Scott, I have a problem with Sonicfire Pro 5. I am using it with Sony Vegas Pro 8.
When I import a program to add music. I put it on the timeline. . As, I drag the curser across the time line, I get no picture. I can drag the curser to a to a point, while dragging I see no picture.
When I stop the curser, there is no picture.
I do not get a picture until I press the space bar. As you know it then starts to run. This makes it very hard to add marks etc;.
I have download all the update from Sonicfire. I still have the same problem. What I am I doing wrong?

Scott the file I am importing is MainConcept MPEG-2
I must render the file in Sony before I bring it to Sonicfire. As far as I know that is the only way I can work in Sonicfire with Sony. If there is another way let me know. May be, I just work these things out best as I can. Please explain as simple as possible, as I am not smart on this stuff.

MPEG-2 is a format that we sometimes work with and sometimes don't. This is because we are using the Window Media or QuickTime player for video playback and if the MPEG-2 codec is missing, we can't play that video format. It would be better, since you are already rendering, to render out of Vegas as and MPEG-1 or QuickTime movie. You can make the file low-res and as small as you want since you are just using it as a reference video in Sonicfire.
