Vegas for live presentations

Been asked to record a live production and then project it onto a screen at a "post party" a half hour after the production is over. Should I use a titler while capturing with two cams and a video mixer? Or should I throw the raw footage on the Vegas timeline, add titles and then project the timeline from a laptop thru a projector?

First time I'll be doing this...sure could use some advice!

If it was me I would use a switcher and titler and record "live" to a deck. Then all you have to do later is play it back for the party later.

Unless your computer is superfast, adding anything to the timeline may cause playback to stutter and skip frames. You might be able to get away with it for a few seconds for the main title, but i would avoid it as much as possible.
