Multiple clips

Hi All,

I'm trying to take a video clip and edit out different parts of that clip into individual clips. Ex. main clip, I have 5 different parts of the main clip I would like to make into 5 separate clips.

I've read and tried several things but have not seen a way to achieve this.

If anyone can lead me in the right direction that would be great.

When you say 'seperate clips', do you mean outside of the Vegas program? If you are doing it in Vegas for a project, just hit the 'S' button to split the clip at the beginning and end. For outside of Vegas, split the clip, double click it to create a loop region, go to project or file menu, choose render as, pick the format you want, and then be sure to select 'render loop region only' option. Let us know if this helps. Cin

Thanks for the fast response OMG...

As for the "separate clips", For the time being I think I want to use them within Vegas.

What I'm trying to do is take video clips from my sons basketball games and edit out highlights from the clips and save them as individual clips into a folder so that I can go to that folder an drop those clips into the timeline so that I can make a 'Highlight Video'.

Each game I taped has about 10 clips, each of those clips may have 2 - 3 areas I want to create separate clips of. So from 1 game (10 clips) I would have 20 -30 individual 'highlight clips'.

So would using the "S" button work for what I'm trying to do?

Strictly speaking, S for splitting the clips isn't necessary. What i'd do is play through the original clip and drop markers where you want to cut in and out. Then go back and double-click between the first pair and render that to a new file, then between the next pair and repeat.

However, i wouldn't even do that. I'd just leave the markers there and save that project as "highlights". Then when i want to work on the highlights i'd open that project and the markers will still be there.

Chienworks,

I think I'm following you and what you said makes sense to me.

See if I'm following you correctly:

Each game has 10 clips, each clip would have 2 -3 places where I place markers. I have 20+ games to do. so if my math is right, I create a "Highlight" project that will have about 200 clips in it that I would have to go through and choose the high lights I would like to render?

If I'm following you right, is this the best way to achieve my goal? Or would it be better to just go through all the games an just choose the highlights from the games that are the best so that I don't have to deal with 200+ clips?

Thanks In advance
