Vegas 7: huge project filesize

timo.heil wrote on 9/17/2006, 1:56 PM

Converted a VV3 project to Vegas7. Before the project filesize was about 300k, now the *.veg is bigger than 500MB!!! This doesn't make any sense. Could it be there is anything else stored besides meta data? Does it store some audio??? Checked preferences bt cannot find anything.

Please help.

That is wierd.

I would rename it and save it as Vegas 7 veg and see what you get.

500MB!??!?! - I've never seen a .veg go beyond a few MB, and that was a LOT of gen media, compositing, filters etc...

I checked my converted vegs. No differences here.

Could be a file crosslinked with something else. May do a disk check utility to make sure the drive is ok.

Did you load accidently the origial veg file into your media pool-manager? John

It's also possible that VV3 veg files were not tested, since 4 versions back. Could be a Sony problem. If your disk drives check out OK, and the veg file says 500MB from within file manager, you should report it to Sony to investigate.

thank you all for you replies.

I solved the problem by opening a blank file in V7 and copy&pasting all tracks + markers to it. Now it's below 200k and everything works fine.

BTW: I zipped the 500MB file and it's size was reduced to approx. 300k, so I suppose it must be some sort of rubbish data stored in it. Probably a compatibility bug between V3 and V7.
