Set Project Properties Go to the File menu, click on Properties, and select the template “HD 1080 30p” for a full HD project running at 30 frames per second.
Save the Project Initially, the project is untitled, so save it by going to the File menu, clicking on Save As, navigating to the desired folder, and entering a name for the project (e.g., “Spring Flowers Version 1”).
Add Video Clips
The Project Media panel is empty, so tap the Explorer tab to view the folder structure and navigate to the desired video clips.
Upon locating a clip, double-clicking on it adds it to the timeline. When asked to match the project settings to the clip, select “No” since the settings were edited earlier.
Repeat this process to add additional clips, with Vegas automatically adding the next clip at the end of the last loaded clip.
