hello, how do i recover my time line when i over extend preview window

[guerillabill]

@mannsinnx Just click and drag the top of the preview window to a smaller size. Doing so will allow the time line to be seen again.

hey bill,

is it possible to slow down video as well as the sound? ive noticed that slowing down the sound (using the ctrl+left mouse) will distort the sound into choppy bits rahter than one slow sound

[guerillabill]

@PcJaiden828 To get better sound after you slow the video, right click the sound track, choose properties, and on the properties page, click 'lock to stretch'.

Bill, is it possible to update to a newer version of Sony Vegas (movie studio) without buying a whole new package? I know there is an update section on their site and was wondering if that could be it.

[guerillabill]

@TheNeoChamp Sony does offer an update, but the update from Sony costs just a few dollars less than the full version Amazon - which is now under $75.
