migrating templates help needed

Hi,
I've searched for answers to this because I'm sure it's been covered but alas searching for "templates" in the subject field yields no results. But I digress.
We recently upgraded from Vegas 8 to Vegas 9. Are there suggested techniques for migrating project properties and file render templates to Vegas 9?
Thanks for your help,
Jesse Olley

I have found the old Vegas 8 render templates seem to live here:
C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Sony\File Templates
But how do I get them to show up in Vegas 9 and where are the project templates?
Thanks,
Jesse

This is the non-answer from tech support:


Hi Jesse,

Thank you for contacting Sony Creative Software. You can make your customized rendering templates available on another computer or user account by copying .sft2 files to the appropriate location in the new account or computer.

Rendering templates are stored in the following folders:

C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Sony\Render Templates\<plug-in name> in Windows XP.
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Sony\Render Templates\<plug-in name> in Windows Vista or Windows 7.
(The Application Data/AppData folder is not visible unless the Show hidden files and folders radio button is selected on the View tab of the Windows Folder Options control panel.)

--TIP: You can find a plug-in's name by clicking the About button in the Render As dialog.

To make a template available on another computer or user account, copy the .sft2 file to the same location in another account. For example, to make JSmith's custom wave template available for the AJones user account, copy the appropriate .sft2 file from this folder:

C:\Documents and Settings\JSmith\Application Data\Sony\Render Templates\wave
to this folder:

C:\Documents and Settings\AJones\Application Data\Sony\Render Templates\wave
If you're copying templates from an older Sony Creative Software application, templates are saved as .sft files in the following folder: C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Sony\File Templates\<plug-in name>\<plug-in GUID>.

If you still have a follow-up question on this particular incident, please feel free to update it. If you have a completely different question, please create a new incident.
