Locked veg file
I recently lost my editing drive. I had everything backed up but the 7 mini dv tapes I just captured. I have a new drive ordered but am trying to piece this project together creating avi files on my C: drive. The problem is I saved the project and when I returned to reopen the project, the files (greyed out) are missing due to the veg files being locked. I never seen this before. Can anyone enlighten me on what happened? The vef file icon (in weindows explorer) has a lock on the lower left side. Sony Vegas 9 Pro Windows 7

A lock might mean that the file has been marked as “Read Only”. Just go to the file properties in windows explorer and change it.

The file is not marked as read only and under the security tab in the explorer, I have full permission to do whatever I want with the file but when I open it in Vegas, all the work that I had done shows up as greyed out sections. Nothing else in my explorer is locked. I thought this might me something in Vegas that is causing this.
Thanks for the reply,

I don’t think I follow what’s going on here. You said all your work shows up as grayed out. Can you upload a screenshot? Are you sure this isn’t caused by missing files from the hard drive crash?

The veg files I created were on my system “C” drive and not the bad drive. I scoured the web before posting trying to find out how to correct this. Everything I found was in reference to setting up permissions in Windows Explorer. I have everything open so anyone can access and change add to or delete any files on all my drives. It is just my wife and myself using a home office computer. I had no previous problems and everything else in Explorer works fine so I was thinking this is a Sony Vegas specific problem but it is not. This morning I reinstalled the bad drive and to my surprise it was recognized but some of the files and folders were corrupt. The Veg files I had created on this questionable drive were missing as were some other files as well. I copied all the information that I needed to an external drive and am working with the files and saving them as I go. I am able to save the Veg files on this drive and they do not lock as they did when I was saving them on the “C” drive. Must be something to do with it being the system drive. I have no doubt that this drive is going South and what little I am doing on it I am saving often to my external drive. Just wanted to give an update on this.
