  • A way to mix multiples clips from differents tracks together ?

    Posted by Timothée Ferreol on March 18, 2015 at 10:17 pm

    Hey !

    First, I am not a beginner at Vegas, I’ve been using it a lot, so it’s quite likely that what I am looking for may imply the use a script.
    I simply have footage from 2 cameras and I’m sick of ctrl x Ctrl V all the time in order to mix the footage from one track to an other. I would like to find a way to automaticaly add all the clips from one track to an other. I don’t want them to be put randomly but just so that they go all in between every clips on the track
    Do you get what I mean 😉 ? Sorry if I am not clear, the problem is pretty simple though.

    Thank you in advance, if you can help me 😉

    OK, if I understand you correctly then what you have now is this:-

    And what you want is this:-

    If this is the case then Select all the Events on Track 2 and hit the UP Arrow on the Numeric KeyPad.

    Thank you very much for the quick answer with the pictures. I really appreciate it 😉
    That’s a nice and usefull shortcut, I didn’t know it, and I am gonna use it for sur, nevertheless this not what I am typical looking for.
    Basically, this is exactly what you described, but on the first picture I did not create the gaps (and hell I don’t want to spend times creating them ^^).
    Do you think there is a way to obtain picture 2 without creating the gaps of picture 1 ?
    Because when I use up arrow on my numeric keypad, it just moves the clips on the other clips, not in between.

    You can do it with Vegasaur: Place all the clips on one track and sort them chronologically

    Yeah I don’t have Vegasaur but from the description they give it seems to be exactly what I want ! Thank you very much (I just have to make sure the timecode of my medias are right 😉

    Would using the Project Media window Details view, arranging the Modified column, clicking the upper left corner and importing all to a new track be an option too?

    So, essentially you’re doing a 2-Camera Edit? Yes?

    Yep, I’m doing a 2 camera edit, exactly this 😉

    Erm? When I’ve done the Vegas 2-Camera edit, I can click on the Button and all the edited work folds back into one track. Are you using this option? There are several 3Party plugs for multi-camera editing.

    Thanks for the answers guys I appreciate it a lot !
    I do use the multi-camera editing option (very handy btw) when the 2 cameras are rolling all the time and shooting the exact same subject, like for an interview but this is absolutely not the case here.
    My clips are mainly composed of b roll.
    Jorma Nippala this is a great idea too, I don’t know why I never thought about it before ! I Love it ! Am gonna save a lot of time thanks to your suggestions guys 😉
