Quality, or Draft?

I assume you are talking about the preview window. I had the exact same problem at first. I was running my desktop at 800x600 and had the preview window sized too small. When I made it bigger, the pixelation went away but then my timeline area was too small. I finally got reading glasses and changed my desktop to 1028x760 and now things look great. ;-) (OK, so I'm getting old...)

After you resize the preview window you may have to right click on it and change the preview quality to Display at Project Size on and then off again to get it to repaint properly. Hope this helps. It did form me.

Thanks for the tips guys. I found the reason for the problem.
It was caused by using AVI clip captured with iuVCR using Huffyuv codec.
As soon as I set capture option to uncompressed the problem was gone.
(I did not had any pixelized problem before, becaise I have never tried to deal with AVI clips, only MPEG stream. Idiot!)

(In my original post when I was refering to "pixilized" picture, I was refering to the editor and preview panes).

Now, if I open AVI clip with Huffyuv compression in trimmer, preview window is prefectly readable, but frames a trimmer pane still HUGLY pixelized.

Could you tell me why?What am I missing here?
TIA,
abc

Hi abc,

Trimmer and explorer preview do not recompress to DV (I think).

FWIW, If you capture or compress to NTSC or PAL DV, you can enjoy great realtime previews and SoFo's amazing DV codec (especially if you capture using Vegas), without the overhead of working with huge uncompressed files.
