Obviously there is some confusion here. Could be either the slab of beer that I drank last night or the 17 cups of espresso that I drank this morning. But Sony are the major manufacturer in the video industry right up to broadcast standard. Obviously you are doing something wrong.
If you split 2 clips -- as you say -- and can't put them back together -- then instead of deleting the edited footage you should copy it to the clipboard if you need to use it later.
I can assure you there is nothing wrong with Vegas.

But I can't join 'em, right? i tried copy and pasting.

Comment by fredshovel

Too often on EE we don't get enough information as to exactly people are trying to do. If your problem is not solved you need to write a detailed explanation of exactly you are trying to do and we can run some tests for you. But just a couple of lines doesn't tell us anything.

Comment by roshkins

Should I open up a new question, and be detailed?

Comment by fredshovel

Here is ok. I've got too many EE T-shirts anyway.

Comment by roshkins

Ok, Here it goes:

I have two "events" in Vegas Movie Studio 8.0. Nomatter if if cut & repaste or anything else obvious, I can't merge the two events so that they are one event. When I look at the documentation, they don't have anything on merging or joining two events. So the question is: How do I merge or join two events?

(Is that clear enough? It's a very general question by its nature.)

Comment by fredshovel

The way most video editors work is that you import video either to the timeline or to a library or clipboard.
Assembly editing is dragging those clips onto the time line, in turn, where they should automatically join together.
Finally you have to make a new movie from the project files on the timeline -- by using either the save or share facility.
Is this what you are doing?

Comment by roshkins

No. I want to be able to join two events that I have clipped, and made some change to the other events. (So I can;t press undo, and have it go back together again.) I know I can do it in Windows Movie Maker, but why not in vegas?
