Copied Subclips to New Project, BUT Names Lost
I hope it’s not a problem but I am re-posting this question, hoping that some of the experts and other readers were away or busy before Christmas but can now help with this still-crucial question.
(originally posted Dec 11)
————————————————After googling (“import subclips” OR “move subclips” OR “render subclips”), I found a certain book which mentions how to copy subclips between projects. As instructed, I put the subclips into a bin, then copied the bin to the other project. Alas, in the new bin the subclips’ customized names have been reduced to “Source_1_Filename.avi – subclip 1”, etc.
*** How can I preserve the subclips’ names when copying a bin between projects? ***
Thank you all.

Thanks for replying, Edward.
Regarding “Copied Subclips to New Project, BUT Names Lost”, I should have called it “Copied Subclips to *Another* Project, BUT Names Lost”, or clarified that I wanted to bring 60 projects’ subclips into one project. “New” is ambiguous – I meant not “a blank project” but “a project that is new for these subclips, one which they have not been in”.
So the “save as” method you suggested won’t help.Do you know why Vegas loses the subclip names?
Do you think it’s conceivable that a script could be written which would
(a) enable copying subclips with their names to another project,
or
(b) enable copying a batch of subclips’ names and then, after the user manually switches to the ‘new’ project, ‘pasting’ those names onto corresponding/selected/the-same-#-of subclips.
I can do the first part of (b):
I run the script ‘Export Regions as Subtitles’, then in the view ‘Edit Details’ -> ‘Commands’, I click the top left corner to select all, then copy and paste into a spreadsheet.
