combining projects together in one project
I have 5 different vegas projects that i have rough editted yesterday and i want to put those together into 1 final vegas project, splice them together and then render.
if i open clip one, everything is fine, but if i tried to drag the rest of the clips into project media and then into the main project i get the video and the first 25 seconds of audio.
i’m sure this is a rookie error, can someone tell me the correct way to get these projects into 1 big project with the audio?
if i just double click on each project and it opens on its own in a new vegas window the audio is there and is fine
what am i doing wrong?
thanks

Start a brand new project and import the 5 veg files from yesterday.
After import, it has to build (for lack of a beter word) a proxy file so be patient while this is done.
Drag each one to the timeline in the desired order and start editing.Be advised that doing this (it’s called nested vegs) will reduce any multi-track work to a single video track and a stereo audio track.
If you want to edit any individual veg file a bit more, right-click and select ‘open in Vegas’ (or something like that).
It starts up a new instance of Vegas with the original file intact to allow you to do further editing.
Make your changes, save and close it and the master project is instantly updated. -
doesn’t it show the percentage of the proxy finished in the bottom left corner?
I was aware of this but when i import my 5 files into the project media it doesn’t build them.
if i then drop into the track i still get only 20 seconds of audio.

If you don’t need the previous attempts, another way around this is to import the media parts again.
Of course, you will loose your previous arrangement, but there may well be a way around this.
anyone?
Sony Vegas 9 Pro 🙂

unfortunately there were some pretty extensive edits made to the original projects so getting rid of them isn’t an option
i guess i’ll have to render each piece seperately then add them all together and render again.
what a pain and waist of time though

Yes, it does.
I was aware of this but when i import my 5 files into the project media it doesn’t build them.
Then there’s something wrong, either with the veg file itself or your computer.
if i then drop into the track i still get only 20 seconds of audio.
I’ve never heard of that happening.
What version of Vegas are you using?i guess i’ll have to render each piece seperately then add them all together and render again.
“what a pain and waist of time though”Before nested vegs came along, I did this all the time.
Render each veg to DV-AVI (if that’s what the source material was) using Best mode, import all them into a new project and do your final render to the format of choice.
The AVI encoder in Vegas is very good and you’ll be hard pressed to see any image degradation.
