HELP NEEDED

Tomorrow we'll be capturing a miniDV tape in a PC and We'll edit some of the

footage.

Then, I'll go back home and I would like to go on editing the same project

at the same point we ended. But in a different PC of course. It will be

impossible to copy the footage files to a portable firewire harddisk, but I

will have the miniDV tape instead. I'm not sure, but what I would do is to

save only the *.veg file in a diskette and then, at home, copy this veg file

to my PC and recapture all the footage. Will this preserve all the in-out

points, effects.... ??

What would be the best method? For example: if I just copy the veg file to

my PC, open VV, and open veg file. Then I will be prompt with a message

saying that no media was found. Then I will hit RECAPTURE all the footage.

Will VV capture all the footage we used when we edited in the other pc and

build the exactly timeline ?

Are there a better method to do this ?

What do I have to do in order go on editing at home with just the VEG file

and the footage file in a miniDV tape ?

Thanks !

Hi Robert,

You can simply capture the tape at the second location (home), and when loading the veg file, point Vegas to the new directory/folder.

Your program should be completly intact.

I suggest you backup the veg-file and email it to yourself, and make copies of all the source footage and ship to the new location.

(When shipping masters and edls and their backups, we regularly ship the backups separately to avoid total loss.)
