System information
1. Right-click an audio or video event in the timeline.
2. Choose Reverse from the shortcut menu. The event is reversed on the timeline, and a subclip is
created in the Project Media list for the reversed event. For more information about subclips, see
"Using the Trimmer" on page 150.
An arrow is displayed on the event to indicate that it has been reversed:
Using Takes as Alternate Versions of Events
You can use takes to associate multiple media files with an event.
For example, if you create multiple versions of a voiceover event or multiple camera angles of a video
event, you can maintain all the takes in your project. By specifying which take should be used before
playback or rendering, you can maintain several drafts of your project in a single project file.
For information about using takes for multicamera editing, please see "Editing Multicamera Video" on page
194.
Tips:
n When you open a copy of an event in a sound editor, Vegas Pro automatically creates a copy of the
event and saves it as a take within the event. For more information, see "Opening a Copy of an
Event in an Audio Editor" on page 179.
n If you want to slip all of an event's takes when slipping media, make sure Slip All Takes is selected in
the Options menu. For more information, see "Slipping and Sliding Events" on page 164.
Creating an event with multiple takes
1. In the Project Media or Explorer window, hold Ctrl or Shift while clicking the media files you want to
use as takes.
2. Right-click and drag the media files to the location on the timeline. A shortcut menu is displayed
when you release the mouse button.

A single event is created, but you can choose which of the media files you want the event to play by
choosing the active take for the event.
Adding a take to an event
