you can switch out as many clips as you like, just as long as they have the same name....

if you want to save your editing you should make sure your clips are the exact same when changing over to a new clip... aparently vegas just kinda points to a file... or something... i switched out a clip with a completely different clip just by renaming it... and it kept the same editing, but it had a whole new scene there instead......

im not sure exactly how it works, but as long as the file is exact in lengh and beginning and end, and you rename it to the original file, then vegas should still work with it.

or you can just have Vegas point to the replacement file... but it gets annoying to have to "search" for the replacement each time...

Vegas has a feature called "takes" that might be useful. More about it in the Help menu.

And it helps to keep something in mind when reading Vegas documentation. Vegas has this concept they call "event". An event in Vegas terms is just a hole on a track. It gets filled with media, either video or audio, according to instructions that the user gives. For example, Vegas will start taking one frame after another from a known file and place each into an event. If it runs out of frames (end of file), it will start over from the first frame in the file (if the Loop parameter is checked). A take is just a pointer to a file that Vegas will use as source material to fill an event. Each event can have a set of takes (pointers) attached to it.

It's a little confusing since the only way to make an event is to drop media on a track. But you'll understand more about how Vegas works if you mentally separate files from events.

Vegas - Getting Started wrote:Events are periods of time on the timeline in Vegas that act as windows into media files, either whole or in part. When dragging a media file onto the timeline, you are automatically creating an event that contains that file's contents.

Ok, I reencoded my videos I was using to Lagarith, and what happened was:

1) The files got bigger (you told me that)
2) When I played the files in media player classic, the playback was a little laggy
3) In Vegas, the previews got a little less laggy, but it's still better for me to render instead of using the preview
4) When I renderred in Lagarith, it interlaced the video T_T

The main problem is that it's interlaced. But it won't be a problem if I reencode the renderred video into DivX, turning the de-interlacing on, and it removes the interlace.
Any tips?
