I'm just starting to use Vegas for audio post production for video edited on other platforms. Normally I use it for editing my own video and doing the audio post work.
The only method I have for importing the audio that is common to both edit systems is OMF. That being because the video editing is being done on Liquid Edition 6 which exports OMF and I have EDL Convert which can convert it to a Vegas XML script.
My problem is that OMF treats stereo audio as separate left and right mono tracks. This isn't a problem in programs like ProTools where you can drag two mono tracks into a stereo track and they act, and edit, as if they are stereo interleaved.
However Vegas imports them as mono and, other than panning the tracks left and right, I have to deal with them for editing and mixing as two separate tracks. There isn't a drag and drop solution that I know of.
I can of course render them as stereo interleaved but it's a serious pain on an hour documentary with stereo music and atmos tracks already laid in by the video editor.
Rendering would also leave me without the ability to extend the edits if necessary, as it often is, with the handles provided by the vision editor.
Does anyone have any simple tricks for curing this problem in Vegas?
