Ok so Im getting some gigs..I just did a free deal to get my foot in the door with a national co. I work for. We did some philanthropic volunteering for Habitat for Humanity in the inner City of KC... About a dozen people from our company went out and worked to build homes for low income folks in the inner city I filmed it all and am putting together a 15 - 20 minute DVD of the event : )
1. I have made an intro with sliding text etc.. with the names of starring roles etc.. It is cookie cutter.. So I can use it on all my projects..(open Veg file change names in text applicate for this film.. change it for next)..

So i started editing and thought I would put into my edited video later my initial credits etc... but im unable too.. if i try to place VEG file onto timeline it wants to do away with all the work I have started.. So ok I went and rendered in other Vegas window to AVI and then placed it into timeline.. wow what a headache.. Im thinking.. How the hell do I get around this? Ok so I think the solution is I always start with my <intro veg file>.. then start editing on the same timeline for future projects... ?? Is this correct or am I doing something wrong?? Is their an easier way.. Or am I thinking backwards as usal?? Anyone help??

Also I can assure you there are bugaroonis or what I percieve as bugs trying to view to monitor with 2 Vegas windows 2 projects.. my intro and my project.. It screwed it up good.. Had to shut down projects and computer to get it to work right again.. Audio isnt transfering to monitor as it was before and at times it wasnt working at all either in the preview window or the monitor out.. Hope this isnt hard to understand... May sound like im rambling.. Im tired man.. frustrating learning curve..

If you want one Veg into another, oyu must open each in it's own copy of Vegas. then select all the events in one and paste into the other. Unfortunitly, this is the only way to do it.

You can also frameserve the second veg to the first. That way you can modify your vegs without rendering.

Go to www.debugmode.com and get the frameserver plugin for Vegas.

Install it and you can frameserve from vegas to whatever video application, included vegas, of course..

Open two instances of vegas. On the first make your intro for example.On the second make the second video project.

Frame serve the second video project to the intro.... The process is simple... on the second project render to frameserve plugi¡n in avi format. Put the frameserved video on the first project and you can tred the video as a normal clip, you can slow, resize. PIP... all you want because it's a clip.

If you need to modify something on the second video, stop frameserving and modify... restart frameserving and it's all.

Hope this helps.

P.D. Sorry for my bad english.
