This week end I plan to (at last !) upgrade my PC (new motherboard, new drive, xp re-install....
----
Due to these major changings, I'll probably end up with my current drives letters and IDE hierarchy all mixed up in XWP. It would not be a great deal per se, BUT :
---
My currently UNfinished projects are based on clips which are located on my dedicated video data drive, and defined within projects as a few bins...
These projects contain in total something like 3500 individual clips (!).
It therefore would be a real nightmare to retrieve the paths to those clips/bins by hand !!
---
Now, my anxious -and maybe naive question- question :
--
IF I end up on my new system with drive letters all mixed up, when I open my projects, Vegas will probably tell me that it cannot find the defined bins/clips any more....
Is there an easy way to update the path to the bins/clips when it happens ?
---
The safest way would probably be to wait for my projects to be totally finished before I upgrade.... but it may take several weeks, and I'd really want to work on a stronger machine soon.
So, do you think I can go ahead without losing all those hours of work ?
Thanks in advance for your lights on this !
