Can sound continue from one clip while another vid clip is seen
I don’t know what term to search for in Sony Vegas help. But what I want instructions for is how to keep the sound from the previous video clip continuing, while another muted video is playing for a few seconds.

Yep, just unlink the Video from the Audio track on your event (U) and then the two can be moved independently.

OK, but I dont see “unlink” on the main screen, in any dropdown menu, and “unlink” doesn’t even show up in a search of the “help” file. So can you tell me how to unlink the audio from a video? I should mention that I just have the free trial version of Sony Vegas Movie Studio Platinum 8.0

It’s actually “Ungroup” and you press “U” to do it.
Another way is to just add another track above the existing tracks. Then you can put the alternate video on that new track. However, the “Movie Studio” versions are limited to 4 tracks – but that may still be enough.

Note: the following steps are for the full version of Vegas.
Movie Studio may not have these options.Click either the audio or video event and press the U (for Ungroup) key.
Adjust as desired.
To regroup, select one, hold down the Shift key and select the other and then press the G (for Group) key.
There may also be a timeline icon labeled “Ignore Event Grouping” that does the same thing. -
Thanks a lot. I am now able to get the “b-roll” video included by adding another video track timeline and deleting the sound. Obviously I am brand new at video editing. This Vegas program seems to me as difficult to learn as Photoshop would be.

i used avid and premiere pro, then thought to myself, what the heck am i doing, after using vegas for two hours i fell in love.
Its the simplest, most straight forward program on the market today. Not only is it easy to learn, but its features are just as good as the “industry standards”. In fact, vegas has the best
audio capabilities than avid and fcp which cost more and have a deeper learning curve.And by the way, photoshop has more whistles and buttons than all the NLE’S put together.
you cant compare photoshop (an image, animation program) to vegas (An NLE). Apples and oranges.
