Re: Can I Copy and Paste From One Project To Another?

Thanks for the info.  I'll keep that in mind if I ever want to do it again.  Unfortunately, I had already just re-done it in the master before I saw this.  Amazingly (to me, anyway), I couldn't even cut and paste the TEXT in the title to a Word doc just to save me from keying it in again.  (It was more than a title - it was like movie credits with names, songs, etc.)  I figured I could at least cut and paste the text.

 

The bigger issue was I had done a "save as" of my main project, deleted all but the 55 pictures I had, then added transitions and music, burned it to a RW DVD so I could see how it looked, then figured if it looked good I would just copy and paste the info into my master.  Well I wound up redoing that as well once I figured out I couldn't do that.  In Pinnacle, whether it was a title or just the video track or audio or both it was a simple highlight of what I wanted, copy it, close that project, open another one, paste it in.  Done.

 

I also had trouble editing today.  If I edited my pictures, maybe changed one or added one, it messed up my soundtrack.   In Pinnacle I would click a lock icon on the timeline and edit either the audio or video to my heart's content and not mess up the other track.  I could leave the audio in place but replace the video.  For my daughter's wedding, for example, I took video from 3 different cameras but used the audio from just one so it played smoothly but I could switch the video around for the best shots and it looked very good.


Dare I ask how to lock just the audio or video track?  Don't spend a lot of time replying.  I already edited my music file by putting it way out in the timeline where there wasn't any video track.  Then I could split the audio clip, copy part of it, and paste it back in.  I needed the music to last a little longer while the pictures were displaying.  Then when I was done I moved it where I wanted, but even at that, I had to be careful because moving it sometimes messed up the video track if I didn't do it just right.

 

The good news is I'm pretty much done with my video.
