I'm not sure why that is either. I tried going there a few months back and I got the same thing.

Anyway, since I'm here, I'll ask this: How do I move stuff in several layers simultaneously? I'm going to add some audio before the beginning and I decided to do this just recently and I've already put some of my footage into a timeline and this took some time just to get in and sync.

SquallxRinoa(one of my favorite pairings), just how long have you been working on this video? I've been coming to this thread for a while and I've noticed that your help screens consist of Kingdom Hearts series footage. Have you been working on one for video for the last several months, or what?

you can set up vegas to automatically open project media in the trimmer when you double click :3
I'm not at home so I can't tell you how to do it (I'd have to go through Vegas again to find it) or else I'd say how...

I've commented somewhere in here before i think ... and know that Divx/Xvid Formats are bad to edit with so I just wanna know ..

What formats are good for editing with Sony Vegas and what converter do I use to convert videos to said formats ?

Encoding the videos into HuffyUV or Lagarith are what you should use. Personally, I use Lagarith for the clips and encode my master as a HuffyUV. Anyway, you can do that in Virtual Dub Mod. Just have your settings at Fast Recompress instead of Full Processing Mode.
