Thx John for your reply.
I cleaned the veg by hitting the lightning bolt to no avail so my workaround has been to refer to the dvd the client had with timecode window and trace back. In doing it that way I have ultimately saved myself a lot of time. grueling yes but satisfying nevertheless as the project is getting done.
Cheers

Ah right!….see, that’s why I’m in Vegas Basic’s – learning from the bottom up.

So what do you think of the idea of a dual boot Edward and do you have any advice on how best to set it up.
Thx

One Q…in this case i have 4 hours of footage…4 tapes.
How does that effect the speed of the machine- the amount of resources/ram I use by putting [lets say] one hour at a time on the timeline.
I wouldn’t expect to put all 4 hours there at once as 1 hour at a time is enough. But even so, how does that much footage effect the efficiency of the computer for basic cutting.

What do you mean by a temporary track?

But I get the drift so I’ll do it that way. Thx again

Ok Theo I’ll check them out.
Well your determination that it is “old fashioned” is the kiss of death relly:). You certainly put that one to bed!

To explain a little more, I have 4 1x tapes that I have digitized. I need to find a logical, clean and neat way of selecting shots or parts there of and putting them into folders [would that be Bins?]. Can you tell me how you organize your shots into segments pls.

Therefore, if it keeps things uncomplicated, would it be a good practice to start putting all video fx/plugins in the video VST folder. Vegas recognizes this folder.
