    I am just doing postproduction of a project that I rendered to uncompressed avi. I am color grading every take so I have to cut the clip into takes. It is quite tiresome.

    Is there any plugin or a feature in Vegas that recognizes the takes in a longer clip consisting of a number of takes?

    Not if you didn’t stop the camera between takes. If you did and it’s still capturing as one lpng clip, go to your capture preferences and enable scene detection. This will make a new clip everytime you stopped the camear during capture.
    If this isn’t the case, you can put the curser where you want to split the long clip, and hit the s key, then each smaller clip will have an Effect icon where you can color grade each one seperatly. Danny Hays

    I know this Danny. What I am talking about is detecting takes in a material from a rendered project, not directly from a camera.

    I made a project that requires color grading, so I rendered it to uncompressed avi and put it on the timeline. Now I have to split the whole clip into particular takes to color grade. I wish there could be some scene detection algorithm that would deal with this automatically.

    Nope. Can you go back to the pre-rendered and make your color changes there?

    Go back to the original project and insert a marker at the start of each new clip/event.

    Then render out as before, but check the box that says “Save markers in media file”.

    The now rendered uncompressed file will have a marker where you need to split into separate events.

    Cheers for now,
