Transfering projects to Final Cut Pro
Hi All:
I am a new user of Vegas 7 and so far love it!
I have a new business partner that is a professional editor and would like to edit a mutual project we are working on in Final Cut Pro, his software of choice for years. I have edited the project from 2 AVI source files into a rough version of what I want to see in the final clean version. There are several takes from different points in those AVI files that make up the final rough cut. The video is 1 minute long including the title, and there is no audio in the file.
What I am wondering is if there is a way to slice and save the video segments of the project into separate files that have roughly 10 seconds of “before and after” time per clip to allow him to massage the video as necessary when he re-assembles them in Final Cut Pro. The goal is to give him a DVD with the final rough cut version I made (kind of a story board DVD clip) and all of the clips I used pulled from the 2 AVI files for him to re-assemble. Having him manually go through the 2 AVI files to find my edit clips would be time consuming and seems the wrong way to go about this, and I am not really sure how I would do that anyway.
Ultimately, I want to give him a DVD of the individual file segments that I have edited, along with a copy for the video clip of what I have done so he sees the final rough cut of what I have invisioned for the clip. He is actually doing the final version of the video (having more experience in color correcting and cleaning up the video, adding the music, etc).
Any ideas as to how I should go about this?
Thanks for the advice!

At the bottom of the Save As dialog, there is a choce to ‘copy and trim media with project’.
In the same dialog, you can select type AAF for project export. You may need a Automatic Duck on the FCP side.

Hi again!
I forgot to reply to this post again to let you know that I appreciated your reply: It did the trick! Thanks for the help! I must say, this was MUCH easier than trying to export the video this way in Premiere Pro! Vegas is an amazing program!
