and edit and apply effects the same as you would a standard
media event. Nesting can also help you organize a timeline or
apply other effects.
Split-Screen A/B Previewing
Compare your affected and unaffected video, or compare the
timeline with a clipboard image—all viewable in real-time on an
external monitor via 1394 enabled hardware.
System-Wide Media Management
You can use the Media Manager window to search and manage your
collection of media assets so you can easily find the right file
for your Vegas projects. The Media Manager maintains a database
of your files, including the attributes, ACID metadata, and tags
that you can assign to classify your audio and video clips.
AAF Import and Export
You can use AAF (Advanced Authoring Format) files to exchange
projects between applications.
A/V Synchronization Detect and Repair
When audio and video events are not aligned, Vegas software will
highlight the events in the timeline so you can see
synchronization problems at a glance. The software determines
whether source events are synchronized by comparing grouped and
overlapping media.
Envelope Automation Recording
Record track envelope and keyframe parameters in real-time using
a mouse or external control surface hardware with touch and
latch record modes and automatic post-record keyframe thinning.
Automation parameter control is available for both stereo and
5.1 tracks and buses, as well as for video track envelopes.

.MOV, MPEG-2, Windows Media 9 Series, RealVideo 9, .PNG and
.JPEG sequences. Work with project sizes up to 2048x2048.
Precision Snapping
Vegas Pro 8 offers several object "snapping" options. You can
snap to events on any track. In addition, color-coded snap
indicators denote a snap object type; marker, region, event,
cursor, grid. Complex projects involving multiple tracks with
each containing several events prove difficult and tedious to
precise align events placement. By providing more snap objects
across all tracks, precise event placement is simplified.
View Media Marker Names in Events
Media used in the timeline may contain markers. Vegas Pro 8
software can enable the display of these media markers directly
on the timeline event. By displaying the individual media
markers on the explicit media event and editor can quickly focus
on key points of interest with out cluttering the entire
workspace.
Enhanced Keyboard Mapping
Vegas Pro 8 offers improved flexibility to customize keyboard
shortcuts for easy skill transfer from another application.
