Successful Copy/Paste Process Between Projects

Has anyone been "successful" in using the copy/paste functions between veg projects? When I perform this process, I lose all actual text wording, pan/crop setups and FX functionality. Very annoying!

As a compromise, I thought about "rendering" that portion of project A that I want to use and then inserting the finished product into project B. But, my question would be what to "render as" since I want to avoid as much compression loss as possible? My finished output will either be for a mini-DV or DVD player.

Thanks

Generated media events cannot be reliably copy/pasted between open instances of Vegas. As a quick and dirty workaround, you can copy and paste the keyframes of generated media events between open instances of Vegas (text/format etc will carry over if you do it this way).

We are certainly aware of this and other related issues, and we'll try to improve the behavior in a future rev of Vegas.

Hopefully you can remedy this situation in a future update as I find that I could use many "parts" of a veg file over again for new projects.

As another alternative, what would be the most effective way to render a project to be able to "insert" it into another veg folder? Again, my final output will be both DV and DVD.

Thanks

You can render in AVI so you son't looose alot of information.

Art1 you must mean render it as DV. AVI is not a compression format.

the Sonic Foundry DV codec is supposed to be real good, so it should be safe to render it to DV and then use the clip in another project.
