Activity Forums VEGAS Pro NESTING (with audio)

  • NESTING (with audio)

    I am working on a finishing up a project that includes two other Vegas projects nested in its timeline. Both projects have music and ‘nat’ sound; however, when I bring the nested projects in on the timeline, all I get is the nat sound.

    How can I pull in ALL the sound from the nested project, even if it’s all edited together on one stereo track?

    The music is edited in the other projects, and I don’t want to mess with it. I was thinking about exporting the projects’ music as a separate audio file then pulling it back into the finished project, but I suppose there has to be another way to nest it in. . .

    Is the nested project a stereo project? Nesting doesn’t support 5.1 Surround. I use nesting a lot and have never had only some of my tracks come through. What is different about the nat sound tracks? Are they using a different bus? Maybe all the buses aren’t connected to the master bus? Something about those other tracks are causing them to not get rendered.

    Yes, your only other option is to render a WAV file from the nested project and use it in your main project but you should try and figure out why the problem is happening first.

    Hi John,

    I left the properties of the original projects mostly at their default settings, and have previously (and since) been able to render full versions of the videos as AVIs and mpeg2s with all the audio intact.
    To try and resolve this issue–or at least experiment around and see what was going on–I tried changing the project from stereo to surround, while also increasing the number of busses. I have to be frank and I’m not exactly sure what the deal with busses is/are–posting here is one of the ways I was hoping to learn a little more about how to deal with things, since I’ve already rendered out a .WAV of the audio for the new project–only that I know for sure that the audio is all controlled by the master volume, and comes with the rendered project, etc.

    I also tried changing the order of the audio tracks, just in case that had anything to do with it. (The audio–even the ‘nats’–are on a few separate tracks. It is all included except for the music.) No change, however.

    . . .meh?

    I just think it’s a bug, despite the fact that others including Sony could not reproduce it. This always worked fine for me in VP8, but not in VP10.
