How to stop Vegas constantly asking 'Add across timeline'

Philuk wrote on 6/29/2023, 9:15 AM

Hi,

This is obviously a new feature, which I'm finding very annoying. So how do I stop Vegas from asking whenever I drop a clip on the timeline? It brings up a box with various options, one of which is 'Add across timeline', which is adding an extra unnessary keystroke to a feature that doesn't need it??

Also what's happened to right click grab and drop??

Thanks

Phil

Use the left mouse button?

These Right+Click menu options were added in Vegas Pro 14.

@Philuk
I never saw 'Add across timeline'
When dragged from the Project Media tab with the right mouse button I see: "Add across time"
Dragged with the left mouse button noyhing is being asked.

Roger, you're right, but I've worked it out. You need to click on the bottom part of the clip which show the clip name highlighted in white around the thumbnail image. Odd one, none the less.

Any thoughts on getting rid of 'Add across timeline' box?

j-v, I've just noticed it does it with left click-hold mouse key but not right?? Now I've worked out you need to right click hold on a specific area of the clip in Project media, I seemed to have answered my own question.

Many thanks.

It's a feature, not a bug.

The previous bug of not responding to left click on the video section was fixed in update 411, so now it is working as previous versions prior to V20.
