Adding media over other events (punching-in vs. inserting)
When you drop a file on a blank spot on the timeline, an event is created at that location. What happens if
you drop a file on an existing event? You can either punch-in or insert an event.
Punch-in
If you add a media file in the middle of another event, a punch-in is created: an event is created where you
drop the file, and the new event simply lies on top of any existing events on the track.
1. Drag a media file from the Vegas Pro Explorer or Project Media window to the middle of an existing
event (or position the cursor and double-click a file in the Vegas Pro Explorer or Project Media
window).
2. The original event maintains its position on the timeline, but cuts to the new event where you added
the new file:
Inserting media
By using auto ripple, you can drop a media file in timeline and automatically move downstream events to
make space for the new event. For more information, see "Post-Edit Ripple" on page 147.
