Moving sublips from one project to another

Dave Jones wrote on 1/21/2010, 6:21 PM

Hello,

I have a completed project where my client wants another version that will contain many subclips from an old project.

Does anyone know of a way to copy the subclips from the old project into the new project so that they are available from the Media Bins as per normal.

Thankyou.

DJ

i think the last time i had to do this i simply opened another instance of vegas and drag and dropped into a new media bin folder in it.

Not sure whether drag and drop works but Copy and Paste certainly does but you must have the two Vegas projects open at the ame time (although one or the other can be mininmised as necessary).

I sure wish we could log subclips in the Media Manager. It would greatly simplify reuse of subclips.

I thought this post would be about food with the word sublips in the title . . . (grin)

just teasing ... move along without reply, I'm okay with that. . . (wink)

Until that time... Earl J.

If you haven't started the new project yet, here's what I'd do: Open the old project. Delete everything not needed in the new project. File - Save As to the new project. Done.

This method probably has another advantage. Last I checked (it's been a while), when you copy or drag/drop a subclip between projects it reverts back to its original default name. So if for some reason you've renamed the subclips you'll lose all those names.

I don't think this will happen if you do a save-as.

As others have said it sure would be nice to be able to either

1) Export subclips into Media Manager
or
2) Export (or "save as") subclips from the project media bin to disc as individual .avi files
or
3) Export to some metadata file on disc that could then be imported into another project.
