    I have been saving my Vegas project all along, but I was always able to get to what I had been working on because it showed up as soon as I turned on Vegas. Now I’ve begun a new project, and I can’t find the first one anywhere. All I can find is a folder with media files in it! Please help. I am nervous that maybe I’ve lost my project. Thanks.

    Try to save the current project and see where it is trying to save it. Then look there for your previous project. Alternate: do a search for the name of your previous projec

    It says that my projects are being saved in a folder that Vegas automatically created when I installed it. However, I have saved several projects in there since then, but only the first one shows up. Even then, the file of the one that exists has nothing in it. Should Vegas be saving them into Vegas format so all I have to do is click the link and the project opens up in Vegas? If so, that’s not what it’s doing.

    You don’t say what Vegas program you are using but either way the answer is – yes. If Vegas Pro it should be save d as a .veg file. If a Studio version it woulod save as a .vf file. If you have not changed the default folder they should be saved in there. However if you did not change the name of each file as you saved them each time you saved it would overwrite the previous file. Where does the program say that it will save the project?

    Thanks! I got it resolved. It was saved in a folder with the same name in some program settings folder. The same folder name had me confused because I thought it was in one when it was in a completely other folder with the same name, somewhere obscure on my computer, and it wouldn’t show up in search. But I found it. Thanks for the help.
