If Vegas is like Video Factory, (which, I believe it is...) then look to the "player controls" part of your screne.

There, you will see 'buttons' like your VCR controls (stop, play, etc.) push the one to get you to the end of your movie.

The timeline will show a blinking line at the "end" of your current movie.

'Double Click' your event and it should be inserted at the end of your timeline!

That would work but I'd have to add markes at every point that I might want to snap an even to. Then if I trimmed that event I'd have to move the marker. I don't think it would save much time, unless I'm replacing clips a lot into the same place. I would have thought a simple qualifier key - say ALT or something would snap to event.

Pete. It's not just the end I want to add to. I have lots of edits and I move ones around, try different things etc as I go and these can be anywhere on the timeline.

Aaron,
I think that when you turn on snapping, events will snap to the end of the previous event when they get close. If after you trim you want them to close the gap, turn on ripple edit. That should cause the event after the trimmed event to snap to the end of the trimmed event. Hope this works.

Also when snapping is turned on, the cursor snaps to the edge of an event if you click there, and events snap to the cursor. So that's a quick way of lining up events on different tracks.

Or...

f8 toggles snap. It's also a button so you'll notice it toggling.

Alt+Shift+up or down arrow moves from track to track

Alt+Ctrl+arrow key moves the cursor from one event edge to the next. That gets the cursor where you might want it and then you can snap to the cursor.

Oh and Alt+0 focuses the track view.

Double click the space between the clips you will get region markers and then hit the delete key. Good Luck John.

As already mentioned you can enable disable event snapping easily by clicking at the "Enable Snapping" icon button.
From the Options menu you can also select whether you want to snap to grid, markers and regions. The Enable Snapping affects all of the above except quantizing to frames.
By clicking at the "Quantize To Frames" icon button the snapping behaviour is affected. When enabled, the position of events, markers, regions and cursor, is limited to the start of individual frames.
Normally it should be enabled while editing video tracks and in most cases while editing audio tracks too unless there is need to perform editing in a position other than the start of frames.

Ok thanks guys. Looks like it's a two step process which I think is silly. I will add this as a suggestion on the suggestions form. All the technical parts of editing should be real speedy and where 1 action will do, it should be done I believe. Thanks for the info though, this will certainly help to some degree.

Cheers

What do you mean a 2 step process? If snapping is on it just works. It's always been on for me... I never realized there was a way to turn it off until now.

If snapping is on and if you're putting a clip on the same track as what you're snapping to then it'll just work.

If you're putting the clip on a new track then you have to get something (like the insertion point) into position to snap to.

Clips will snap to the insertion point, to markers, to major time ticks, to snap offset marks, and to other events on the same track.

Where it makes sense it's one step.
