  1. Ok so I did something stupid whilst rendering a video, I had the box "close media files when not focused" checked and I tabbed out while rendering. I unchecked the box and was going to re-render the video because of course it came out black but then I find the majority of the video won't play in the time line now either and still renders black. Is there any way to fix this without redoing the entire video? It has like 30 cuts in it and a narration timed to those cuts and I don't want to redo the entire thing Is there a way to force it to reload the files or something? It will play a couple frames every minute or so but that's it!

    That check box has to do with releasing locks on the files.

    Maybe it doesn't play because you encoded it messed up.

    Don't expect "live Realtime" in the preview window, especially on camera video. That stuff is highly compressed.

    What is "Tabbed Out"? You mean Minimized? Nothing wrong with that, unless you use the computer at the same time.

    Is it an Apple MP4? You need QuickTime installed.

    The file I rendered doesn't play but now also the timeline preview doesn't display any video, I don't mean not in real time I mean at all. Imagine throwing a video file in there and it's just blank in the preview.

    I rendered it the same way I've rendered hundreds of videos but I just recently upgraded to 12 from 10.

    It's a Windows Media .wmv

    and yes by tabbed out I meant I opened firefox and was on Facebook.

    I'm making a video now of the problem so you can see it without me having to try to explain it

    Make a custom render template. Use the attributes of the old v10 Vegas.

    Ok I made a video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PrwI734akOE&feature=youtu.be


    I did it literally as fast as possible so careful about the sound, I didn't level it.

  6. Make sure the project is saved, then close vegas & all video applications including media players (It's probably better to reboot as well) , then reopen.

    Yes, or I was going to mention "recapture media".

    I'll try that, I tried doing that and deleting the cache files Vegas created but it said they were in use, maybe ill try restarting and see if that helps

  9. If the reboot still doesn't fix it, disable GPU accelaration - it can do funky things in vegas

    Another option is to build a proxy. Right click the media in the project media window.
