I have done this, but the track markers are never correct and the counter on the CD player counts additional unnecessary seconds at the end or beginning of each song.
Lets say I finish a musical comedy video production and I want to make a CD of it.
1. Edit timeline so that there are lets say 17 smaller video events each representing what I want each audio track to contain some with audio fades, etc. Video stays because it doesn't affect the final results.
2. Insert track markers at the beginning of each event and rename them according to the songs they represent.
3. At this point Vegas will place the end marker for the track wherever a split is located from the video project. If it is at the end it will place it at the end, but if there is another one on the middle it will think the song ends there and place the marker there. Since Vegas has never allowed you to "unsplit" an event you have to move the track marker.
4. It is now impossible to line up the end track marker with the end of the event. (Quantize to frames is off as stated in the manual).
5. Also, because you edited an existing project the space between the events is longer than 2 seconds by varying amounts of space, Vegas will not automatically space them when you set up an audio CD the way I just described, and you are not able to insert a two second space yourself because there are spaces already and Vegas will only add ONTO this space not replace it with a two second silent space. So now you try to drag them together because:
6. The Ripple edit functions are greyed out because they only work when you haven't chopped up the timeline. (All three versions) So you have to drag them together at which point it is impossible to re-line up the track markers with the beginning and end of the track.
Anyone have any suggestions as to how to do this so it works properly.
