Activity Forums VEGAS Pro Copy/Paste Question

  • Copy/Paste Question

    Posted by Ron Whitaker on August 6, 2012 at 12:24 am

    I have a template I set up in SVP 11. The template has some video of the intro that’ll proceed each of my videos, along with the audio jingle, and a lower-thirds that will appear over the person speaking.

    In another project, I created and edited a video of someone speaking. I have other video tracks as well.

    What is the best way to copy and paste those in the second project into the first (template) project?

    Is it best to insert the number of video/audio tracks in the template project that are in the second project, and then simply copy the audio/video tracks from the second project into the template?

    I hope that wasn’t too confusing!

    I would just use a nest project. Just drag the project of the person speaking and drop it on the track under the lower third and you’re done. It will behave as a single piece of media and you can always right-click on it and open the original project if you need to edit any of the tracks. I work like this all the time. It’s one of the best features in Vegas Pro IMHO.

    Thanks.

    That’s what I decided to do. I wanted to avoid it at first because it looked too confusing, but after playing with it a little, it’s not that bad.

    That’s the route I’m going to take.

    Yea, it’s really a great feature once you get the hang of it. I use it a lot for opening sequences that have a lot of tracks, or when creating training DVD’s that have several chapters.
