Ok, been using Vegas for years 5, 7 now Pro 8, but grouping continues to frustrate me.
I was given pictures to scan and make a slideshow with, 6 pm the day before a wedding rehearsal and got it done around midnight. It was ok, but not perfect.
I've now started on the full wedding video and have copied and pasted the picture presentation of the couple growing up, and need to fine tune it, making various changes.
Here's my frustration. To group and copy the slideshow I did a "select to end" on the pics, then held the ctrl key and individually added three songs, a wav file and two media events, grouped them, then moved to the wedding production.
I needed to move one song a few seconds earlier so I clicked on it, hit U to ungroup, moved the song along the time line. However then when I click on the remainder of the events which should be still grouped, there are some of the other events which are not grouped. If I ctrl select them, the song and hit G to group, if I click off the events and then click on any of them to select the entire group again they aren't all a single group.
The only way I seem to be able to fix this is to laboriously ungroup everything individually, then start over as I initially did? What the heck am I doing wrong?
