    Posted by Bill Cortez on February 15, 2009 at 12:51 am

    How do I drop video and audio onto nonadjacent tracks from the trimmer to the timeline. For example, video to track 1 and audio to track 4 (I have the “Ignore Event Grouping” icon checked). I select tracks 1 and four before using the “A” key, but the audio always stays directly under the video and I have to move the audio later, creating another step. Thanks, Bill.

    When you add a video file with audio embedded, it does like you said. But you can select both audio and video events and hit the U key to ungroup them from each other. You can then drag either to any other track, audio to an audio track and video to a video track. hope this helps, Dany Hays

    Hi Danny

    Would you know how to make the video tracks appear like they do in Premiere Pro ?

    video 3
    video 2
    video 1
    audio 1
    audio 2
    audio 3

    actually the Vegas Pro 8 web page has a big screenshot of Vegas doing just that

    but when I put video in it makes it

    video 2
    audio 2
    video 1
    audio 1

    I much prefer the Premiere way …… I also miss the razor tool and the mark in/out rather than trying to remember 101 new keyboard short cuts ….. which aren’t ….. if I can’t remember them !!!

    thanks from Dave

    You should be able to just click in the track header, by the volume fader but on a blank area and drag the tracks to what ever position you want them in. As far as the razor tool, select the video or wave event to highlight it and put the curser where you want to split and hit the s key. By default the audio and video tracks captured together are grouped and both will split with this method. To ungroup the audio and video tracks, select both and hit the u key to ungroup them. Hope this helps, Danny Hays
