Video Effects Difficulties

Mike Kujbida · December 7th, 2010, 11:03 AM

Jeff, I don't think it's a bug as I've never read anything similar on all the Vegas forums that I'm on.
That's why I asked for a screen shot as I'm positive that it was a case of not knowing what to look for.
IMO, John gave up too quickly, especially considering the number of us wanting to help him sort though this.
I've experienced my share of issues over the years and 9 out of 10 times it's been operator error :-)

It appears as though it may be a bug. Just saw this thread pop up about fx icons not working.

I opened the thread. It's located here. http://www.dvinfo.net/forum/what-hap...ml#post1595852 I won't reiterate it here because it's pretty well explained in the thread.

Sorry guys but I'm not seeing this as the same problem, similar but not the identical.
In the "Can't Select Video FX Icons on clips on the timeline' thread, Jim said that he can't even get the FX box to open on one specific track.
In the "Video Effects Difficulties" thread, John said that he can open an effect but can't adjust it.

Mike, the link Jim sent us to is interesting. John, if this is a case of a bug, etc. then I sure own you an apology. On the other hand if this caught Mike K off guard, then it is certainly understandable that we "blamed" you. This is just a very new issue.

For those that don't know, you can also right click on a clip to bring up the effects box.

Mike while the issues seem different, I'm starting to wonder now if they might not be connected.

Not a problem, Jeff. It's defininately not a split screen issue as I can adjust some things (I went through every effect, finally) such as brightness and contrast and lens flare (amongst a handful of others), but can't with others - starburst, light rays and pro type titler in media generator (amongst others).

I didn't give up on it, I just uninstalled/reinstalled it with no change in the problem. I like Vegas and have edited a handful of projects with it already that didn't need video effects so I wasn't aware of the issue.

My apologies to everyone for not explaining myself very well. A screen shot wouldn't do much good, but maybe a short video would work so all could see what works and what doesn't. It's one of the strangest things I have encountered in any software.

I'm going to check out Jim's link and see what that's about. Thank you to all for your assistance.

I strongly suspect a bug....
