Thanks Alexsey, it sounds pretty close to what I need.

In the case of the finished HD WMVs, from what you say I can use the new overlay title in a cropped opaque box to overlay the original burned-in overlay title?

Similarly, I should logically be able to overlay (full frame this time) the original opening and end titles in the same way?

And for all of them would I be able to specify a fade offset in each .veg file? And a music track intro on the leader and outro on the trailer?

Sorry so many questions, but this sounds like the it could be the best solution for me.

Thanks, that helps me focus my thinking on what I need to do.

On the clips where I have the source files, the following:

1. On opening titles:
Replace the existing title (simple Vegas Pro “Titles & Text” type) which each have different text with one standardised title

2. On overlay titles:
Replace each standardised title with a different standardised title

3. On end titles:
Ditto.

On the clips where I only have finished HD .WMV files

1. On opening titles:
Add a new standardised title (cropped) that will overlay the old copyright details

2. On overlay titles:
Ditto.

3. On end titles:
Ditto.

Like the omelette/egg analogy!

But sorry, I wasn’t clear enough. I still have the source files for most of these clips and the original .veg files. So I would have thought it would be possible somehow.

I’m a newbie to Vegas Pro (and editing generally) so am unsure how to proceed.
