V3 or V4: how to concatenate (assemble) separate .veg files

sherwood wrote on 3/24/2003, 3:18 PM
I have 8 "scenes" (unfortunately) in separate files (each is about 1 minute).
I want to combine them so i can still edit them all in one 8-minute piece.

I cannot seem to find how to cut and paste timelines between files, since the paste buffer goes away
between changing files, and you cannot open more than one .veg file at a time.

I can render as AVI and then bring those into one accumulated file, but then i cannot go back and
edit/trim any more the original tracks.

It's fine if they appear in 8 separate groupings of tracks-- this is not critical one way or another

thanks for any advice!

Yes you can, just start another instance of VV and open another Vegas project file. If you try to open another veg file from within already running instance of VV, of course it's going to close previous veg file. Do this: open your first veg file normaly, then click "Start"->"Programs"->"Sonic Foundry"->"VV" this will open another instance of the program, once you have all of them opened, highlight the entire timelilne, CTRL+C, go back to where you want to post it: CTRL+V. This will paste all of your timeline from one project to another, adding files to Media Pool

Works for me too! I've even openned up a Video Factory project in V4, saved as a V4 and copy pasted into a second instance of V4 - That is VF >>> V4! Neat eh!
