Assuming you have Vegas Pro, you’d be better off nesting the first project into the second one.
That way you don’t have to worry about any FX from project #1 affecting anything in project #2.

I assume nesting is where I drop the veg file of project 1 onto the timeline of project 2

That’s correct Martin.
Another advantage of nesting is that you can right-click the nested file and select “Edit in Vegas (*.veg)”.
This opens up the nested file in a new instance of Vegas allow you to make changes which, when saved, are immediately updated in the nested veg.

Thanks Mike for your help.

Hi Mike.

As long as we are talking about nesting, may I please see if I understand how to nest?

To nest, I would:
1. open a second instance of Vegas, and then
2. select the things I want to nest from my first instance [either select all (CTRL-A) or select some (CTRL-click)], and then
3. copy (CTRL-C), and
4. paste (CTRL-V) onto a new video track in the second instance of Vegas?

Thanks.

Norman, nesting is importing the veg file of another project into the current one.
For example, the grade school graduation DVD I do each year is split into 5 sections.
I work on each section independent of each other and save them as separate veg files.
When it comes time to render the final project, I start a new project, import the 5 different veg files, drop them on the timeline and render as desired.

[Norman Willis]

Oh, so you add the .veg file.

You import it, yes.
Be advised that 2 new filesare created (similar to the .sfk audio proxy files), one with a .sfap0 extension and one with a .sfap0.sfk extension, when you do this the first time.

I forgot to mention that a .sfap0 file is considerably larger than a .sfk file 🙁
