WMA Index Points and Vegas

Hi Folks,

Does anyone know if you can use Vegas v5 to create a WMA file that includes "index points" that would allow the user to skip forwarded or backward to predefined points in the audio program? I tried rendering with both Vegas Markets and Audio Tracks inserted in the audio project, with no luck.

Thanks!

Yes, select the custom button on the render as window. Then go to the index tab and check the box.

Under the Index/Summary tab of the Custom template the Index File check box is unchecked and grayed out, along with the associated fields below it.

Any ideas why this is?

p..s What should I be using in Vegas to generate this index points? Markers?

Make sure 'Save project markers in media file' is checked when you render the file. Your markers will appear as 'File Markers' in Windows Media Player.

Ignore the index/Summary tab.

Thanks. The point I was missing was that in Windows Media Player you must look under the View=>File Markers menu to see the listing of Markers. Just select the File Marker and you jump to that point in the program.
