Convert Vegas 6 Project File

Spiffy577 wrote on 8/23/2023, 9:16 PM

So, here's probably a long shot... I have a very old Vegas 6 veg project that I'd like to do some work on. Any chance there is any way to convert it to a newer more universal file type or even just view the cut points of the original veg file? I did a few fade transitions but nothing major, just basic cuts. I need to know the in / outs timestamps in the original file.

Lost cause?

Thanks,

Josh

Is it a .veg file? Are you sure it won't open in a newer version?

I suppose it potentially could but I don't have a newer version yet. Is there a way to just view the timestamp cuts so then I can open it in any editor? Or is there a way to make sure I can open it in the latest version?

Does VEGAS 6 have an export to xml feature? Otherwise you're going to need VEGAS. If your hardware is modern try the trial Dexcon linked to. If not if you make it available for download one of us can test it.

Could someone check it? It's actually my wedding video I did about 15 years ago. The video is interlaced and I did some slow motion effects. Let's just say the technology then is not the same as today. I would love to redo it but not have to start over.

Here's one of the test vegs.

Never used Google drive sharing, hopefully it works.

Thanks,

And the video recording of it as well? Amazing my friend. Thank you so much!

Wow! Thank you so much! So you were able to open it in 21? Is that where you got the information? If it works, I have five or six more I could actually view.

Again, thank you!

Vegas Pro 21 should work fine.
