If I place the cursor over an event, but that event isn't selected, and I then select the track header for that event, it doesn't seem to make any change to the behavior I described above. OhMyGosh - your suggestion didn't work for me. Otherwise, if *no* events are selected anywhere in the project, then *all* events at the cursor position are split by the S button. Otherwise, if any events anywhere else in the project are "selected", but none of them are touching the cursor position, then the S button has no effect at all (nothing is split) If any of those individual events are selected (the event itself has a colored background behind the thumbnails) then only those events are split when the S button is pressed. Look up and down at all the events on the timeline at the cursor position. I was playing with this in Vegas 7, so I don't know if VMS behaves differently, but for me, this seems to summarize the Split behavior: If I understand the problem correctly, the situation is something like this: you probably have multiple tracks of video, you have the cursor positioned just where you want it, but you only want to split on one particular track of video - not on all of them. Is there some way to select an event while hovering near the cursor, in such a manner that you're guaranteed that the cursor does not move?

Like I said I can get around it, but it's a frustration nevertheless. My only workaround has been to note what exact frame I'm on, then select the event, (which almost always moves the cursor), then navigate back to the frame I want before splitting. Now here's the frustration: How do I select the video event that I want to split, without moving the cursor? When I hover over the cursor the mouse pointer changes to this little left/right arrow thingy, and sometimes when I select the event the cursor doesn't move, but other times it does. Then suddenly I realize, I don't have the video event selected that I want to split. I move the cursor until I find the point where I want to split.


Let's say the situation is, I want to split just one video event at a certain point in the timeline.

This is a little bugger that's been a frustration to me for a while, so I'm wondering if someone knows how to solve it.
