SVP 12 (Build 670) – Corrupt .veg file???
This is probably one of the weirdest (most frustrating) issues I’ve run up against with SVP to date. Here’s the scenario….
Editing a/v is strictly a hobby and I don’t consider myself a pro on any level. I’ve been working on a video project over the last couple of years and I’m actually getting ready to finish it up this week. This project has no less than 500+ AVI clips that I’ve used, along with some music. This is where the crap hit the fan…
I went to open the file tonight from the recently opened files list, and it said there was an ‘error’ and it could not open it. So, I went to the exact location of the .veg file and opened it. It ‘hung’ for a bit, but then said that “…av1 clip 001” could not be found. Now, stuff like this has happened before (like if I rearrange some files and organize some things), but THIS TIME it didn’t give me the option to search for it — it just asked if & what file I’d like to use as a replacement! And not only that, it did that for each and EVERY AVI CLIP that was in the project — over 500 clips!! As you know, usually if something’s missing I’ll search for it, then it’ll say that it found other clips in that same location, and then I can choose the option to just use that same location, etc. ANYWAY, before I went through that LONG process, I updated everything, re-started, etc….but with no success. I finally ended up going thru and pointing/clicking at each and every missing file.
SO, I have 2 questions.
1.) How do I use a .bak file?
2.) WTH happened!?!? And why didn’t SVP give me the option to use that folder location for the rest of the missing files????Thank you!!
