Nesting refresh
VP 10c
Nesting question.
I have started to use nesting and it really is a fantastic facility..
However I have one issue – I have two copies of VP 10 open – the nested project and the bigger main project with the nested project on the timeline.
I understood that if I made changes in the nested project then if I ‘refreshed’ the main project the changes made in the nested project should show up automatically in the main project. (BTW – for me, ‘refresh’ means delete and re-add, I am sure there must be a cleaner way)
My question is how do I tell the main project – short of exiting and re-starting – to read the refreshed/updated version of the nested project?
Thanks

The way I do it is to open my main project, right-click the veg file I want to edit, work on it, save it, go back to may main project and it’s already updated.

Mike,
Unfortunately this is not how it works for me. I have to delete the nested project from the timeline, then re-add it and the changes are visible. very annoying when tracks are lined up…
I have tried this on several different examples and it always happens.
My machine is XP Pro, SP3, and I am using the 23 bit version. I also tried it with 10d…

Stewart, if you had both open at the same time, I believe that’s why you’re running into problems.
Only have the primary project open to start with.
If you need to edit a nested veg in it, then do the ‘right click and open’ thing, make your changes, save it, close it and go back to your primary project.
That’s the way I do it and it always works for me. -
Make sure that in “tools->preferences->general->close media files when not the active application” is tick.

That was it – thanks – I had it unset as I move between a number of apps on the PC.. I may leave this as it is – but at least I know why this was happening
Thank you.
