Re: I am trying the trial version - cannot export video

Ah yes, well some filters are suitable for use in the Vegas environment, while others are not. Anything that requires the filter to fetch data from alternate frames in time will be a problem in Vegas because the Vegas API does not provide the filter any image data but the current parked-on frame. Thus the Optical Stabilizer filter will not be as usable in Vegas as it would be in FCP/AE/P Pro etc.

The alternative ... export the video from Vegas to the desktop, import into Boris RED, stabilize the clip and render to the desktop, then reimport the stabilized result into Vegas.

The idea of being able to use the FX and Graffiti application in standalone mode is that you can create a settings / project file on a lower powered system "off-line" from the main editing system. Then, when you are ready to use the effect that you created "off-line" you simply apply the effect to the clip in the Vegas timeline and then load the saved setting / project file within the Graffiti / FX session and apply the effect back to the host timeline for rendering.

I hope this helps.
