I'm creating this 30-minute short film for class and I was thinking of a couple different ways to craft it together. I've already filmed it all so right now I'm in the post-production/editing stage. There are two ways I'm thinking I should be doing this:
1) Put together the individual scenes in individual Vegas files with only video and dialogue tracks, render the individual scenes, and then after that load all the AVIs into one single AVI, and then put in music and sound FX tracks, and after that render the whole thing as a single MPEG ready for DVD burning. I'm thinking that's the easiest to manage the clips as well as the most practical. Or--
2) Put all of my clips into one large Vegas file and work with five tracks: Primary video, secondary video (in case I had to cookie-cut the primary video), dialogue, soundFX, and music. I imagine this is the more difficult way just because if I have to change something very early on in the movie I have to change around the entire rest of the clips.
Just wondering if people think I'm on the right track with this. I believe the 1st scenario is the best. What do you think?
