Pre-hands on question

As I wait for the Vegas CDs to arrive, question: On dropping a veg. file as a nested event on the timeline, does this mean it will "play" with the color corrections set in that nested veg file? I have a feature film divided into eight project files, and several of the files have color correction plugins not only on the events, but in the project-wide plugin on the preview window. In other words, the project window's setting is for "movielook" curves and correction for example, and the events have many tweaks and sub-adjustments. Should this all just, well, play as the cursor moves along the timeline in the master project?

It will play with everything you've done to the nested file, excepting 3D stuff, because it's flattened when it's dropped as a veg. In other words, yes, it will all carry over.
What's really cool is that you can color correct the veg file, too.

Spot? " . . excepting 3D stuff, . . " meaning? If I import a veg wich HAS 3D this wont be reflected in the top level veg? Or are you saying that if I bring in a 3D veg I can't then 3D it within the top level veg?

Grazie

Sorry for my slow understanding, but I want to make sure I have this right.

Here is a simple, crazy example:
If I have a project that I increased the yellow saturation on the whole thing then I drop in a veg that had the blue saturation increased...will this make my veg video show up as green :) ?

Seriously though, other than 3D stuff, will the effects from both the veg and the project be played at the same time?

thanks,
Carson

Good news on this and thanx as always DSE. Looks like I can just remove the project-wide settings (e.g. the 'movielook' curves on the preview window plugin) from the projects and apply one consistent plugin instead to the preview window on the master project--though I assume my Vegas 5 saved presets won't carry over to Vegas 6?

Addendum to my last question for anyone concerned: My Vegas 5 presets, including the specially named FX chains, etc., all carried over to Vegas 6.
