Yes. I like copy paste anyway cause your cuts are all there.

Forgive me for my ignorance, but I assume "nesting" is the term used when you open a new project, let's say in 1080p, and bringing an old project file into the new project's timeline to bring it up in there? If that's the case, the same is true for Vegas. Whatever the resolution settings in the project that you're bringing into your new project's timeline are, then the footage that is contained in that project (no matter WHAT resolution it the original files are) will conform to its original project settings, not the settings of the new project you're dragging it into.

And yes, I understand how confusing that is. Layers n' layers n' layers.....Inception, anyone?

Haha, I just searched for the term on here and found my answer. ;-)
I've done that many times, but I never knew it was called "nesting".

Thank you, Mr. Troxel, who posted the info I was looking for in #3 of his post here:
