Needhelp: I am working on the vegas pro 8 timeline . I have the project there. What i need to do is to separate the project into 2 different parts.
1. birthdays
2. trips
On the timeline i have a video and a audio track. When i attempt to separate the video and audio tracks by pulling out the birthdays into a separate timeline,only the video track moves up ,and the audio track will not go along. If i try and pull them up separately,only the video track goe's and the audio track will not.
Can you help m out ? John

What i do is make a copy of the .veg file, then open up each copy individually and delete the parts i don't want anymore.

.I will put my question another way . I need to remove (edit out) sections of video and audio . example : remove 4 to 8 minutes video and audio.I use S to cut it out.
THEN i want to drag the unwanted video and audio up to those tracks. the problem: the video and audio cannot be dragged up together. i can drag up the video,but not the audio. they do not seem to be connected,JOHN

At the top is an icon that is "Ignore Event Grouping." UN-highlight it.

They *are* connected, but what I think you are trying to do is put an audio track into a video track. THAT you cannot do. To see if they are connected .. just slide the video back and forth and see if the audio follows it.

You can Ungroup the clip and you will break the connection .. but you still can't put an audio track onto a video track.

If you want to "remove" ("edit out") the section why not just DELETE it instead of moving it up?

You need both an empty video and an empty audio track to move them onto. Should work. Hi-light both tracks you want to move -- video and its audio -- and drag them onto the new pair of tracks.
