  • How to Group 2 clips? (opposite of split)

    Posted by David Hunt on February 26, 2010 at 12:41 pm

    I have videos that are broken down into chunks due to file size (4GB chunks) and I would like to span them with a Pan/Zoom. Normally I just copy the coordinates of the Pan/Zoom to each clip. Is there a way to group the clips together so that I can apply a Pan/Zoom or any other effect to the entire timeline of that track?

    Instead of splitting 1 clip into 2, I want to combine 2 clips into 1.

    Thanks

    Grouping multiple events is easy: select all the events you would like to group en select in the menu: EDIT-GROUP-CREATE NEW.

    However, when you would like to add an effect to a whole track, it is easier to add the FX to the track instead of the individual events. You can add an FX to a track in the track-header. You can even add an FX to a whole project!

    To add the event pan crop tool to a whole track, it might be easier to add this track with multiple events to your main project as a nested project.

    Maybe you want your video divided into 4GB chunks? If not consider reformating your HD to NTFS from FAT32.

    If you’re using Vegas Pro, bump the files together edge to edge on the timeline and save this to a VEG file. Then crate a new project and drag that VEG onto the timeline. Vegas will treat it a single event, and you’ll be able to pan/zoom around it.

    Thats exactly what I meant when I talked about nested files….
