Using an external audio editing program
Vegas Movie Studio software is a nondestructive editing environment, which means that the original source files remain
unchanged by any editing done in the software. Destructive edits that modify the actual source media file may be done in a
separate application such as Sound Forge® software from Sony Creative Software Inc. By setting up a separate audio editor, you can
quickly access the program from Vegas Movie Studio software via the Tools menu or by pressing Ctrl+E.
Setting up an audio editing program
If you already have Sound Forge software loaded on your computer when you installed Vegas Movie Studio software, the
installation should have detected it and made it your default audio editing program. However, if you do not have Sound Forge
software or want to specify a different audio editor, you can do so in the Preferences dialog.
1.
From the Options menu, choose Preferences. The Preferences dialog appears.
2.
In the Preferences dialog, click the Audio tab.
3.
Click the Browse button to the right of the Preferred audio editor box. The Preferred Audio Editor dialog appears.
4.
From this dialog, navigate to the application to use for editing audio files.
5.
Select the application’s executable icon (.exe) and click Open to set the application as your default audio editor.
The application’s path appears in the Preferred audio editor box.
