    Posted by Paul Gregory on February 17, 2012 at 6:46 am

    It must be quite a time since I used some features because I don’t seem to be able to do some things as I recall. I seem to recall doing a copy & paste between projects by doing a CTRL A copy of first timeline & then doing a paste onto a new timeline. When I try this now I notice that the chapter markers aren’t copied. Did I do something wrong or have things changed? I’m using Vegas 10.

    The other thing that I recall is having a project on the timeline & then click open & being able to drag another veg file onto the timeline & have it open where I wanted it. Is there some setting that I missed?

    Any help would be apprecieated.

    Thanks in advance

    Chapter markers aren’t copied. Render it out in a format that supports markers and won’t degrade your video and drag it into the new timeline. Click Tools > Scripting > Promote Media Markers. You can also drag the old .veg project file (from the same version of Vegas) into a new project’s timeline… but Vegas will want to render it once you do this.

    I would have liked to be able to just drag an another veg files onto the timeline immedieately after the end of the current project. I go to file>open tab select another veg file & drag it onto the timeline but nothing happens. Is there some special tecnique for doing this?

    Thanks in advance

    You need to import the veg file into an existing project.

    I’m doing file>import>media & then selecting a veg file & click open. One or the other of 2 things happens. The little twirling circle goes for a few seconds & stops or I see that the the program is builing peaks. In either case nothing happenns to the timeline. Only the original timeline data appears.

    Maybe I should just do a reinstall of the program since I’m also having a display problem as well inasmuch as if I have have the cursor at the end of the timeline & double click the preview window disapears.

    Thanks in advance
