Sorry Tho, I must have been half asleep when I wrote this message. Ignore the reference to Vegas 8.1 64 bit as it should have read Vegas 9.0c 64 bit, as you so rightly pointed out.

I have been reluctant to purchase Windows 7 64 bit (Not Windows 7 per se) because the computer shop where I usually get my stuff was a little reluctant as well to recommend it, something to do with compatibility.

Anyway, thanks for the reply, I’m off to talk to the shop tomorrow and purchase the 64 bit model.

Hi Eric,

Well I’m pleased that you found the thread useful. I transfered from Adobe Premiere Elements 4 and I’m starting to enjoy Vegas Pro and DVD Architect, still learning though.

Hi Kent. Thanks for joining in, your advice was extremely helpful.

The only query I have is the ‘Ctrl M’ command. In version 9 – the version of Vegas I’m using – when I press ‘Ctrl M’ a dialog box, named ‘Render To New Track’, pops up which doesn’t seem to have much to do with Ripple Editing I’m afraid.

In any case I appreciate the reply and advice, but It leaves me wondering why Sony makes it so difficult and so hard to find an answer?

Thank Jeremy you now understand my question. I don’t want to prolong this discussion ad-infinitum as I’m sure you have other things to do. So let me close by asking one very small question, clarify the meaning of “select the proper variant”.

I appreciate your sticking with me and this encourages me to participate more in the forum.

Thanks

Brian

Right, let me clarify the term “fill the timeline” not the best phrase I could have chosen! I want the chosen event to move to the new chosen position on the time line when I release the left mouse button. When I release the mouse button the event is place at the chosen point on the timeline and all the events to the right move up to allow the insertion of the event.

In fact when I click on an event Vegas thinks I want to create a “crossfade” transition.

Once again (for my own clarity):

I want to move say the 5th event to the end of the 3rd event so there is continuity in the video and no gaps or overlays are left.

I’ll stop now before I make thing worse!

Thanks Jeremy for the quick reply.

But! With Ripple edit on all the clips on the right of the clip I want to move, move as well! If, on the other hand, if I click Ripple Editing off, the clip I want only moves, but it dose not fill the timeline and move the clips to the right to make room. The moved clip just sits on top on the timeline obscuring the clip underneath it. Am I doing something (I must be) wrong?
