Joining events in Vegas 4

[Lexus]

Hi,

In Vegas, splitting one event into two is done by clicking on the timeline where you want the split and keying 'S'.

But how do I join two contiguous events to make a single event on the timeline?


Thanks.

slide them together on the time line ..

see:

From the Options menu, choose Quantize to Frames to force edits to occur on project frame boundaries. This setting is independent of grid and marker snapping.

When Quantize to Frames is turned on, the following actions will always occur on frame boundaries:

Moving events

Positioning the cursor

Making selections

Placing markers and regions

Edits that do not occur on frame boundaries can change the appearance of your video. For example if you split two events and move them together to create a cut, splits that are not at frame boundaries can produce a short dissolve in your rendered video.

be carefull about using this if audio editing

you can also buy a plugin called excalibar which will appear to join two clips-- same thing can be done yourself and group them together ..

but excalibar has a lot of other great features also
