Importing one vegas timeline into another?
For example- I edited together Scene 25 in one .veg timeline called "Scene 25" and an additional .veg timeline called "Scene 26". I would like to import one into the other. I know it can be done in Premiere can I combine two .veg files into one in Vegas 4.0?

No Import function, but Copy>Paste yes. Have to 2 instances of V4 open - "Scene25" and "Scene26" - which way do you want to go? If ...25 to ...26, Select All in ...25 Go Copy switch to ...26, postion where you want the stuff from . . 25 is to go and Go Paste. That's it.

Try out a small section first, just to reassure yourself that is what you want.

In addition to what Grazie said, if you are really only doing "Scene 25" and "Scene 26" you can try to frame serve "Scene 26" and than import that single frame served avi into "Scene 25". You would still need to have 2 instances of VV open and obviously if you closed VV, or stoped serving, the frame served file wouldn't be there anymore at a later date.

For me I am just going to Render out each scene and than bring the rendered scenes into a new timeline. I am dealing with a feature at the moment and the nature of editing is you are always making changes right up the the last second so for me it is not practicle to cut and past or frame serve.

Thanks Filmy on the Frameserve info. I remember asking a question regarding f/s "back" to another V4 instance. You have cleared this up for me.

I'm starting to appreciate the value of having 2 instances of V4 working. I use the 2nd one as a type of "testbench". I've previously used testbenching within the Veg project I'm working on. Having this option has provided a bit more of an organised workflow.

Grazie
