That is from version 7.0

I use Vegas 6.0c, so that may be an issue that's exclusive to version 7.0. Never seen it before, and I have no idea what it could signify. Sorry :/

Unless it comes out like that when you render the video, then it's probably just a little glitch that appears. o.O Doe sit appear after you render it?

So I made testvideo with effects and rendered it. You're right, that is only a strange glitch. That was scary because I have never seen anything like that before... o_O I think on version 6.0 there is nothing like that...

Ha Ha, no there is.

Happened to me once and I thought it was real strange. But I rendered and it was fine. Now, I'm not a technical guru, so I don't know what is causing it, but it doesn't hurt your video, so it's all good. =D

I have a question, and maybe it was answered between pages 6 and 11, I don't know I stopped reading after page 5, cause I am kinda in a hurry to find this out.

Okay, I just downloaded Sony Vegas 6.0a, and when I try to do a transition, any one in particular, it messes up. For instance: the "Tumble In" transition, when I put it in between 2 clips, it comes up with a menu, I leave all the current settings alone thinking that it will work just like the preview shows it working. Well, I click the "X" button at the top right hand corner and rewatch the clips, when it gets to the transitional part the transition happens so fast that it is hardly even noticeable that a transition took place, all I see is a screen just pop up, it looks nothing like in the preview. I wanna know, how do I fix this problem? Do I have to toy around with the settings or what?

You're experiencing preview lag. You're gonna want to drag a loop around the transition (do this by clicking and dragging on an empty part of the timeline; a blue box should appear, and whatever's in that box is "looped"), then press Shift-B. A portion of your RAM will dedicate itself to making that part of your video run smoothly in the preview window. If you want to dedicate more RAM to this so you can smoothly preview a larger part of your video, go to Options>Preferences and click on the Video tab; you can increase the amount of RAM for dynamic previews in that box near the top.

Additionally, you can go to File>Render As... and check the "Render Loop Region Only" box at the bottom and render an .avi file to preview it.

^ And if after rendering, it's still too short, hover your mouse over the edge of the transition until you see the icon change, then drag it to the desired length.

Just an afterthought. o.O

Linking there might get you in trouble here, just so you know...

Have you tried extending the transition? Like, dragging it so it's longer?
