Well, that doesn't work either. :( it ignores the marked tracks and dumps it all in one file.

OK,

Tools / Scripts / Render Audio Tracks seems like it would work, but that renders one big file too!

There has to be a simple way to do this???

Split your events using the S key.
You can copy, move, and trim events.
No need to render separate files within your project.

I know how to split events, that is not what I am searching for.

What do you mean "No need to render separate files within your project?" I DO need to end up with separate files.

I need an hour + of video rendered out to about 8 separate files. I can manually mark each section one at a time and output it, but I figured that if you used the built in "Audio Track Region" then there surely would be a way to export those regions.

For what purpose is that feature if you can't use it to generate separate audio files?

I even tried to burn CD and it sent one single file to the CD.

I can do this easily and simply in Audacity, surely this can be done in Vegas.

"Export audio to separate tracks automatically"

I meant you do not have to render separate files to have trimmed or duplicated events in different tracks or places on the timeline, which is what you said. Some people assume you have to render to new tracks to duplicate, move, or trim events, which is not the case.

But did you really mean batch rendering? It's one of the built in scripts that can render multiple regions to separate files in the format of your choice. Your use of the word "tracks" is immensely confusing if you are referring to something other than the Vegas timeline, which consists of audio and video tracks.
;?)

Best of luck.

1. Split your long event into segments (place locator, press S on keyboard).
2. Doubleclick on each segment to select, Insert Region (press R on Keyboard).
3. Menu|Tools|Scripting|Batch Render
- select desired Base name and location
- choose desired output format
- select "Render Regions" at bottom of window...
OK

Now you will have as many files as Regions. They will be named sequentially, so all you have to do is change the names later.

is that what you wanted?

Ha, Christo.
I never knew about the "R" refinement to the workflow, one that I've been using since I had hair.
Always did right-click->Insert Region instead . . .

Nice post!

Always did right-click->Insert Region instead . .

in VegasPro?

Strictly speaking, splitting isn't necessary. If the markers are already there then double-clicking between marker flags will select the section and R will create a region.

What i tend to do is press i at the beginning, find the first break point and press o to set the out point there. Press r to set the region. I then drag the first in point to the second out point, thereby selecting the second section. Press r to set that as a region. Continue dragging the current "in" to the next "out" and repeat ...

Christo,
Yes, seems I've always done it the long way . . .

Kelly,
Splitting is not necessary, but doing so facilitates the creation of regions, as well as duplicating or moving scenes and takes around on the timeline.

Sorry, I didn't think of there being two "Tracks". I guess I had a "Single Track" state of mind.

I only have one audio track that has sections marked. I want to export those sections automatically out into different mp3's (I was thinking CD Tracks)

Sorry for the confusion. :(

Thanks,

Kirk

OK, Marking as Regions worked well, using the "R"

For what purpose is using the "M" to mark a region? That left me with marked and named sections of the track, but wouldn't export.

It would have been nice if the export script would have used the names of the regions that I assigned for the file names.

Thanks,

Kirk

M doesn't mark a region, which is a range of time on the timeline. M sets a marker, which is a single instant. Markers are really handy to keep track of where certain things are in your project, like bookmarks.

If you've set markers first then it's easy to double-click between two markers to select that range. Once the range is selected pressing R will make that selection a region.

Yes, there's many ways to do this; my point was that creating Regions allows separate chunks to be exported.

Why Regions even ?

I'd just Split, make inter-track gaps if desired, 'N' to put in track markers where wanted, then burn DAO.

We're all making assumptions about what Kirk wants to do. So far, the only concrete thing he's told us is that he wants to separate the sections into individual audio files. We don't know why or what he wants to use them for. So in the absence of that, we should be telling him how to accomplish what he actually asked for.

My goal is to output to a CD that has the separate tracks for my grandmothers funeral so that I can burn some CD's and send to family.

I was able to accomplish that with everybodys' help.

Thanks,

Kirk

My goal is to output to a CD that has the separate tracks....

..... had you mentioned that at the outset I would have suggested an entirely different workflow - it's all in the Manual how to burn a CD from the Timeline.

Well, I needed MP3 also, because i am going to email to tech-savvy family. :)

is all good.

Thanks,

Kirk

Oh, I did find the export to cd feature, but it ignored my regions and dumped it all into one big long track. Must have messed something up.
