  • Importing ALL R3D media without going through individual folders.

    Is there any way to import ALL R3D media into Vegas Pro 12 without going through each individual folder and sub-folder etc? It’s taking me 10-20 minutes to import my footage this way.

    Thanks,

    Will.

    Import it from where or from what?
    Be more specific.

    R3D Files from my hardrive, or any hardrive for that matter. Open Vegas; Import Media; find the folders. When you shoot on the Epic, each mag that you shoot has it’s own folder (eg A001), which in turn has another folder for each clip (eg A001 C001) – the R3d files that I want to import are in these sub-folders. I’m wondering if I can import all media from A001 without having to go into each sub-folder C001 – import R3D – back – C002 – import R3D – back – C003 – import R3D – back – C004 – import R3D – back etc etc. (I could have 100 clips in one mag alone).

    Everybody has a different workflow, and what works for one may not be best for another. I think it depends on how you do your file organization. When I work, I place all my original video footage in one subfolder of my project. When it is time to import I just highlight one clip in the folder, hit CTRL+A, and that brings all the clips in at one time.

    However my projects are very basic, so those that have different scenes, or shoot multi-cam, my way probably will not fit their workflow.

    You can use Windows Search (in Windows Explorer press Win+F3) to find all *.R3D files in the root folder and all its subfolders. Then select all the results and drag them to the Project Media window.
