  • Why so many clips when capturing video?

    Hi,

    Why are there so many clips when I am capturing with Vegas.

    Is there a way to join these clips ie join .m2t clips into 1 clip?
    When I capture – can I get Vegas to capture 1 whole clip from the tape instead of heaps of little ones.

    kind regards,
    Mil.

    If scene detection is turned on, you’ll get a new clip every time you stop/start the camera. With scene detection turned off, you should get one long clip.

    I guess there is not way to join previously segmented clips – is there?

    Kind regards,

    quick question: why do you want to? you can add them all to the timeline in one drag of the mouse, so what’s the problem?

    am quite curious………

    Hi Adam,

    I do have a logical answer (I think).

    I will be setting up Vegas with the trimmer window to give me a ‘source’ and ‘destination’ setup like traditional editing paradigms.

    I simply want one (or fewer) source clips. Its a question of management. I’d rather have one entire tape as a source, rather than many little ones based on each time I started and stopped the camera.

    If my thinking is not right, and there s a better way – would love to hear it.

    Cheers.
