Using command templates
If you frequently insert commands that use similar settings, you can create a template to insert command
settings automatically.
Creating a template
1. From the Insert menu, choose Command to display the Command Properties dialog.
2. Type the settings you want to use in the Command, Parameter, Comment, and Position boxes.
3. In the Template box, type the name you want to use to store the template.
4.
Click the Save button .
Recalling a template
1. From the Insert menu, choose Command to display the Command Properties dialog.
2. Choose the template you want to use from the Template drop-down list. Vegas Pro fills in the
Command, Parameter, Comment, and Position boxes using the information stored in the template.
3. Edit the settings in the Command, Parameter, Comment, and Position boxes as necessary.
4. Click OK.
Editing metadata commands
Vegas Pro saves your metadata command templates in the cmdtemp.xml file in the
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Sony\Vegas Pro\12.0 folder. You can edit this file directly to
modify your templates.
Inserting CD Track Regions
From the Insert menu, choose Audio CD Track Region to add a region using the current selection at the
cursor position. CD track regions are used for creating an audio CD track list for burning Red Book audio
CDs. For more information, see "Disc-at-Once (DAO or Red Book) CD Burning" on page 494.
If your first track region begins before 00:00:02:00, a timeline offset is automatically added so the first
track begins at exactly two seconds.
CD track numbering is based on the First track number on disc setting on the Audio CD tab in the
Project Properties dialog. For more information, see "Setting Project Properties" on page 53.
