Add events to project media as they are rendered?

Anyone know of a way to automatically add video events to the project media pool as they are rendered from the timeline?

Presently I'm having to refresh the explorer window, locate the events, and bring them in from there.

thanks

Ugh. I would hate that so much that i'd probably give up using Vegas in frustration. But, that aside . . .

You could keep a Windows explorer window open to that directory and then drag the file from there into the project media window. It's not automatic, but it would save you a ton of time over doing it within Vegas.

. .and the bizarre thing is that when I create a "still" - additional media that did NOT exist before, THAT is automatically added to the Project Media Window - think about that then! And it is NOT added to the timeline. A rendered timeline selection is newly created media? Why not add that to the Project Media? Also, applying non-realtime Audio FX will add this new WAV take within the Project Media.

So here are 2 instances of where NEW media IS being produced and added to the Project Media window. I think it is completely logical for a User, making Renders, to want, wish and desire for the same to happen to newly rendered Video. Yeah, Nick, I can see that and can see that as being both logical and possibly advantages. Now, how and where would you find this a boon to your workflow?

I would only accept this feature if it could be turned off. In fact, i'd even prefer the two examples that Grazie gives to be turned off too. Heck, i wanna just get rid of the project media pool completely! ;) But then, i've ranted that before.

Actually I would just like one more check box at the bottom of the "Render As" window that says "Add to Project Media". Simple.

OK, I've edited a project out of "raw" footage. Now I'm "archiving" the bits left on the timeline by smart rendering them to my archive drive under species name etc.. Then I want to bring them back in to the project in the same places but on a lower track and dump the huge "raw" footage files. So effectively I'm recreating the project with trimmed media that I want to keep permanently rather than messy large raw media.

How about "save project with trimmed media" and "render to a new track"? Either of these options will accomplish both trimming the media and placing it back in your existing project.
