Vegas 10: Multicamera & Events
The Multicamera feature does not preserve envelopes, effects or motion applied to the original camera tracks, as per page 139 in the Vegas 10 manual. Therefore, when editing video tracks on the timeline (before enabling multicam) effects such as fade in/out or cross-fades are lost. Where scenes were joined by a fade-out then fade-in, there is now a cut or jump.
Anyone know of a way to add effects back in on a multicam project?

Remember that you can use .veg files as events in other
.veg files. You can take a complicated camera track and
stick it in its own .veg file. You can then drop the .veg
file on a track in your main project and combine it into
a multicam track with your other camera angles.Note that if you plan on upgrading the Vegas 11, using
.veg files inside of other .veg files is slightly
broken with that version. Works great on Vegas 8 to
10 though. -
Thank you for your reply Justin.
I went back to my original project containing two highly edited video tracks (with effects) and saved each track separately. I then opened a new project and dropped in the two saved (.veg) tracks; then went through the Multicam editing routine. Works great and the two A/V tracks remained in sync. Takes a little longer, but what the hey.
I will not be upgrading to Vegas 11 (although I already own it) in the near future, due to incompatibility with my legacy XP operating system and four year old mother board that does not have drivers available for Win 7. Technology is moving faster than me.
Thanks again for the help,
Brad
