Using the Edit Details window

This feature is available only in the full version of Vegas software.

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 and floating window docks on page 24.

Viewing the Edit Details window

To view the Edit Details window, choose Edit Details from the View menu or press Alt + 4 . The Show drop- down list allows you to view categorized project information. You can edit most entries by double-clicking them or by right-clicking them to display a shortcut menu.

Right-click an entry to display a shortcut menu, or double-click an entry to edit it.

Use the scroll bar to view other columns in the window.

Audio CD track list

The Audio CD track list category displays information about the track and index markers placed on the CD layout bar. This information is used to burn audio CDs. For more information, see Understanding tracks and indices on page 351.

Commands

The Commands category displays information about commands that are placed along the project’s timeline. This category displays four columns: the command’s position along the timeline, the command type, its parameters, and any comments that were entered when the command marker was placed in your project. Right-click a command entry to display a shortcut menu. For more information, see Working with command markers on page 119.
