Vegas has an interesting way of dealing with splits. I believe I've found the formula it uses, but I'm hoping it can be changed somehow, because it makes no sense to me.

I have 4 tracks grouped together. There are multiple clips per track. I need to keep them all synched up. The grouping ensures that if I move one, they all stick together.

I edit from beginning to end like most people, but here's where things stop making sense. If I place my cursor and hit S to split, I would expect to have two new groups. One to the left of the cursor containing all 4 tracks, and one to the right of the cursor containing all 4 tracks. That way everything stays synched up.

Instead Vegas ostrisizes and regroups every clip following the split. This makes no sense. The stuff before the cursor ends up grouped with everything after the cursor EXCEPT for the clips that immediately follow the cursor, which get grouped into their own new group.

Is there any way to fix this? Why does Vegas choose one method over others to control isolating and regrouping of split events that were part of a group?

Please someone try this out and tell me if I'm crazy. Splitting groups just makes a big mess to clean up every single time.

Thanks...
