quickie question

I’ve never used FCP so I don’t know what “insert a clip” you are referring to but watch this video tutorial that Sony just put out which shows the new trimmer functions and how you can insert a clip in the middle of an existing event. I think this might be what you are referring to:

Like a cheating wife…..lol
Unfortunately i don’t know the procedure by which you
insert a clip in FCP…but describe the process and
then we can advise if a similar process is possible in Vegas.

Thank you so much, hadn’t a clue this tutorial was here. It is exactly what I wanted to know –

John R sent me a tutorial that answered the question. What I wanted to know, how to insert a clip between two clips without that clip over lapping? If that not clear, when I drop a clip to the timeline I want a space to open up and allow a clip to drop in?
I still not sure if I am explaining it well enough. But the tutorial is very good. I use the trimmer already to preview clips. I think all is answered. Thank you for responding and poking around to help. I love this forum. It’s the best one around

Great! I thought that might be what you were talking about and it’s a new feature in Vegas Pro 8.0c which is not in Vegas Pro 8.0b or Vegas Pro 8.1 so not many people know about it yet.

Although not nearly as well done…this video also shows the same solution.;-)

I had to download the update. I was still on 8.b Thanks for pointing me in the right direction

One more question my show video frames button is greyed out. I can’t click on it. So is the external monitor button. I assumed that was because I do not have an external monitor hooked up.

But I would have thought I could click on the show video frames button to show frames in the wave form timeline. Is there something I need to do to set that up?

You can first go into preferences and select the
preview device tab and select the IEEE device.
Then back in the trimmer window you first click on
the show video monitor button first.

It worked, that’s awesome. I’m impressed if your on the east coast do you take on intern’s?

According to the tutorial, when you insert a clip it will replace a portion on the timeline. Can it insert time first? In other words, can it insert without replacing?
The tutorial showed 3 variations, but never addressed this.
Thanks.
