Okay, Ive tried again. This time, I isolated the clip, putting some space between it and the other clips while I deleted the audio and that did the trick. When I placed the other clips next to it again, there is still a gap where the audio previously was so that’s a success.

Okay, Ive just done it. It worked. At first, there was a gap in the audio section that I had just deleted (which is good.) However, a little later while playing back the footage on the timeline, the audio from the adjacent clips seemed to merge (or shift) and filled the gap which is what I don’t want. Just wondering how I could keep that gap in the audio (underneath the selected video clip) intact? I will fill the gap with new audio at a later date. In other words, after deleting the section of audio and creating an audio gap, I would prefer to leave the gap vacant for now.

Thankyou John. I have been using the ‘S’ key in my editing but with my version of Movie Studio at least, pressing ‘S’ will split a video clip into two seperate clips. Though I guess that’s what you’re describing. Each of the individual clips on my timeline are already defined so perhaps it’s not necessary to use ‘S’ at this stage. The basic trimming has already been done. Maybe I’ll just use the ‘U’ key and then the ‘G’ key and see how that turns out.

Ah interesting. How would I turn off this feature? Would it be located in a drop-down menu perhaps?

Thankyou for your reply. Yes, the final output will be a DVD, but not at 24P. What I plan to do, before creating the DVD, is creating an AVI file and saving that to the hard drive. The AVI will later be burned to DVD.
I assume that Standard Definition AVIs would generally be interlaced. So after editing the interlaced and progressive segments together on the same timeline, when it comes to making the AVI, would Vegas automatically convert the progressive segments to interlaced and at the same time leave the native interlaced segments just as they are?
Or would it be advisable to convert the progressive segments to interlaced before importing them into Sony Vegas?

Woops….there’s something else I forgot. The footage for this film will be from two different cameras. One will likely be interlaced and the other will likely be progressive. Both will be SD. Naturally, the final output would have to be one or the other – interlaced or progressive. Since the film will be played on relatively modern computer screens and LCD and / or plasma TV screens, I guess the output should ideally be progressive.
So before mixing and editing footage from the two different cameras, I assume the interlaced footage would have to be deinterlaced first? Would Vegas Movie Studio be capable of doing this?
