before creating events on the timeline.
To add files to your project without creating events, choose Import from the File menu, and then choose
Media from the submenu (or click the Import button in the Project Media window) the files are added
to the Project Media window.

Adding Layered PSD Files to the Timeline
You can add layered PSD files to the Vegas Pro timeline, with each layer of the file being an event on its
own track.
These events are just like other events in Vegas Pro software. For example, you could use track motion to
move layers individually, use parent tracks to group and move layers together, apply track effects to
animate just one layer of the graphic, or you could replace a layer with a video.
1. Select a layered PSD file in the Explorer or Project Media window.
2. Right-click and drag the file to the timeline.
