I suspect you want to learn the new geegaws introduced in later versions of Vegas, but you can always do nesting the old fashioned way.

1. Open another instance of Vegas.
2. Create the project to be nested and save.
3. Drag the project (nested project.veg) that you just saved to the timeline of your main project.

You can keep both projects open and work on them as needed. The changes will show when you save.

For the visual among us...

HI
@john_dennis

is there a video tutorial on "the old way"?

Thanks
Drew

@Drew-Morris One of my Youtube tutorials deals with the old way of nesting. Take a look.

HI
@Jack S

Thanks for the link.

very good,😎 i will ingest your videos!!

😀 I Say!!, like the way you explain,it was very informative and the way you set up you projects layout, very helpful in understanding whats going on. plus, i learned a few other things as well, excellent!

Thank you Jack S.

@Jack S

I also praise your tutorial, which also creates a lot of background knowledge!

I have a question:
You surely have a reason why you shorten Solid Color and title and text by entering numbers and not just pushing them together with the mouse.
I would be very interested in this reason.

Thank you in advance
Walter

@Drew-Morris Thanks for your positive comments.

@walter-i. Thanks also. In answer to your question, to keep the tutorials as short as possible, I create the title beforehand and note the various parameter values as I'm creating it. It's then just a matter of entering the relevant values in the correct place as I'm doing the tutorial. I don't know whether that's what you're talking about when you state 'You surely have a reason why you shorten Solid Color and title and text by entering numbers and not just pushing them together with the mouse'. On the other hand, if you mean when I change the event length with the Event Length duration parameter, I like to point out in my tutorials the many ways of changing certain values. Another reason is that my mouse hand isn't as steady as it used to be, so changing the value is more accurate than just dragging with the mouse.🙁

@Jack S
I got that - I just thought there was a reason why you were typing numbers for the duration of the Solid Color and Title and Text (7 seconds) instead of simply using the mouse (from the default 10 seconds) to 7 seconds to shorten.
It's probably just more exact if you enter the numbers - and not, as I thought, could possibly have an impact on the preview or rendering performance.

Just make a quick Tut to add another way to make a count down timer,

The last upload did not go so well.... : Hope this works(

You can create another VEG file for that part and just import it into ur master timeline like @john_dennis said.

for the timecode OFX, you can click the preset dropdown menu on the top to choose the "time" setup, or just go thru video OFX tab and just drag & drop the time preset into the media

Hi alifftudm95 . Yes I know about the veg and other ways to add bits but was just offering other ways of doing it just in case. Vegas is so versatile...
