exporting time display
i want to keep track of time as displayed in vegas. I am making a spreadsheet and need to keep track of the time of an event on a video. is there a way to copy so i can paste it somewhere else instead of manually entering the time?
thanks -

To grab the details of every Event on your timelime:
a. Alt-6 (Edit Details dialog)
b. Change droplist to Events
c. Select All fields or Active Takes from second droplist
d. Select All cells – click the top, leftmost cell (above “1”, left of “Track”)
e. Ctrl-C
f. in Excel, paste -
Thanks for the reply
but…
i really only need the time as displayed on the screen. I am using vegas more like a stopwatch to time things happening in the video. i find a particular moment ie a guys foot crossing a line and then when he crosses another mark, i can subtract times to figure out how long it took. Right now i have to type in the time displayed on a spreadsheet and then move the video forward and type down that time. subtract and i have the time. 35 different people and i start to have typos. So if i could copy and paste to the sheet, my crappy typing skills would be less involved. -
You could try using Markers. Use the same method as above but filter the Edit Details dialog by Markers instead of Events. I would just copy/paste everything and then remove the columns you don’t need. Use Excel to calculate the time differentials.

Drop a marker at the beginning and end of each segment you need timed.
Then do as Tyson suggested but change Events in part b to Markers.
