Optimally use project notes in VEGAS Pro 19

Project notes are a valuable tool when working on larger projects or collaborating in a team in MAGIX VEGAS Pro 19. In this guide, you will learn how to effectively use project notes to improve your workflows and keep important information structured.

Key Takeaways

• Project notes help you manage information efficiently.
• You can add, edit, and color-code notes.
• The feature allows you to navigate between different timecodes and mark notes as completed.

Step 1: Accessing Project Notes

To use your project notes, you first need to ensure you are in the correct area of VEGAS Pro. Click on the "Project Notes" tab in the application. There you will find the basic functions for creating and editing your notes.

Step 2: Adding a New Project Note

The main function of project notes is adding notes. Click on the option to create a new project note. You will see that a blank note without a title is generated. You can now customize this note.

Step 3: Editing the Note

After creating the note, move to the input line and write something like "PSD Tutorials". Now you can also add the date, e.g., "Monday, September 6th". This way you can capture the timing of your note, which can be helpful for editing later on.

Step 4: Providing Detailed Information

To further customize the note, for example, specify that you want to make a "Frame cut" at mark 25. This way, you know exactly what needs to be done at which point in your project.

Step 5: Adding More Notes

You always have the option to add more notes in the same section. This allows you to collect different tasks or information related to your current work. To increase clarity, it is recommended to categorize the notes thematically.

Step 6: Colors and Sorting

Another useful feature is the ability to set colors for your notes. This way, you can highlight important information and sort them better. Click on the color selection tab to generate a new color for your note.

Step 7: Using Timecodes

When working on larger projects, you can switch between different timecodes using project notes. You have the option to display the notes on your timeline, providing you with clear orientation, especially when multiple people are working on the same project.

Step 8: Task Management

With project notes, you can also mark tasks that are already completed and hide them if necessary. This function is very helpful to keep track of pending tasks. Simply click on the note to make this status update.

Step 9: Managing Completed Notes

If you no longer need notes, you can also delete them or adjust their visibility. This way, you always maintain a clear view and can focus on the essentials – the parts of the project that still need editing.

Summary

You have now learned how to use project notes in MAGIX VEGAS Pro 19. Applying this function enables you to manage your projects in a structured and efficient manner. Use the opportunities to make your work even more productive and organized.
