Navigating to regions
You can move the cursor to the start or end of a region by clicking either region marker. You can press Ctrl+Right Arrow or Ctrl+Left
Arrow to move the cursor to the next or previous region markers.
Right-click a region marker to display a shortcut menu that allows you to navigate to the beginning (Go to Start) or the end (Go to
End) of a region.
Deleting regions
1.
Place the mouse pointer on the region marker’s starting or ending point. The pointer changes to a hand icon ( ).
2.
Right-click to display a shortcut menu.
3.
From the shortcut menu, choose Delete. The region is removed from your project.
The tags are not renumbered as you remove them. For example, if you have five regions in your project and delete region 3 and 4,
the remaining regions are listed at 1, 2 and 5. However, as you add regions again, Vegas Pro software begins numbering the missing
sequence first, in this case 3 and 4, and then 6, 7, and 8.
Deleting all regions and markers

Right-click the marker bar.
2.
From the shortcut menu, choose Markers/Regions, and choose Delete All from the submenu.
Working with command markers
Command markers add interactivity to a multimedia presentation streamed over the Internet by inserting metadata into streaming
media files. As your video plays, any number of other actions can be programmed to occur. These commands are a part of the
Microsoft® Windows Media® and RealMedia® streaming formats. Most frequently, these actions add text or open a related Web site
where the viewer can find more information about the topic at hand. The specific commands available vary depending on the final
format of your project.
You can use command markers to add captions to your project. For more information, see Adding captions to Windows Media Video
(WMV) files on page 300.
Command markers can also indicate when an instruction (function) will occur in a WAV file being used in a radio broadcast
environment (Scott Studios data). The following two sections define the markers for both streaming media and Scott Studios files.
Note:
Windows Media Player 9 will ignore metadata commands unless the Run script commands when present check box is
selected on the Security tab of the player's Preferences dialog. Be sure to instruct your audience to select this check box before
playing your file.
Note:
While streaming media files can be played on any hard drive or CD drive, they require a special streaming media server
(provided by your Internet service provider) to stream properly across the Internet.
