Splitting in Sony Vegas 8
I an a newby to Vegas and note it doesn’t work the way I expect, To be honest I have no idea how to split an video on the timeline (to eg. chop out a bit. I am used to a right click and “split” twice, then remove the piece in between. Sony Vegas doesn’t do this. SO what do I do to edit on the timeline? Probably something glaringly obvious… once you know! 🙂

Place the cursor where you want to ‘split’ the clip. Press “S” Done!

Place the cursor on the event where you want the split and hit the S Key. This will split the event. If you have the “Ignore Event group” button active your audio will be split and not the video, if it is not active both audio and video wil be split. You can place your cursor at the edge of any event and click and drag the event to trim it. Once again the event grouping button will come into play.

You can also drag a region above, hit the s and it will cut the region, delete that but this is only usually useful when you want to recut where two clips join and the exact frame position isn’t so important.

Why this statement? You can get exact frames when creating a region very easily.
