sony vegas pro 8 workflow
Hi,
I am new to vegas as i try and adapt from another editing application. (dps velocity). I am trying to adpot workflow practices i like in velocity to vegas. In particular i like to capture a whole tape create subclips in the trimmer, add them to a source bin, view them as thumbnails or icons and add and trim on the timeline as needed. I have found with Vegas when i make a subclip, i can,t add to the in and outs points on the timeline and no options to add handles etc when making subclips. I have explored these options: Allow for this when creating subclips, (is cumbersome because most of the subclips don’t need fine tuning when in and out points have been selected correctly) Use “load parent media into trimmer” (is cumbersome because i like the idea as with velocity, is most efficient to edit on timeline and avoid extra clicks using source trimmer). Use regions and region view in explorer, this seemed promising but can’t get the clips in region view to display as thumbnails (is thumbnail or icon view possible in region view?)
Also, my video output preview is via my firewire card through my DVCAM source deck and svideo into my broadcast CRT monitor. When i park the cursor i get bad flicking, which i assume is an interlace field / frame issue, is it possible to get a still, non flickering image when the cursor is parked on interlaced media with this setup or does it require a different dedicated output video card?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

This is the nature of subclips. They behave like real media so their in and out points mimic the real ends. The advantage is that you can drag the end and make it loop (which you can’t do just by trimming) but as you have seen, there are no handles to trim further. There is no way around this.
As for the flicker, you are correct this is an interlace problem. Since the device you are previewing on is interlaced, there is no way around this. Even if you told Vegas to deinterlace the output the TV would still interlace it again because this is the only way it can display it.
