Window Docking Area and Floating Window Docks
You can use the window docking area to keep frequently used windows available, but out of the way, while
you are working with a project.
Tips:
n If you want to display the window docking area at the top of the Vegas Pro window, select the
Display timeline at bottom of main window check box on the Display tab of the Preferences
dialog. Clear the check box to display the docking area at the bottom of the Vegas Pro
window.
n If you want to display tabs at the top of docking windows, select the Position tabs at top of
docked windows check box on the Display tab of the Preferences dialog.
You can also create multiple floating docks to organize your Vegas Pro windows. These docks can float
over the Vegas Pro window or — if you have a dual-monitor video card — on a secondary monitor.
n To dock a window, drag it to the docking area or a floating dock. Drop near the top of the window
to create a tabbed window or a new docking area. Drop at the top of the window to dock the
window at the top. Drop at the bottom of the window to dock the window at the bottom.
n
To undock a window, click the handle and drag it out of the docking area or floating dock.
n To prevent a window from docking when you drag it, hold the Ctrl key.
n To expand a docked window so it fills the docking area, click the Maximize button . Click again to
restore the window to its previous size.
n To remove a window from the docking area or a floating dock, click the Close button .
You can dock several windows in the same area of the screen, and the windows will be layered. Click a
window’s tab to bring it to the top.
