Sometimes, some clips that I use during the making of my videos go offline for no reason, and in most cases a solid red colour is visible on the clip's picture in the timeline. Does anyone know why this might be happening? When I reload Vegas, the clips return to normal. But I'm just wondering why this happens to me sometimes, especially since I upgraded to Vista.
if you're working with clips on an external hard drive then that might be the problem. those red blocks happen when vegas loses access to the clips, so if you have a hard drive that likes to stop working randomly (my first external did that all the time) then it will happen, just disconnect and reconnect the hard drive.

This is a very great and helpful guide, thank you for making it. ^_^

There is one problem I had though. When I tried to click and drag my video, it added it as an audio track, and I can't get it to add it as a video track. How do I fix this?

You editing losless(lagarith/huffyuv)?Its most likely if you're editing XviD's/DivX's clips.

Download xvid/divx codecs, install them and enjoy editing.

Gah...... this is the first time this has happened.

I made a test video, and the sound is gone when I go to play and review it. Why is this? >___<

Also, this error seems to happen when making Mpegs, but my AVI videos play the music. I NEED Mpegs..... >___<

You DON'T edit with XviD/DivX as BaQuM said, you edit with lossless .avis (lagarith, probably, or huffyuv).

As for making mpegs, you again render a lossless avi (and sound separately into wav, iirc) and THEN encode it into mpeg. There was a guide to this, I'll try to dig it up...

http://www.animemusicvideos.org/guides/ ... mpeg1.html

This is for mpeg-1, but mpeg-2 (if you want it) is very simmilar and managed by the same program.

Hope it helps.

How do I get rid of the colored blocks?
Every time I rendered a video, it reappears in a different part of the video, I'm not using divx anymore, both Lagerith and huffyyuv shows the same problem.
Any suggestions?
