@hagen552 Don't reformat your hard drive. Doing so will delete Windows, and all installed programs and data. It is far easier and safer to get a second hard drive. You can find 1tbyte external drives for under $70.

@guerillabill Would reformatting my hard drive do the job?

[guerillabill]

@hagen552 Out of memory means there is not enough RAM to do the render. This can occur if your Windows XP computer has less than 3 Gig of RAM memory. The fact that you have dropped frames in your captured video and are seeing 'out of memory' errors usually means your computer is not up to the task of editing HD video.

You might be able to add more RAM memory, but if you only have 13gig of hard drive space left, you also need to add another harddrive. Might be better to get a new computer

@guerillabill OK, now that problem is fixed, but when I press render, it says that the system is out of memory even though it is set on 720p video, and my computer has over 13 gig left. It says that closing other programs will help, but it still says that even when there are no other programs open. Please tell me that there is a way to fix that :/.

@guerillabill OK, thank you.

@hagen552 You can highlight each frame individually and delete it. Before you do this, you might want to turn autoripple on so Vegas will automatically fill the space between the deleted frames.

[hagen552]

@guerillabill Is there anyway to make the red or black frames go away?

[guerillabill]

@hagen552 Black flickering usually means dropped or missing frames in the source video. You can verify this by expanding the timeline to frame by frame view, and looking for red frames.  A red frame indicates a dropped frame.

I'm editing a short in Vegas right now, and for some reason, the clips keep flickering black and it's really annoying, but the clips are fine when I watch them outside of Vegas. How could I fix this?

@guerillabill Thanks, kind of ironic using Camtasia for Vegas videos. I too am a fan of Camtasia and have 7.1. Camtasia is nice, but it won't accept .mts files from my Panasonic tm90 or Sony 560. Wonder why Camtasia won't accept AVCHD files. Rick
