I've been editing for a while and am at version 21. I realized I made a mistake some number of revisions ago. Is there a way to compare two .veg files so I can quickly locate the version just before the mistake?
Drag the two .veg files onto two stacked tracks in a new Vegas Project. Mute and unmute the top track to expose the bottom track until you see the differences.
... or you could set the composite mode of the top track to difference. The differences should jump out at you.
Thank you John_Dennis. That is a good workaround. I will try it. But I have a 6 hour event with 4 camera angles and 16 audio tracks. Doesn't it seem like a reasonable thing for magix to have put in their software? The veg file is just a list of instructions, If they created a simple editor to view the list of instructions I could find it in a minute.

@John-Lenihan Go to View -> Window -> Edit Details. This allows you to export a lot of information on the timeline as a table.
Select all of them, copy and paste them into any text comparator. You should be able to find the differences.
