Ok, maybe it's just me but has anyone ever done a project where you use like 30 tracks?

For example when creating a complex montage if you want 10 images to do different things all at the same time, then put each image on a different track to control the track motion independently.

However when you start getting like 15 or more tracks it seems that they could be grouped in their display on the time line.

For example,
if I have tracks 1-9 doing a montage in a song then at the end of this portion of the project they could be grouped and they would all display under 1 track which could be ungrouped.

Sort of like a tree directories.

That way now you show 1 track but these tracks all serve to a certain part of the project.

Anyone, Anyone???

try using nested veg files to keep things neat and tidy. create your multi track part then save it as its own veg. import that veg into a master veg and layer it with other veg files.

And the beauty of doing it this way is that you can right-click on the veg file on your timeline and select Edit in Vegas (nested.veg) and it opens the nested project for you in a second instance of Vegas. When you are done, you save and it updates the original project you were working in. I work this way all the time.

This is also along the lines of what others are hoping to see come to Vegas from Acid, 'Folder Tracks'. I for one, welcome them wholeheartedly.

I too am guilty of building a project that has numerous tracks such as this. The good thing is that Vegas can handle it without a Problem. Some of the other NLE's I use tend to choke up when the layers start to stack. Personally I would like to see the .VEG be able to open/house multiple timelines within a project. I just think this organizes a project better than having multiple .VEG's... but that's probably because I'm used to using it in Premiere, Final Cut, & Avid.

I'm just not sure how they could implement multiple timelines w/ Folder Tracks & Nested Sequences alongside being able to run Multiple Instances of Vegas... but I sure can keep my fingers crossed in hopes of seeing it someday.

sync,
I agree with that folder tracks idea. It seems that this would be a very logical way of approaching the timeline in veg.
