I am not able to use keyframes for most FX. I am using Vegas Pro Version 11.0 (build 595) 64-bit. Here is info on my machine: OS Name Microsoft Windows 7 Professional Version 6.1.7601 Service Pack 1 Build 7601 System Manufacturer Hewlett-Packard System Model h8-1280t System Type x64-based PC Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3930K CPU @ 3.20GHz, 3201 Mhz, 6 Core(s), 12 Logical Installed Physical Memory (RAM) 16.0 GB Graphics AMD Radeon HD 6850 Adapter Type ATI display adapter (0x6739), Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. compatible Adapter Description AMD Radeon HD 6850 Adapter RAM 1.00 GB (1,073,741,824 bytes) Installed Drivers aticfx64.dll,aticfx64.dll,aticfx64.dll,aticfx32,aticfx32,aticfx32,atiumd64.dll,atidxx64.dll,atidxx64.dll,atiumdag,atidxx32,atidxx32,atiumdva,atiumd6a.cap,atitmm64.dll Driver Version 8.892.1.1000 INF File oem54.inf (ati2mtag_NI section) Color Planes Not Available Color Table Entries 4294967296 Resolution 1920 x 1080 x 60 hertz Bits/Pixel 32 Driver c:\windows\system32\drivers\atikmpag.sys (8.14.1.6229, 303.50 KB (310,784 bytes), 2/24/2012 11:53 PM) I have had my machine for two weeks. My previous machine was Windows XP running Vegas 9.0. I first noticed a problem on this machine two days ago when I attempted to add a keyframe to the video bus track on a Broadcast Colors effect. Vegas would not allow any keyframes to be added. I was frantic for awhile and could not get my way out of it. After checking the forum I tried to further diagnostics. I discovered this: The following FX will not allow animation: Add Noise Black and White Brightness and Contrast Broadcast Colors Bump Map Chroma Keyer Color Balance Color Corrector Color Corrector (Secondary) Convolution Kernel Cookie Cutter Fill Light Gaussian Blur Glow HSL Adjust Invert Lens Flare Levels Linear Blur Mask Generator Median Min and Max Mirror Pixelate Quick Blur Radial Blur Radial Pixelate Saturation Adjust Sepia Sharpen Spherize Stereoscopic 3D Adjust Timecode Unsharp Mask White Balance The following FX do allow animation: Black Restore Border Channel Blend Chroma Blur Color Curves Defocus Deform Film Effects Film Grain Glint Gradient Map Light Rays News Print Pinch/Punch Rays Soft Contrast Starburst Swirl Threshold TV Simulator Wave I noticed that the FX which do not allow keyframes and animation are all GPU-accelerated FX. Am I experiencing a bug or do I have something set incorrectly? |

OK . . . . . I appreciate John's puzzlement: Why do some and not others. And I'll attempt to answer that one in saying that the FXs that have that hefty "Animate" button at the bottom of the FX Menu, only have ONE control e.g. "Black Restore". However, "Add Noise" has several Controls. And to animate each of those Controls FX TImelines, we need to click on that little "ClockFace" - something to happen over time(?). This will get you access to Animate for that Control, and it opens up ALL the FX timeline features. So, single Control SONY FXs have the big animate button, and then SONY FXs that have Multiple Controls have an Animate Button to the Right of each and every Control. Not expected, but a clever way for SCS to get us to control our multi-control FXs. Grazie |

That's the answer! Grazie, Grazie! Did this change in 10 or 11? |

I believe in version 10 some of the plugins started migrating to the new OFX format. Along with this migration can the redesigned UI. Version 11 supposedly has many more of the plugins as OFX versions now. Seems a lot more confusing and less easy to use. |
