Sorry Grazie, I should have used "one" as opposed to "you" in a Queen's English stylee :)
And based on the fact that one can drag files from MM to various media players (something that I never thought of doing before), one's led to believe that one probably can indeed drag from MM to other NLE's timelines, which would be a very fine thing, should one, for whatever reason, wish to use an NLE other than Vegas, whilst retaining the work one has put into MM.
Nope, Nicko, it was a question that I wanted to hear from you, hence my invite.
I could've remained "wondering" and "wandering". I'll always ask a poster to ask a question rather than a "wonder". As a result your further detailed/explanation that the " . . to other NLE's timelines . . " related to another company's NLE altogether. And THAT was nowhere on my RADAR at all. Good point. Do you have those NLEs? Give it a go?
I don't have those NLEs, yet, but may well have one or the other in the future, depending how things go with over the next couple of years with Vegas.
I dropped files on VLC and WMP and GOM Player and they played, so it seems that dragging files out of MM is similar to dragging files out of Windows Explorer, which implies that they could be dropped on NLE timelines.
