how do I create & render different clips from main footage clip please
I have my main Footage if I wanted to create a bunch of separate clips and render each one to be its own mp4 How to do this using vegas pro 12 (newbie to all this!)
Question 1
So for example I have a main clip talk doing to camera and various subject matter etc got covered I want to firstly color correct entire clip (since it was taken as one long take)
so I presume that would be logical firsts step yes?
(I know how to split a clip ok) – what I need to know though please is this:
What is the best approach please explain I need to do to split the numerous certain subject matter that got discussed into their own clips and render each one on its own to mp4?
(Some final clips to be mp4 might be 20 secs other a minute or so)I will probably have about 6 max taken from main entire footage and each one of those say 6 I want to have end up as its own mp4
(I have my setting for the MP4 no problems there)
I just want to know the best logical quickest approach to create 6 separate clips from main footage and convert each one to its own mp4 – so how best to do it please?
*** Question 2
Also, is there a way to copy any color corrections you did and apply same ones used to future clips I bring in?
Because I started /stopped the camera a few times when filming I wanted to bring in those other various main footage and also apply the same color duplicate correction I did on the very first main footage to all the other ones since I have about 5 main footage clips in total to all have same colour correction and then they will be split into their own little mp4 clips
Hence so how I copy color correction once happy and apply same ones used to any other footage as and when brought in rather then take ages applying color correction to each main footage the camera produced since same light environment and subject matter etc
many thanks

Just to break down what you’ve asked it is :
Question 1
How do I render collections or “batches” of footage to MP4?
Question 2How do I apply colour correction to all existing or newly imported footage?
Grazie

Question 1:
Vegas Pro has Batch Render script, there are also commercial tools for batch rendering
Question 2:
you can apply color correction to the track with all your clips, or copy it with Paste Event Attributes command. You can also save your settings as a preset chain and use it in other projects. Read Help for more details.

Aleksey Tarasov thanks for your reply HOWEVER doing this batch render thing plugin for me firstly way over my head just reading the jargon from the link you gave complete techo language sorry for me anyways (I am brand new to video editing and sony vegas…)
PLUS do not want to start buying such a purchase (I noticed one has to pay for it) just to in my case grab a few segments from a main footage and create a few mp4 clips from those splits in the footage that go with the changing subjects talked about to a person listening.
****Hence got a be a simple explanation and way to do this please****
i.e. How do I render a few collections of split clips or “batches” taken from the main footage to have those several split clips rendered to MP4***Do I for example maybe copy /paste split clips I want and create a new project file and render each one?
o, still non the wiser – what do I do please I will probably have 4 to 6 split clips in the end from the main one wanting to be their own rendered mp4. -
For the very simple outcomes you want, I do it with the existing Tools Vegas already has.
OK, Jenny, I have 2 questions:
Q1 : What version of Vegas are you using?
Q2 : Do you know what a SELECTION is and how to make a SELECTION?
Grazie

You will find Batch Render script in the Tools > Scripting menu.
You should create regions for all your clips and run this script.
p.s. you need Vegas PRO version -
Aleksey Tarasov Thanks…
****QUESTION on Vegasaur****
I noticed Vegasaur does lots of things looks interesting and tool bar it adds to vegas and has a free trial am going to ‘try’ and play with some of the things it does and also batch render feature…
the issue I have though not a single ‘how to video’ out there on using Vegasaur indeed any of it I can see…. not even how to batch render in fact spent over an hour googling, youtube not a thing.
Yes results come up for few forums on it and people mention it and really like it but none the less, NOTHING on HOW to USE it anywhere and gosh really can’t waste too much time figuring it all out with no tuts on it!
Hmm, for me kind of off putting in getting paid for version down the road…if one has no ideas how to use all the other things it can do (The list what it can do looks impressive and useful when combined inside sony vegas)
I have only discovered since re editing this post you are the developer Do you know of any or can do some? and let alone How to use it to render several clips?
many thanks

Jenny – Aleksey has, in my opinion, created an indispensable tool for Vegas users in Vegasaur. Yes, unfortunately, the documentation is very thin. On the other hand, just ask a question here and you will get prompt replies – usually from Aleksy. (If we could only get that kind of love from Sony…)
Also (Grazie, you knew this was coming)…
There are no clips on the timeline. Everything on the timeline is an event. If you search the help files or manual for “how to do something with clips on the timeline”, you won’t get any hits.
As in film editing, clips refer to physical media and are represented in the Project Media window. Events point to the clips in the Project Media. You can have many events on the timeline that reference the same media clip, but the timeline treats every event as a separate entity. You can apply different F/X to each event and never touch the media clip. It never gets changed by Vegas (which is the purpose of non-destructive editing). Also, for future reference, if you want to apply the same F/X to every event that uses a media clip, do it in the Event Media window one time.
Hope this helps.
