Using the Presto Wizard for Windows
This section shows Step 1 of 5 for creating a Presto project with your presentation slides and videos in Vegas Pro. Go to Step 2.
Step 1: Get Video
In this first step, you will add your videos of the presenter and
projection screen to the project
and choose a position for the presenter - either to the left of the
slides, or to the right.
- Click the first Add Media... button, and find the video file
containing the video of the presenter. Presto creates the video and
audio tracks for the presenter, places your presenter media on those
tracks, and sets the frame rate of your project to be the same as the frame
rate of your presenter video.
- Now click the second Add Media... button to add the video file
containing the video of the projection screen or add a computer-generated video
of the presentation such as a screen capture or Keynote movie. Presto creates the video and audio tracks for the
screen, and places your screen media on those tracks.
- Next, decide which audio track you want to use in your presentation
video. The drop-down menu on line three selects the audio track from your
presenter video by default. However you can choose to use the audio from the
screen track, or choose Mix to use all the audio tracks. If
you have any independent "dual system" audio for the presentation, choose New Track from the drop-down menu and add that audio file
using the third Add Media... button.
- The last thing to do at this stage is to indicate which side of the
slides the presenter should appear. This will
establish the default layout for the project. You can easily change this
later.

Notes about this step
- If your presenter video or screen video is split into several files, you can add them all at once by choosing multiple files in the file
chooser in the order that they should appear on the timeline.
Alternatively, you can add them one at a time by pressing Add
Media... for each file. In this latter case, make sure the timeline
cursor is positioned at the end of the last clip on the associated
track, because this is where Vegas Pro will add your next clip.
- If you have already created a Vegas Pro project and now want
to apply Presto to it, open your project in Vegas Pro
and start Presto. Then simply select the appropriate tracks from the
drop-down menus.
