Creating a teaser/trailer

[daddog]

I have several different VS projects going for our school. I was wondering if there was a simple way of cutting 20 or 30 second sections from each one (all the tracks) and pasting it to another new VS project to create a teaser or trailer for the final DVD of the year. Not quite sure of the best or easiest way to do that. Suggestions anyone?

Thanks in advance.

Others may have a simpler method, but personally I would just open each project in turn in the timeline, find the bit I wanted; cut it out with the scissors and then drag that bit up into the library window. Then close the project without saving it (which would otherwise delete that bit from the project). Then do the same with the other projects. Then when you have finished this, simply drag each bit back down from the library window into the timeline, insert transitions and do any other editing, and render as a new video clip.

Thanks Ken,

Would that also copy all the sound and other tracks? That is what I was hoping to do, find a method that would drag all the tracks into the library and save them. Maybe I would have to make the cut and drag each track piece up to the library. Not a big deal doing it that way, but wanted to grab 'all' the tracks at once and import them right into another project.
