As Administrator, how do I share Veggies?

I know this must be a 101 question, but keeping it Vegas-centric how should I go about this when everything I've done has been as admin? All my veggies and video work.

Of course this has become uppermost for me as urgent as wanting to test the "Other User" possibility for the search for stability.

TIA

Hi Liam! - Yeah, after reading all the tsuris, aggravation this has given some Vegas old-hands here I've not even installed 511. And after hearing the mixed responses regarding using making a new User account as being a "way-forward" I'm starting to review if even THAT is worthwhile or could even be foolhardy.

At present I'm quickly withdrawing any paid work away from VP11 and getting back to VP10 for finalising client work. Just hoping that whatever has made VP11 croak, hasn't bled sideways into VP10 too.

I'm now just using VP11 for its amazing GPU accel qualities for rendering to MP4 to get to clients for review. Look, VP11 has much to be praised for, but if stability is an issue for me then I'd be doubly foolish to start editing in it. In-it?

SCS, get me my VP11 working, please . . . . . . ?

Cheers

Grazie,

I'm not sure if my "sideways bleed" is an issue from the initial 11 build or just from 511, but I can not render Sony MP4s in version 10 now. Every other render format seems fine except that one. This was a big blow to my confidence because other than the bugs of stabilization and keyframing that all have seen in 11, it has been running reliably for me. Now I'm becoming frightened that something big and unforeseen may be waiting to bite me.

Grazie,

In Windows 7, right click (from an admin account) on any folder and select Properties. When the Properties dialog pops up, select the Security tab. That will let you adjust permissions to the other users. You can give them all access (generally a bad idea), read access, write access, modify access, etc.

If you want to share your veggies so other users can open them and nothing else, place them in a folder with a read access only. If you want them to be able to change them, put them in a folder with a read, write and modify access.

In addition to folders, you can do that to individual files. Again, right click on a file, select Properties, then Security, click Edit and you can change what any user can do with that file.
