Hi Pete
I had already tried that Import icon without success.
However now that my video files have been converted to mpg format everything seems to be okay.
Up until now my current project has been replaced (instead of added to)
by vf avi and wmv. it must be something to do with my total lack of knowledge of video editing.
Still with this newly found ability to add mpgs I can start some serious practicing and learning.
Thanks to you Pete and all the contributors to the forum.

I’m sure this forum will be very useful to me in the future and maybe one day I might be able to contribute.

Hello Steve
thank you for your reply
When I go the project pull-down menu and select ‘import media’
the new video clip replaces the whole project I was working on so there is nothing in the project pane except the imported clip this happens whatever size clip I am importing from seconds to half and hour.I can’t add imported clip to the old timeline as this goes as soon as the new clip is imported.
and yet adding still images to the current project is no trouble.
Maybe it’s a file format problem.
I’ve tried avi and wmv so maybe mpeg will work.
I’m totally new at video editing and Sony Vegas is the first editor I’ve bought.
Thanks again
Roy F
