Replace generated media with your own file
There are many free veg files to be found on the net. Most appear to just create as many tracks as is necessary & fill them with generated media. You then replace the generated media with either a still or video of your own. I can easily get into project media the replacement files for the generated media.
I know that you can use a replace command from your project media file but I think it would be much easier if I could choose the replacement media from the timeline. Is this possible & if so how is this done?
Thanks in advance

If I’ve understood you well enough, here’s an idea.
1] Right Click on the Event on the Timeline you “prefer” and choose “Select in Project Media List“.
3] Vegas Navigates to the Media in PM
4] Select the NEW Media and RIGHT Click Drag to the OLD Event on the T/L you want to replace.
5] When you Release the button you have the Option to “Add as Take” – take it!
You will now have “replaced” the existing Event with the one you preferred. You also have the option to hit “T” and compare to OLD and then now the NEW – Take.
Pros – You Get Takes!
Cons – It wont bring any Event-based FX-ing with it. You’d need to Copy and Paste Attributes as an additional task.
When you get busy with the Trimmer, I use the same: Getting Takes from the Trimmer can be truly liberating. Because what you are doing is auditioning creative cuts/edits on the fly and preserving them as a Take to be recalled so you can compare.
Grazie

If it were a true ‘replace function’ it would be doing it from the timeline not from PM & it would as you say relace the attributes as well.
Thanks in advance
