Let’s see if I can do a better job of explaining things.
You do video #1 and save it as video-1.veg
Delete everything on your timeline and re-save it as video-2.veg
Do video #2 and save it as that name.
Delete everything on your timeline and re-save it as video-3.veg
Repeat as necessary.
Does this make sense?

[Mike Kujbida]

In my opinion, the easiest thing to do is to keep what you already have intact (with the exception of deleting the timeline each time you start a new project) and save it with a new name each time you start a new project.
i.e. MyVideo-1.veg, MyVideo-2.veg, MyVideo-2.veg, etc.

I don’t have a high end camera so I’ve only tried it with a few sample files just for the fun of it.
Try this tutorial from the Sony site (in the first post).

Sony has a RAW viewer on this page.
Read this post on the Sony Vegas forum for more useful information.

[Joshua Braham] “The work flow that i use is that ideally i would render an uncompressed file, then i use a program called zarx to convert the uncompressed avi to a compressed mp4,”

Users on the Sony Vegas forum have reported great results and small files using the
Sony Vegas Pro to HandBrake with just one mouse-click method.

For more help, this method is discussed a lot on the Sony Forum.

Dee, what’s your source footage? If it’s HD, there will be a drop in quality as SD is only 1/6 the size of HD (total pixels).
Bob’s suggestion about using a bitrate calculator is right on the money. I just discussed using this the other day.

You didn’t miss anything. The past few years have seen a new version released at a trade show in Europe in October so we’ll have to be patient a wee bit longer 🙂

My pleasure Markus and welcome to the “idiot” crowd 🙂
Most if not all of us on here learned this software by playing with it instead of reading the manual and have made lots of mistakes along the way.
I’ve been a Vegas user for over 10 years and am still discovering new things about it so don’t feel bad.
All that matters is that you added another useful trick to your arsenal of Vegas tools.
