  • Cutting and Pasting across Projects

    I would have thought this would be the simplest thing in the world, and maybe I’m just a real newbie if I can’t make this happen, but here’s my problem:

    I’ve created a video that’s 25 minutes long, as the first project. I have made a 2 minute trailer as a second project. The first minute of the trailer is identical to the first minute of the main full-blown video project.

    When I make changes to the first minute of the full-blown project, I need to copy those events from project #1 and paste them into project #2 so that the trailer reflects my improvements too.

    How the heck do y’all do this? It seems quite simple, but you can’t seem to copy and paste across projects!

    Remember you can drop whole projects(.veg) on to another timeline. here’s how I’d do it:

    save your 25min project as a third project > split all tracks at the minute marker > delete everything after minute one > save it > drop that .veg on to your trailers timeline with ripple edit on. Obviously you would delete the first minute of your trailer and replace with it the new .veg.

    Open Vegas TWICE and open BOTH projects. Now you can copy and paste between the two instances of Vegas.
