Broadcast Safe Zone not apparent in final render
Edit in 8-bit full range esp. if you don't understand the difference with studio and computer levels and want Vegas to properly manage it for you. With 8-bit video levels you have to do it all by yourself. You're right. I don't understand it but I'd like to. Is there an article explaining it somewhere so I might? Not sure what you mean when you say that with 8-bit I'd have to do it all by myself and what it is I'd have to do all by myself that I'm not doing already and in the past. Please don't take this to be confrontational. I'm really wanting to improve what I do.

Broadcast Safe Zone not apparent in final render
That worked. I sure appreciate everyone in the forum for answering questions. Some of these issues are simply not obvious. One other question... Any advice as to what I should set it to when starting a new project? I have no idea what 8 bit legacy as opposed to 8 bit full really is or means. It's difficult to keep up and sometimes frustrating. Thanks for your help.

That doesn't surprise me as I doubt just having two clips on a timeline would bog down anything. Also as I said before, there are times when the project works fine and other times when the same project bogs. Thanks for taking a look. I'm working on the project right now and if I minimize the Vegas window, even that has quite a lag. That's why I don't think it has much to do with the video itself.

If you would like to have a sample of my video files, here are two samples. I'll leave them on my FTP site for a couple of days before I take them down to save space. They are clips from quite a while ago and you can retrieve them at: www.bansemer.com/pickup

Here's a short raw clip from a project. I have to say that this lag thing happens sometimes when I edit to the point I can't edit any more and other times it doesn't. It's spuratic. Not a very good clip but short enough so I could upload it.

What Reyfox said. It's unclear if you tried the setting change I mentioned (try everything on the file io tab related to decoding and see if it helps). Beyond that there's probably no setting to change this behavior which brings us back to media. I'll give that a try. Thanks for the suggestion.

That's exactly what happens with me. A couple second delay when moving an event on the timeline. Other functions lag the same way. Strange thing is it happens sometimes when I'm working on projects and not on other occasions. It really makes it impossible to edit when it does occur.

I think no need for uploading anything, 'cos i also OFTEN have the same issue with V19 b643. Standard 1080p avchd videos from my SONY cameras (TD30, A5100, ZV E10). What could be wrong?... I use Vegas since 4.0, and to me v11 was the best, most stable and bugfree version. From V12 the curious error comes: hang while delete an event with auto ripple enabled. That bug was exist until V19, so i bought this version because hoped everything will be fine: fast editing with gpu usage, fast editing with auto ripple on, etc. But now i face with freezing while simply like to shorten a jpg image file (!) on the timeline or have this horrible 1-2 sec lag while moving events on timeline, etc. After Vegas restart, lag disappear for a few 5-30 minutes.. My PC is perfect, every other seriuos app is fine, seems like Vegas has memory leak issue. I don't buy any upgrade until they fix it.

I don't see any advantage to uploading a piece of media because it's exactly the same media I've been using all along. Here's the issue: Sometimes it works fine with no problems. Other times opening the same project it lags. So I very well could be faulting Vegas where as it's something else. For example I might go to lunch and leave the project open and come back and it runs fine, then after a few minutes it might lag or not. It's baffling. I have 64 megs of ram. Could I have a setting wrong? Here's another example of what I mean in the video. You can see how the video marker does not follow along with the video as it runs. When it decides to lag, it's every single thing in Vegas that lags, even doing a save as takes a number of seconds for it to appear.

I'm not sure what or how to clarify what is in the container. All I can tell you is that I'm using the same cameras as I did several years ago and didn't have the problem with Vegas17 which leads me to believe it's not my cameras or my computer. I hate to complain but spending hours a day editing with these sort of things starts to wear on me. With this particular project I'm working on, all is OK then in a few minutes these lags begin. I shut down Vegas 20, start it again and it's fine but only for a few minutes and then lag time again...

I'm editing mp4 files. In this particular video sample I'm uploading I only have one video track so it's not bloated with lots of stuff going on. You can see how just trying to shorten or lengthen a clip lags. It's horrible.

Vegas 20 just seems to worse the more I use it. In addition to dealing with the "Not Responding" thing at least 3 times an hour, Vegas just becomes sluggish. I go to move, shorten, or lengthen an event and it hesitates. I try and lasso a group of clips and I have to do it several times before it takes. I click "save as" and it could be 4 or 5 seconds before it comes up. Anyone else having these issues? I have to say, this doesn't happen all the time but it happens often enough to make editing unpleasant. Of all the programs I have on my computer Vegas is the one I use most often and the only one that has so many issues.

"Specify a replacement media file"
Thanks very much for the reply. So... I won't worry about the message popping up knowing that I'm actually not missing any video files in my saved project. I do use the "remove all unused media" frequently but I've never noticed the "Tools" "Clean Media Project" before. Is that the same as the red box in the upper left of the screen "Remove all unused media"

Color Matching
Can you please explain this a bit further. I've been working with it for about an hour now and just can't get it. When I use the clipboard and drag an area all I get is black. Would you kind enough to tell me what steps to take from from here. Thanks

transition glitch
I did another text and opened a new project and placed those same png files in it and it rendered fine but no matter how many times I render my project for PBS it gives me a hard transition every time. I however just did a workaround by making two tracks and putting one png on the lower track and the next on of the upper track with a fade on the upper one and repeated this down the line. This works but for me it means that I have to carefully look at each render to make sure nothing gets sent out with this type of glitch.

Backing up project
Thanks for the information. I generally don't worry about hd space but I've used 4 cameras in 4K running for several hours so it's a lot of space. After reading the comments, I think my best bet is to back up each program to a separate directory and then copy one program over to the other. That way Windows will ask me if I want to or not want to replace or ignore the files with the same name. That way I can put all the files in one directory without having duplicates.

Thank you so very much. I never ever would have found that or known about it. Thanks again.

Error occirred while trying to open a project from a previous version
I know what you mean. Sometimes the error message on opening an old VP project in a later VP version identifies the missing plugin, but often it doesn't. I wish that it did all the time. The reason may lie with a plugin that was used with the original project is no longer installed, or has been updated and the latest update doesn't recoginise the original plugin version - I've that happen in the past. Yes, it's definitely because a plugin is no longer on the system or something to that effect but it sure doesn't help when it's telling me that is "95dd906b-6052-bba9-bcc568758a52". It could be a Boris plugin because of the "bcc" but beyond that it's of no help in trying to find what might need needed in order to update a project.

That's really interesting. I'll change my preferences now and give it a try. Once question though. Would that slow down rendering time? Thanks for the information.

I just updated this morning and will see how it goes. I'm curious... you say you use not GPU. I have an RTX 3070. Are you suggesting that I set it to none and why would that help? Thanks

I do save all the time. I'm constantly hitting ctrl-S but we really shouldn't have to be doing that all the time.

That is one instance that happens to me but more often it just locks up with the "not responding" indication. I'm a huge fan of Vegas and love editing but this not responding things is really getting frustrating after spending thousands of dollars over the years for upgrades. Come on Vegas, please try and resolve this. I've watched youtube tutorials on how to improve performance, etc but it still crashes. I'm not kidding when I say I spend 10 minutes out of every hour restarting Vegas.

It's every version of Vegas since I began using it back 12 years ago and continues with V20 Subscription. My computer is windows 10, 64 bit with an RTX700, i9 Core, and 64 gigs of ram which should be enough.

Slow Motion
Thanks for the feedback. I haven't done any testing myself as I thought I'd get an opinion or two before going to the trouble and time to install those programs only to find out there isn't much of a difference. After what you said, I think I'll just stick with whats within Vegas.
