How to do a simple b-roll insert with in and out point?
Hi All!
I come from Premiere Pro for many years and I am trying my hand at Vegas. (Client had some Vegas project files I have to use). Version 13 is what I have.
I know this seems like such a simple question, but for some reason all the Youtube tutorials I watch say to drag the clip to the timeline, THEN edit the in and out points. Seems weird since I am used to setting my ins and outs in Premiere BEFORE I drag it to the timeline.
I am using the Trimmer window which looks like a source monitor and in fact have set an in and out point, but when I try to insert it on the timeline, it still inserts the whole clip. What am I missing here?
Also, is there a way to insert just the video part of the clip? (Another Youtube tutorial said to drag the whole clip to the timeline, set in and out points, delete the audio from the clip and delete the extra audio track it created.) Seems like WAY too many steps!!
Thanks for any help you have and any tricks to make it more similar to Premiere (if that’s even possible).

Like everything else, it’s pretty easy once you know how.
In Trimmer, first set your in and out point. Then click on “Create Subclip” which will add just the selected video to the Project window.
Then right-click on the newly created subclip and drag to the timeline while holding the mouse button down. Once you release the right mouse button the following dialog will appear allowing you to select audio or video as well as other options.

Hi Bill! Make your Selection in Trimmer by Dragging and then hit TAB. Keep hitting TAB and this will let you to “cycle” through VIDEO and AUDIO, or VIDEO or just AUDIO. Now, if you’re careful you can actually DRAG Select your choice ????.
This is how I do 90% of my Edit assemblages for the Timeline. I now couldn’t do my Edit assemblages without Trimmer. It gives me an Organic or natural outcome to my storyline.
