Viewing media markers and regions in events
From the View menu, choose Event Media Markers to toggle the display markers and regions that are saved in
a media file. These markers are displayed in the timeline in events that refer to the media file.
Media markers and regions cannot be edited within the event. However, when you edit the markers in
markers and regions in the Trimmer window or in an external audio editor, the event will reflect your
changes.
Tip:
When media markers are displayed, you can use them
as snap points for positioning the cursor and for edge-
trimming if
Snap to Markers is selected on the Options
menu. If a media file's frame rate does not match your project
frame rate, frame quantization will occur after the snap if
Quantize to Frames is selected on the Options menu.
Opening a file in an external audio editor from the Trimmer
The Trimmer allows you to open your selected audio editing application (e.g., Sound Forge) to perform
permanent edits to the media file. After you make the necessary changes and save the file in the audio
editor, Vegas automatically updates the event. Make sure that the media file’s name and location remain the
same. For more information, see Using an external audio editing program on page 84.
To open the audio editor from the Trimmer, click the
Open in Audio Editor button ( ).
Using the Edit Details window
The Edit Details window displays a database for all of the media in your project. It shows information about
how the files are being used and allows you to modify many of those properties. You may sort, add or change
information, rearrange columns, and edit items in the project.
This window provides an alternate method for working with events, audio CD track list items, command
markers, markers, and regions after they are placed in your project.
You can dock the Edit Details window in the window docking area or float it on the workspace. For more
information, see Window docking area on page 21.
