Save as and trim does not cut up .m2t files.
Has anyone else noticed this issue when using the Save As and you want to trim the media. I have a 25 minutes project and I am only using about 5 minutes of a 35 minute clip that is 6GB. It doesn’t trim that file down when saving. Any fix or work-around.

Vegas is a non-distructive NLE, as most are now days. Just saving will save the project, so you can open it again just how you left it.
What you can do is select the part you want, (yellow loop points at top of time line) Render as 720P or 1080i, which ever your m2t files are and make sure to check “render looped region only”, but first under options, preferences, theres an option to check “Enable no-recompress long_GOP rendering”. Make sure this is checked. Then it will not re-render the video as long as you didn’t add any effects, Just shorten it to the loop points you set. Hope this helps, Danny Hays -
Thanks this worked. Too bad Vegas can’t do this automatically when you save the media with the project.

It can, in a since. When you click save as, check the copy media with project at the bottom left. then a window opens allowing you to only save created trimmed copies of source media. default is 2 seconds on ech clip at the beginning and end in case you wanted to add a little later, but you could set it to zero and get what your asking for. This also leaves you original clips at their full length, in their original location. It makes copies of what you used in your sessions. Hope this helps,

Yes, this is what I have been doing, but Vegas doesn’t seem to cut .m2t files when you save it this way. Is that a restrictions in Vegas Movie Studio Platinum. I am running version 9.0b (build 92).
