    I come from a Liquid Silver background and ask how Vegas handles it’s render files.

    Silver does this beautifully in the background and only updates those required, deleting unrequired ones when necessary. Vegas with it’s real-time capabilty obviously doesn’t need this but what does it do about render file ‘housekeeping’

    Is it all manual? I seem to have a lot of unrequired render files in the relevant directory at present so do I have delete these with the ‘cleanup render files’ tools regularly.

    Whatever it does it’s got to be more efficient than FCP.

    Thanks Alan

    Hmmm, I take back what I said about FCP now.

    After trying to transfer a self contained project from one drive to another, including the render files, I can’t find a way to induce Vegas into relinking and using the renders.

    Am I expecting too much from Vegas do you think? Is it’s use of prerenders a bit flaky or should I be using them another way, like adding them to a render track via the ‘render to new track’ command.

    I’d like to get these issues sorted as I’ve an SD uncompressed project coming up in the near future, and being a newbie to Vegas I need to decide whether to use it or something else to cut it on.

    Thanks for any advice,

    Alan

    Tell us more about how you are trying to use “prerendered files”.
