Media can be dragged and dropped directly into the timeline from the Vegas Explorer Window.

Major file formats for standard definition, HD, and 3D video are supported. The Vegas Explorer window is newly enhanced and shows Vegas-compatible media files that reside on your hard drives, flash drives, or camcorders. The Preview window is primarily used to play back clips, and the display is shown in the small default window, full screen, or on an External Monitor using special graphics cards.
