rearranging video clips in Sony Vegas Pro
The most basic question I know but can someone please tell me how to rearrange video clips? I had all my 8mm film transfered to a hard drive and unfortunately they are all out of sequence so I need to rearrange them before I do any edits ect. What would be the easiest way to do that?
Thank You In Advance!

Are they all in one video or seperate and not in the order they were recorded?

Each video represents different subjects that I need to split up and rearrange so they are in sequence…it looks like if I use the split frame function that will work unless anyone has a better way….I want to get them all in sequence before I edit..adjust color ect and lastly add a music track.
Let me repeat these are copies of 8 and super 8 movie film that I had transferred to hardrives so I can edit down to make a decent movie. After this, I have aprox 350 hrs of video tape that I also had transferred to hard drives so hopefully by then I will have this program figured out.

All you have to do is place your converted footage on the time line and view it (lol). As you view it have a quick finger on the s key (Split. This is where you make cuts. Make a cut at the beginning of a ‘toss-away’ section and one at the end of that section. Then highlighht that section and delete. You have not destroyed your original if you find you made a mistake you can just click grab the end of a section and stretch it out and recover what you deleted. If you have ‘auto-ripple’ enableed the spaces will even close up for you. You can then grab each section and mover them where you woul,d like.

Ok Will Do…now another question…What is DVD Architect Pro 4.5 that I got with Sony Vegas Pro…is it instead of or in conjunction with…which is better or what….Yikes what did I get myself into

Vegas, as you know, is a Video editing program (NLE). DVDA is a DVD authoring program. That is where you take your movie that you edited in Vegas and author it into a DVD with (or without ) menus etc. It is also a DVD burning program though a lot of people seem to like to go to another program to burn for some reason. I have never (yet) had any problem with burning DVDs in DVDA. I even placed a BluRay video on a standard DVD disc. BR discs are outrageously expensive.

Thank You! I appreciate everyones help…Here is another question…I am using the Split function to rearrange my clips and everytime I split, it leaves one frame behind …doesnt capture all frames I want..how to I correct this?

Don’t know that I quite understand what you are saying but if I do then just move your split over one frame! You can split frame accurate by zooming in on the time line. You can move the curser a frame at a time by using the arrow keys..
