Hello all... I'm thinking of editing a close to feature length documentary in Vegas (60+ min.) Now, I've used Vegas to record music for years, and I know that things can get bogged down when there are a lot of events on the timeline. So with audio I tend to break up big projects into thier smaller components (Never more than 1 take of the band on the same screen) and then take the final mixes back onto the timeline for mastering.
I'd assume that I'd run into the same problem editing a project of this length on 1 timeline. So my question is, how do you guys go about working. Do you do 1 scene per timeline and then combine all of the rendered scenes at the end of the editing? The main problem I see in doing things this way is making sure that any filters/other plugs I use on the footage is consistant from scene to scene, but I can handle that with a careful attention to detail and saving a lot of presets in the plug ins.
Anyway, this is my first project of this magnatude, so any other advice would be welcome.
Matt
