Media Manager is a tool for importing and
exporting media pool information. Media pool
information for one or more Vegas projects
can be consolidated and exported to text or
Xml files. Manual clips logs can be created
manually or by importing Xml files, comma-,
or tab-delimited text files. Imported clip
logs can be used to capture video from tape
via the Vegas Capture utility and create a
cuts-only editing timeline. Finally, a
variety of media management functions can be
performed on the current project’s media
pool info.
 Import
clip logs for capture
A clip log contains a Tape Name,
Timecode In, Timecode Out, and
optionally a Clip Name for
capturing clips from tape.
Existing clip log information in
a comma- or tab-delimited text
or Xml file can be opened for
editing. New clip logs can be
created directly and saved to
text files. Import a clip log to
the current project to capture
the clips and optionally add the
clips to the timeline.
Add time to clips for capture
Imported clips can be padded
with additional pre-roll and
post-roll time to provide some
extra time in the captured clips
for editing.
Import existing media to add to
timeline
Existing media can be imported
from the list to the media pool
of the current project, with
optional creation of timeline
events based upon the order of
media in the list.
 Export
media pool information
The current project's media pool
information can be exported to
the media list and then saved as
Xml or text files. All of the
Vegas properties except for
capture information is exported.
Information from multiple
projects can be consolidated
into one list to provide usage
reports of media. Filters are
available to limit the types of
media that are exported.
Media pool functions
Additional media pool functions
can be performed on the current
project including: clean the
media pool, select or remove
media from the project, and
replace offline media.
