I should have stated that I know how to switch from low res intermediate files to high res source files.

What I don’t know is:
*** How can I work without subclips, yet still work with intermediate low res files? ***

(As many of my topics address, there are down-sides to working with subclips.)

Edward Troxel replied to this in the topic “No Reply to 8 questions in a row?”

Thanks for replying, Edward.

Regarding “Copied Subclips to New Project, BUT Names Lost”, I should have called it “Copied Subclips to *Another* Project, BUT Names Lost”, or clarified that I wanted to bring 60 projects’ subclips into one project. “New” is ambiguous – I meant not “a blank project” but “a project that is new for these subclips, one which they have not been in”.
So the “save as” method you suggested won’t help.

Do you know why Vegas loses the subclip names?

Do you think it’s conceivable that a script could be written which would
(a) enable copying subclips with their names to another project,
or
(b) enable copying a batch of subclips’ names and then, after the user manually switches to the ‘new’ project, ‘pasting’ those names onto corresponding/selected/the-same-#-of subclips.
I can do the first part of (b):
I run the script ‘Export Regions as Subtitles’, then in the view ‘Edit Details’ -> ‘Commands’, I click the top left corner to select all, then copy and paste into a spreadsheet.

I’ll paste this and any replies into the ‘Copied Subclips to New Project’ topic.

This may be partially answered in the replies to a question asked one hour after my question about ‘Low System Memory’ (https://forums.creativecow.net/thread/24/888666).

[Jill Simpson]

Thanks Joe.
P.S. I see your replies to someone else’s ‘Low Memory Question’ coincidentally partially answers my “Project ‘full’? Can’t add to Project Media” question, asked on the same day. Thanks for that too.

Also,
Ctrl-Right/Left Arrow – next marker/region
Ctrl-Alt-Right/Left Arrow – next edit point

Want to jump to an in/out point? (when selecting video – sorry there must be a better way to say that)
Q, then Ctrl-Right/Left Arrow.

GO TO: Ctrl-G
when the timeline is active (the cursor is on the timeline)
(see the bottom right corner of the timeline)

[Jill Simpson]

Excellent! Sony Vegas makes me jump for joy!

I found pressing L twice makes it go faster, and LLL and LLLL faster still. I can hear the words up to LLL.
JJ, JJJ, JJJJ go backwards faster than ‘real time’.

Page Up /Page Down is like the right/left arrow keys except it SKIPS THROUGH at around 1/4 of the visible timeline (the time-span covered depends on how zoomed-in to the timeline you are).

And I use up-arrow down-arrow to zoom in/out.

Will you be my hero?

(If there has been no response to a reasonable topic, is there a way to ‘bump’ it so it comes to readers’ attention again? I suppose I could create a new topic, but duplicate topics make a forum messy. Hmm – can I delete my original topic? I tried via editing my account settings, but the answer appears to be No.)

Re: “the subclip [made region] name is lost” via Batch Render (regions),

Edward Troxel (of JETDV.com) created a script for this purpose (there is a version for Vegas 7 and for Vegas 8, along with some preceding info), which is in this thread:
https://forums.creativecow.net/thread/24/876718#876721

That leaves this challenge:

**Can I instantly make all [segments] on a timeline Regions?**
(with region names derived from subclip names)

[Jill Simpson]

I found: The Batch Render script (comes with Vegas 8, perhaps earlier versions too), lets you choose to render regions. I thought it was just to render the entire project to multiple formats. (It also lets you batch render a selection.)

So: I can add all my subclips to the timeline, then IF I CAN MAKE ALL [subclips-on-the-timeline] “REGIONS”, I can use the Batch Render script.
(**Can I instantly make all [segments] on a timeline Regions?**)

BUT the subclip name is lost. The output file is just myfilename_-_render_format_name_-_1.avi or similar.
