    In other NLEs I can specify an In and Out points for creating sub clips, making cuts, etc, rather than using the mouse. Is there a way to achieve this in Vegas?

    At the bottom of the trimmer window there are three boxes. Right click the first box and from the menu chose begin selection. Type in the time code. Then right click the second box and chose end selection and type in time code. The right box will show you duration.

    Pressing “I” and “O” works as well. Find the in point and press “I”. Then find the out point and press “O”.

    The only time I know of when this won’t work is if you have the “Collapse Loop Region” turned on. I have the option turned on so I and O don’t work for me.

    Should it also work in the timeline? I and O seem to only determine the workspace rather than make a selection

    Also, why do the in and out points change when I move. I also am unable to scrub and change in and out points 🙁

    I and O will create a selection area on the timeline if the “collapse loop region” option is turned off. You can change the in/out points by clicking on the yellow heads and moving them. If you click somewhere else and drag, it will create a different selection area. Pressing the backspace key will rotate through the last five selection areas.
