Hiya all.

I have a situation whereby I have a veg file that uses several videos which are mostly kept in one folder. The problem is, this folder keeps on moving to different locations.

At the mo, when I open the veg file (if the video folder has been moved) I have to click on each video file and manually replace it with the same video but in its new location i.e. effectiviely tell vegas the location of the video file.

Is there a better way to do this? Is there some way I can select all the video files and then tell vegas to "look for the files in this new folder" (cos all the video files have the same names still).

regards

Firstly, how does the folder keep moving to different locations? Self-moving folders are still relatively rare!

Anyway, when you reopen the veg and files have been moved, Vegas gives you a choice of searching, or for you to specify the new location, if select the second option and tell it where the first missing file is now located, it will tell you that it has also found whatever other missing files are in the same location, and if you click "Yes to All" then it will import them all in one go.

Hope this helps.
