I also have an effect problem (in vegas 8.0) so rather then creating a new thread...

I've been trying to get this effect were kinda fizzles and bends (like when you
mess with the antennae on an old tv set) in time with the music. what I've been

doing, is I put a duplacate track above my main one, setting opacity to 50%, then
adding the wave plugin and increasing the verticle waves.The only problem is, I

don't want the whole screen to start waving, just different little parts quickly in
sucession. I thought I'd use the mask tool to animate it so that it's just a small

part that flashes on and off. And it worked for the first four seconds (I'm only eight
sec. into the amv :P ) but then suddenly the wave started affecting the screen,

even when it was supposed to be masked. ( this is two events away for the first 4
sec. btw) any help?

Recheck? you mean like make sure the mask button is checked off? anyway, here's some pictures to explain what I mean...

It's getting most annoying, because I need to use the effect all through the amv, and I'm also on a time limit. >.<
Thanks again. 8-)

Why is there no edit button! :?

but anyway, I went ahead and did the next part of the amv, and I used the same effect again, but this time the problem's slightly different (I made the effect the exact same way) this time it looks alright in preview mode, but as soon as I "selectivly prerender" the video to see it more smoothly, it's back to doing it all over the screen (even more then last time)

Am I makeing myself a nucence?

Should it make a difference if there's anything on track 1?

if you had a clip set up on track 1 that you might have overlooked then yea, but if nothing is there then there should be no difference.... what is the settings of your keyframes?

u probably had but just ot make sure, since u only want the wave for small portions, did u make sure to stop the wave effect at the same point on ur timeline u stop ur mask?. otherwise teh mask might be disappearing and the wave then goes on to wave the whole screen. like i said tho, u prolly did but u may have overlooked
