I had no idea this existed; Question:

I tired this technicque onthe timeline and it put a RED Border either on Left or Right (Depending on what key I selected of course) and when hitting delete it removed the same Event no matter which side.

I wanted to:

S split the Event
Select a Key for LEFT or RIGHT

and have the option of either deleting LEFT of the SPLIT or RIGHT of the SPLIT

Am I missing something here? I am trying to understand.

The "[" and "]" keys set the "editing mode" - that's the reason you saw the red outlines.

When you press "S", it splits and the right side is automatically selected. When you then press "[", it puts the clip on the right side into "edit mode". Pressing "[" again puts next event to the left (i.e. the event to the left of the split) into edit mode - therefore selecting it. That's why this procedure will work.

Alternately, the 7 key on the numpad will also do the same as "[". Do a search in the help file to find out more about editing with the numberpad. You can do all sorts of editing using only the numberpad.

Thanks again Edward

This is exactly what I have been wating to do since I started using Vegas; I'll be sure to take a xloser look at 'Key Commands'.

Thank you!

Here is another wish: adopt Photoshop's filter model. Let each filter have its own opacity, mask, and blend mode.

I'm kinda unclear on what you mean: You mean like the ability to fade filters (Edit/Fade)?

Close...I am talking about adjustment layers (speaking of which, there are rumors that the next version is going to have all filters as adjustment layers.)
