The “Replace” media in the project media window is what I use when I do the reuse/template trick like you are talking about. The question would be, are you reusing a clip multiple times on the timeline. If so, then the “replace” command isn’t what you are after, which sounds like what you want to do. Have you tried adding you new images/clips as a “take” instead? That might work for you. That would keep all your settings and fades the same.

Just to add one more log to the fire, I use A Sony GVD-200 video walkman. It’s lets me transfer 8mm tapes for clients, and then also has analog pass through. It has a TBC built in; however they run about $600 new right now.

Video Copilot has inspired me quite a bit with its After Effects work. I also like the the founder – Andrew Kramer talks about Vegas quite a bit in some of his products. So that you don’t have to be a all Adobe.

Third period…but close enough. 🙂 Those Zombies are just another distraction.

Sorry – I don’t know why it posted three times. I was trying to get my point across or anything. 🙂

Boris can do a lot of things, but from my stand point, Boris and After Effects are similar tools. One advantage that Boris has over After Effects is that you can do a number of things inside Vegas with it where After Effects is total solo.

You can use other add ins like Video Copilots “Action Essentials: 2.” I just used it on my short Zombie film in After Effects and also in Vegas. It has explosions and smoke and such. Not generated from Vegas, but applied in it. Sorry if that is not exactly what your question was asking or if I am repeating things.
Vegas really isn’t meant for FX by itself. That’s where I would say you need a compositing tool like Boris as mentioned by Stephen or After Effects.
I’m an After Effects user, but I have heard good things about Boris too. Have you tried download a demo from both and trying them out? I compose my timeline in Vegas. Then render or EDL the section out for use in After Effects. Do my work there, and then reinsert the new clip/section with the FX.
