Thanks for the help earlier everyone but I seem to have another problem.

When I finish rendering my project and try to play it, all I see is a black screen, and it just shows a black screen for 7 minutes.(and my song isnt 7 minutes, its more like 4)

Got any ideas?

you could try closing the program and trying to render again.

if that doesn't work then maybe it's the way you are compressing it.

oh and when you render the preview screen shows you what frame its on.
so if it doesn't start at 0 then there is somthing wrong.

The "black screen factor" i usually related to using videos compressed with MPEG-4 codecs (XviD and DivX) as source. Sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn't and I really don't know how one can gain control over that (a similar error occurs when using MJPEG lossy in Premiere, where the preview window shows random frames from your project).

As for the video lasting seven minutes instead of four, try pulling back the work area bar until it only covers the part that you actually want to render.

hey

i have a little problem. When i render a clip in vegas 6.0 it comes out alot darker than what it is in the preview window. Its too dark in many spots to see some of the important parts in the AMV. Does anyone know how to fix it or wats wrong?

I thought it may have been the codec or something but i noticed that its only been rendering dark lately. It never use to do it.

Any help would be appreciated, cheers

I have no clue to that because I've personally never experienced a color problem with rendering.... Someone else might know...

Wow, gone for like two months and this thread explodes with two extra pages.
