Option to reload/replace footage
The best way I can think of to ask this question is to compare to After Effects in the way the interface allows one to `reload’ or `replace’ a piece of footage after having done external editing to it, and AE picks up the changes while maintaining any effects or other attributes already applied to the earlier instance of the footage.
So one could load a piece of video into AE, add effects, resize etc.
Then alter that footage on disk with another editor like say Vegas. Maybe you’d run it thru vegas to add some special lighting corrections, then render it back out to AVI.
In AE you could then say `replace footage’, locate and load the new version, and AE would keep any effects or such already applied but load the new footage in place of the earlier version.
Does Vegas have some similar ability? And if yes, then what is the procedure?

Yes, of course, I saw that, but near as I could tell (The first time I tried it) The footage on the timeline didn’t change so I thought it didn’t work the same as After effects.
On that particular occasion the piece of note was in a sort of complicated little group of bits and pieces, I didn’t expand the timeline as much as I should have and must have blundered around in there myself somehow and ruined the test.
I see now after doing it a few more times in more controlled conditions that it works just like I described and is a very nice way to do certain kinds of tasks, where once the setup details are in place you can just rotate a number of files thru by the `Replace’ mechanism.
Thanks again for making me take a second look at that function.
