I am learning how to work with Sony Vegas Movie Studio (The cheap one $89.00) I am picking it up but I am having trouble splitting my video into sections. Let me explain. After I capture my wedding I want to Split the video by scene or Split by Frame content. Can someone tell me how to do this?

S key splits your clip. Much like the razor tool in Premiere.

I understand that the S keys splits the track, but after I capture my wedding I want to Split the video by scene or Split by Frame content. I want to split the whole wedding at once. (Split by scene or each frame) Can Vegas split wedding into frames all at once, or just one split at a time

Thanks

If by this you mean that you have video/audio on multiple tracks and want to do an even split on all of the tracks at once, then do this...

1. Don't select a clip, but place your cursor in the timeline where you want the video split

2. press "S" for split

Now you should get a straight cut though all of your tracks.

I think Gary is trying to find out if it has scene detect when capturing?

Yes, I want to split the complele wedding and reception at each scene, and I wanted to know if you can do this all at once?

Gary, I have not used Vegas. In adobe premiere it is called scene detect, and is done during the capture process, not after it is captured.

Vegas Pro does as well, so Studio might also. If you are capturing in HD, there is a free program called HDVSplit that will capture and split into scenes. Real easy to use.
