I'm sure this will be simple once someone explains it, but it has eluded me so far.
When I bring a captured clip ( avi or m2t ) to the work space, I can't figure out how to unlock the audio from the video - i.e. just delete it altogether or split it and delete a portion ..
To delete it just highlight it and delete it whether split sections or the whole track. If you want to move it around separately you have to "ungroup" it from the video. "Ignore Event Grouping"
Looks like there is a real gold mine of information there for rookies like me ..
I hadn't paid much attention to that area before, because I wrongly assumed they couldn't be giving away anything useful for free ..
So, looks like I will be busy for a while, doing what I should have done in the first place..
.... and I won't be needing you guys any more! ( just kidding )
I mostly lurk, and pick up lots of good tips from the regulars here..
I need to clarify my answer above. I just switched from Vegas 4 to Vegas Pro 8 and it behaves differently. In Vegas 4 if you highlighted only the audio in an event and pressed delete only the audio was deleted. In Vegas Pro 8 both the video and audio are deleted even if you only highlight the audio.
You can correct this by going into Options / Preferences / Editing.
Uncheck "Cut, copy, and delete grouped events".
Then it will behave like Vegas 4 and you can just highlight and delete the audio events without having to ungroup it first.
