Compile a new project from am older one

I have 5+ hours of interviews on my Vegas timeline. There were 5 questions asked to the various interviewees. I need to put each of the answers to each question in its own project for render. I have been reading my references on trying to figure out how to do this, but am still a little confused. I need to bring back original project everytime to get the next set of questions and so on.

So far I will copy the question event to new Video and audio tracks, remove the original from the project and save as a new .veg file. To reload just reopen the original .veg file.

Is this the a correct way to go?

Thanks

There's no need to start so many new projects. You could open a second instance of Vegas and cut and paste as you need with the single new project reflecting the order you wish or you could break the 5 hours worth of interviews in events and stack them by interview one on top the other then work from that adding your sorted order to a new pair of tracks. Using the scrub control you can go very fast forward so you wouldn't have to suffer through listening over and over. Once you have the order you want you could render just the selected area which you set by dragging your cursor over the top of the timeline to select a region. You could then render 5 "interviews" where I guess you're trying to get it so each person interviewed answered the same question one right after the other so you can judge the responses.

I see nothing wrong with the procedure you are using.

Thanks you all I Thought about doing a rearrangement and then rendering an individual loop region but working with two veg files seems easier, however, I'll check with the enduser (my wife) and check again how she wants to give it to her boss.
