In Spot's great book on Vegas 5, he mentions setting up a "template" project where you can put empty events in the timeline, add your graphics, fx, etc. Then, when you have your video ready to go, you can just drag video into the empty events on the timeline as a take, and, bam! you're done! Everything is already set up for you.

I'm trying to do that, but I can't get the video AND the audio to drop in at the same time. I set up an empty event on a video track, and immediately below it, an empty audio event of the same size. I right-click and drag an .avi file (video and audio) to the empty video event, and choose "Add as take", and I get the video part, but not the audio. I can repeat the process and drop onto the empty audio event and get the audio.

In playing with the take stuff, even without empty events, I see that adding as a take never adds both the video AND audio at the same time. I swear it used to - and the funny thing is, the context menu gives you the option of adding the video only, or the audio only, implying that the normal course of events is to add both at once.

Has that take stuff changed in Vegas 5.0b? No matter what I try, I can't get it to add both the audio and video at once - I have to do it as two separate pieces.
