Best way to group clips?

NuOmegaAlpha wrote on 3/31/2004, 6:51 AM
I am making a film short that is pretty heavy on individual small clips pieced together. As you can imagine, after a while of editing there are so many clips to manage and I'd need a way to group certain ones together so that when I need to move a large segment I don't have to move every... individual... clip. Maybe I'm not looking hard enough but I'm yet to discover how to "group" things together. If there is then let me know because right now I'm thinking about rendering some segments together (still in the uncompressed AVI format) and then managing thoes larger pieces from there. You think that's my best bet?

Select the clips you want to group and press the "G" key

I'm guessing you already know about Ripple Mode and that you can multi-select for cut and paste.
A lot of other folk have suggested creating multiple "sub projects" in other open instances of Vegas. Then, once each segment is done to your satisfaction, cut and pasting them together into one master projetc.

I do that. I've found it more "neat and tidy" to do parts in different veg's, render then out to DV AVI, the load them into a master project.

Same here.

Much more manageable.

rendering the shorts into AVIs is the most efficient way to do it. That's all I do with kiosk programming: group the comercials into blocks, render each block as an AVI then just split the program and using "ripple" alternate the blocks 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4
