combining Projects panic

williemina wrote on 3/1/2003, 11:27 AM

I have been doing my rough edit of my short film for the past month. For the sake of organization and my sanity, I did each scene in a different project. Now I want to run them all together but I can't find a way to do it, and it seems as if I'm going to have to re-edit everything from scratch in one project. Is this true?

Is it possible to get all of the scenes finely edited and mixed separately, render them out separately, and then re-render the entire thing together as one?

Thanks for any ideas.

Hi,

You can easily mix and render each segment to DV avi, then combine them in a master project and final mix/render the whole program.

The Vegas DV codec will keep the whole thing looking pristeen.

Hi,
Could you please tell me how to:

"mix and render each segment to DV avi, then combine them in a master project and final mix/render the whole program."

I know how to render, but not the combine them in a master project, etc.

I'm the teacher who's doing the animated stop action film with elementary kids. I had organized each group into a Vegas project of their own so that the kids wouldn't accidently destroy each other's work. So I'd like to keep each group separate and then combine each groups' scenes in the end to make the whole movie. I'm also trying to keep their still picture files separate to avoid mishaps.

Or could you suggest an easier way to organize the groups????? Please remember that I don't really know a lot about Vegas or video editing when you start to explain things!!

And thanks again for the help.
Debbie

Debbie, start a new Vegas project, then drag each of the previously rendered .avi files onto the timeline in whatever order you wish. It's that simple.

Thanks. I'll try it this afternoon.
