[Aleksey Tarasov]

Open Project Media window, select a file, right click and choose Replace…
Is this what are you looking for?

is there another way? i was hoping to do it direct from the timeline instead of from the bin

[Aleksey Tarasov]

idk another way to “replace clips” (w/o scripts)
but perhaps you want the following: drag a new clip with the right mouse button and drop it on a source event and choose Add as Takes

No, the timeline contains “Events” that can hold multiple clips as Takes. The only place you deal with a single clip is in the Project Media.

thanks Aleksey, that’s much quicker 🙂

You could trick Vegas by closing the project, altering the file name of the original clip, then changing the file name of the new clip to what the old clip was originally called. Then when you reopen Vegas, it will automatically use that new file in place of the old one. However, this will affect all events on the timeline that use that piece of media.

very slow option Sam, Aleksey’s is the best way…

‘drag a new clip with the right mouse button and drop it on a source event and choose Add as Takes’

simple 🙂
