In and Out points

With Discreet Edit and FCP I like to play a clip in their version of the trimmer and tap the i and o keys to mark in and outs.

Vegas manual says that functionality is there: i and o, then a to add to timeline... but I never got it to work and use the mouse to make my selections. I have got the a key to work thought. What's up with the i and o keys is that a setting I need to turn on?

BTW my serach on the forum has turned up tonnes of replies but this one was the funniest:

This will NOT work if you have Collapse loop region when no time selection is preset checked in Options > Preferences > Editing. Make sure this is uncheck so that the loop region doesn’t collapse on you. Otherwise I and O do nothing.

Amazing. Thanks for that answer!!!!

Normally I get frustrated with that auto region select feature and I disabled that over a year ago. Since then I've come to the Vegas style of editing and will probably keep that feature enabled, for this and other reasons.
