I am making a title for a friend's project. The part I'm working on is the name of a painter that flies in, letter by letter to the backdrop. The letters start out very small, off screen and I used 3-D source for each line.. and each line is a letter in his name. I got the effect I wanted and it pre-renders fine (Shift B). But, when I try to render the project to anything, AVI, MPEG, WMV it locks up Vegas to the point I have to use Task Manager to close it.
I've narrowed it down to this. The guy's name is ten letters... thus ten lines on the time line. It will render eight lines (any eight for that matter) just fine. It's when you add the ninth (or tenth) then it locks up. And it locks up on the keyframe where that letter (#8) starts moving.
I totally re-did the project from scratch this morning, thinking something was corrupt in the first one. I've tried it on two different computers. I've tried rendering the first name then his last to AVI then adding them to a seperate veg and splicing them together... But since the letters fly in separtely, There is no way to keep both names on the screen at the same time. (I did a mask, and thought it would work, but the drop shadow on his first name disappeared and it was very noticable).
This should have been easy. It should ahve taken 30 minutes and it's been a day and a half and I'm totally out of ideas. If you have any ideas, I'd appreciate any help. I can e-mail you the file (I don't have a web server). Email me at rv6tc (at) yahoo.com
Thanks,
(pulling my hair out!)
