    Is it possible to use C# and the SDK to re-write a Vegas (.veg) file?

    Given:
    – SwimMeet.veg
    – Nested1.veg
    – Nested2.veg
    – Nested3.veg

    reside in:
    – D:\Projects\SwimMeet2009

    and all their media reside in:
    – D:\Projects\SwimMeet2009\Media

    Would like to move everything such that the Vegas files are:
    – G:\Projects\SwimMeet2009_no1

    and the media are:
    – G:\Projects\SwimMeet2009_no1\Media

    Thus, the paths to the media need to be changed and the master project needs to include Nested*.veg using the new path as well.

    I scanned over the Vegas 8 SDK API and didn’t see anything that would allow me to do this. The Media class has a FullPath property but it looks it is read only (Get).

    Thanks in advance.

    OK, this Viewer is stupid; it stripped out the backslashes that were visible in Preview mode. The paths should be (spaces are where the backslash should be):

    old:
    D: Projects SwimMeet2009
    D: Projects SwimMeet2009 Media

    new:
    G: Projects SwimMeet2009_no1
    G: Projects SwimMeet2009_no1 Media

    Just move the files. Then open the project. Vegas will then not be able to find the files and ask where they are. Then simply point Vegas to the new location and you’re done.

    Yes, I know this. But you have to do this for all files, nested (child), grandchild, etc. I’d like to automate this so that I can run a process on the parent project and everything is done at once.
