Workflow question again 7.0...

Hi,

I am in the middel of editing my first real project in Vegas and it runs ok so far. One thing have I found that I cannot find out. My workflow to a start is basicly this:

I have a 60 min. DV file I put on the TL.
I play back from start and find cut points and stop
I press S to split the clip
I find the other cut point and press S again
I mark the clip in between, press delete and F for ripple delete.

The challenge that I face is this (maybe hard to explain in writing, but I try)

At first the clip is marked / highligted and the 'S' works. Sometimes when I reach the outpoint and want to 'S' again the clip is no longer highligted. I need to select it again, but when I do this, the playline moves to where ever I click, and my outpoint is gone.

Buttom line: am I doing something wrong here, or is there another way to do this better?
I can of course cut a bit to the right and finetune afterwards, but I was just wondering if something else could be done.

Hope I made myself clear, else I have to shoot the editing :)

/Ulf

May not be any faster, but I use the enter button which pauses the scrubber on the timeline. Then I just click on the scrubber over the event I want to split and hit s.

Ahh yes - thanks j razz - I had the idea that the clip should be highligted before you could 's' it but it is of course the trackselcetion to the left that determins that. My bad... ;-)
