Differences between Veg 8 & 9 when deleting clips

Hi, I've been using Vegas for a few years, and initially I was flumoxed by this problem. With Vegas 8 if on the timeline you deleted a clip when the ignore event grouping button was on, both the audio and video portions would be erased. However, in Vegas 9 if you delete a clip with these settings the video part gets erased but the audio doesn't. It gets shuffled up to the left of the timeline and merged with those clips. Seems a bit strange to me. I can see logically the audio and video are different elements in a group, but I found it confusing.

That sounds like the problem I was (am) having editing a multi-cam shoot. I needed to cut out five continuous minutes and random bits (both video and audio) appeared in the timeline before the cut.

Still haven't figured out why.

Ignore Event will delete EITHER Video OR Audio. This has been the case since . . well ever . .

You getting the the shuffle along sounds like you have got the "Auto Ripple" engaged.

SO to recap:

1] Ignore Event Grouping works the same in 8 and 9

2] Sounds like you have "Auto Ripple" engaged.

Grazie

Well, in my case (the milti-cam shoot) I tried it with both Auto Ripple on and off with no difference. I finally had to render out the project then cut and re-render (but it was 99% smart render at that point)
