Blending two veg files, dual camera HELP

mark003 wrote on 8/4/2009, 8:19 PM
I have two projects both in .veg format that I'd like to import together. I'd prefer not to render one and then just add the footage to the other project because I need to retain the breaks between each clip as they are. Is there a way to do this?

Maybe I'm making this too complicated. It's a two camera shot of two different things. The client wanted them separate videos but now has decided that he wants them weaved together into one video. What's a good two camera method of editing?

Thanks

Open a new project, drag both .veg projects ont the timeline. Edit. You can even do multi-cam if you want.

I think that step renders the clips together into one large clip. I'm trying to avoid splitting all the clips again.

Would this work?

Open new project. Open old project A, select all, copy and paste into new project. Open old project B, repeat. The trick would be that you need to create enough empty video and audio tracks in the new project to hold everything from both of the old projects. Track layout should also match.


Having done all of the above and assume it worked it'd still be a nightmare to edit. One trick I use from time to time is to stuff everything was, way down the end of the T/L and then drag the bits I want into place at the start of the T/L. Crude and a bit painful but it works.

No, it doesn't. They'll appear as one single event, but that event still contains all the separate edits you've already done. I'm not sure why you'd have to split them again anyway.
