Hello again,
I have been experiencing an ongoing problem in Vegas 6 when prerendering my video as an uncompressed AVI file and then rendering the final product. I have included an example of my problem at the end.
When working on a large project, it's useful to pre-render portions of the video that will not be touched later, this way I never have to render those portions again. However, when prerendering in an uncompressed AVI format, the Render feature will ignore my prerendered strips. I would plead that if this is a bug, it be fixed. If not, then I would plead that my error be explained by someone genorous here. I'm really very surprised that I could not find this problem addressed on the forums, even if I'm missing something obvious.
You can try this yourself.
First, I start a project with these settings:
Width: 655
Height: 480
Field order: None (progressive scan)
Pixel Aspect Ratio: 1.000 (Square)
Frame rate: 29.970 (NTSC)
I leave everything else as it is.
Then, for this particular experiment, I create a video layer and place a 20 second clip of Text Media "Sample Text". Then, I add one Video Event FX, it can be anything, for this expirement I add Film Grain. The point of this is to create a track that would be useful to pre-prerender if working on other events in the timeline.
Now, SHIFT+M, because its time to prerender! Select Custom, and use the following entries.
Frame size: (Use project settings), or you can even specify
Frame rate: 29.970 (NTSC)
Field order: Progressive Scan
Pixel aspect ratio: 1.0000
Video format: Uncompressed
I leave everything else as it is. I even save this template for my later use in RENDER (just incase).
After the video is prerendered, everything seems to be just as it should be. Now, goto File -> Render As, and use the exact settings you did for your prerendering. I saved a template earlier in prerendering so I just use that. Now save your project.
You will sit through the rendering process again! Here is my example .VEG file.

I would appreciate any feedback, even just an 'i tried it' and results from another user. Thanks everyone.
