    When I first purchased Vegas (many years ago) I had a tutorial and it had a short cut for placing either video or audio on the timeline without having to do the right click thing and selecting “video only” or “audio only” and so on”
    I’d like to know that shortcut again.

    If you are talking about adding from the trimmer window, that shortcut is the Tab key. Pressing Tab cycles through both/video/audio.

    Yes, that’s for cycling through. Roger was asking for a shortcut for adding to the Timeline. And yes, if that’s for the Trimmer, that’s a longer response – better explained through the art form of video or complex mime….

    OK… I right click an event from the explorer window and drop it on the timeline. There it asks me what I want to do such as video only across timeline, etc.
    There is a way to hold down say for instance the shift key and then when the event is dropped on the timeline, just the video event appears and leaves off the audio. (except it’s not the shift key, it’s something else)without having to go through the dropdown boxes.

    Roger, gives us something more to go on? Any clue or when you used it last?

    OK… If you want to apply a transition between two events, you can hold down your shift key and drag the transition to where you want it to be. By holding the shift key you will NOT get the pop up box that lets you change the parameters. It will simply place the transition between the events as the default transition.

    So, that’s similar to what I use to do when putting an event on the timeline without the audio track. It would just place the video event.
