can I import / paste a project into another one?

Hello ,

As I did not want to clog up my timeline on my current project, I edited the 20-40 min files in one project each. As I'm nearing the finish line, I've been wondering if I should render them each at a time , then open the rendered files all grouped in a new project to make the DVD, or import all of the edit projects in a row and have one big project to be rendered.
In apps like Soundforge or Cubase you can copy/paste material from an open but non active project into an other one, ( like having several project windows open but just one active at a time) but this does not seem to be possible in V10? or am i missing something?
Thanks!

What you want to do ( I think) is called nested projects. You can look it up in the manual (or under help - topics) and get lots of info. Try this; open up a new project-timeline and drag the finished mini projects from the explorer tab, to the timeline, one at a time, giving them time to pre-render, and you will have your project.

nested is the easiest. pasting is another way.

but I would be great if Vegas let you bring (paste and/or import-export) markers between projects
