    What’s the easiest way with Vegas to do this:
    There is a narration clip with video and audio, but cut away to b-roll while the audio from the first clip continues. How?

    I find that the easiest way is to simply drop the b-roll clip over top of the a-roll clip.
    If the b-roll clip has audio, you’ll need to delete it but that’s easy to do.
    If you want it to fade in/out rather than cut, place it on a new track over the exisiting one and do a fade in/out on it.

    Excellent. How do you delete the audio from a clip?

    The easiest way (so you don’t delete the video as well) is to enable “Ignore Event Grouping” (should be a toolbar icon).
    Delete the audio and then disable this option again.

    Just click on the audio wave in the timeline and hit the delete key,, But you can also just turn that channel down. I always keep audio tracks that come in with video files because the wave view helps me see where you are and helps with syncing tracks together. Once you delete the audio track and save the project, you cannot recover it without re-recording it from tape or backup file. Danny

    Right-click on the video clip and select “Open in Trimmer”.
    Right-click on the clip in the Trimmer, drag it back to the timeline, place it over top of where the audio was deleted, follow the appropriate prompts and your deleted audio is back where it belongs.
