Ignore fact chunk when
opening compressed WAV
files
When this check box is selected, Vegas Pro will ignore fact chunks when opening
compressed WAV files.
A fact chunk stores information about the number of samples contained in a
compressed WAV file. If you experience problems opening a compressed WAV file,
select this check box and reopen the file.
Note: If you change the setting of this check box, delete any proxy (.sfap0) files
associated with compressed WAV files.
Allow pulldown removal
when opening 24p DV
Select this option to have Vegas Pro software remove pulldown on DV video files in 24
fps progressive-scan (24p) format. When this check box is cleared, Vegas Pro software
will open 24p files as 29.97 fps interlaced video (60i).
AAF Export - Use frame unit
for audio
Select this check box if you want to use frame units for audio tracks when you export
your project as an AAF file. When the check box is cleared, audio will be exported as
sample units.
Selecting the check box will improve compatibility with other applications for project
interchange: some applications will not import your project correctly when frame
units are used for video and sample units are used for audio.
Clear the check box only if your project contains audio only or if you know the
application that will import your AAF file supports frame units for video and sample
units for audio.
This setting has no effect when you export your project as an AAF and choose Avid
Legacy AAF File from the Save as Type drop-down list. Avid legacy AAF files are
always exported using frame units for audio.
AAF Export - Use clip-based
audio envelope
Select this check box if you want to combine track and event gain envelopes and save
them as clip-based gain envelopes when exporting AAF files.
For more information, see
Importing and exporting AAF files on page 46.
When the check box is cleared, track envelopes are saved as track envelopes, and
event envelopes are saved as clip envelopes.
Import MXF as multichannel When this check box is selected, Vegas Pro will import MXF files with all 8 channels
and create tracks for each. When this check box is cleared, Vegas Pro will import MXF
files as a single stereo track.
Import stereo as dual mono When this check box is selected, two-channel audio files will be opened as separate
mono audio events on separate tracks:
The audio events are grouped, and tracks that are created by adding media will be
panned hard left and hard right. You can select an event and choose Edit > Channels
to choose which channel is used for that event.
You can use this feature when working with two-channel source media that contains
two distinct audio channels, such as an interview in which channel 1 contains the
interviewer’s voice and channel 2 contains the subject’s voice.
When the check box is cleared, two-channel audio files will be opened as a stereo pair
on a single track:
