Can you render a NEW TEST VEG using a 10 second Media?

“to enable loading onto another project on a new PC?”
Yes this is possible, Just make sure you create a folder and save your project in this folder and when
you are saving your Vegas project, make sure at the bottom of the screen you select “Copy media with project”.

Glad to help my friend….
But remember, for it to open on another system, the same version of Vegas has to be used, or a newer version.

hi steve,
getting there thanks to your good self!
I copied the files onto a flash drive, copied those from the flash to the new host computer then imported the media into Vegas 14 which I’ve just purchased. The 2 track resulting file seems to have rendered itself during the import process as the images are steady and so far -too tired tonight to watch all- rock solid.
What is confusing me is that I expected the import would give me all the original tracks separately instead of just a 2 track master – the reason for this is that there are just a couple of minor points that I’d like to have altered on the timeline of the original project. Have I done something wrong or is this how the programme is set up – I could go back to the original Vegas 12 file and do the amendments its just I was expecting 6/7 tracks which could still be edited? Am I right in assuming this process renders automatically?
Sorry to trouble you again but your help is invaluable.
best wishes

You appear to be doing it wrong. You should open the veg file with Vegas 14, not open a new project in 14 then import?

Hi Eric
Please bear with me but I’m in really uncharted waters for my level of experience.
Should I be copy the veg file currently on my old computer (vegas 12) located in the ‘ready to open list- ignoring the tick box include all media – onto a stick then transfer and open on new computer into vegas 14 ? Will this loads all the tracks film, audio, titles and such media so I can still edit?
Alternatively should I copy the file from ‘documents sony’ where the file is stored on the C drive? I’m sorry but having such a lot of trouble achieving this and am desperate to sort it. Help would is sorely needed.
look forward to hearing from you
Brian L.

Hi Brian,

Just do what Steve suggested.
1. open your project on your old PC, old Vegas.
2. do a “save as” to an external drive, but also check “copy media with project”.
That will save your project file, and also copies all the footages to the folder on the external drive you pointed to save to…
Assume, E: is the external drive, and “myproject” is the folder you created on it and save to it.
Depending on the filesizes this can take a while.
Than you’ll have a veg file in E:\myproject, and all sorts of media you used in that project.
3. You can shut down your old PC, detach the external drive, and take it to the new PC.
Just copy E:\myproject folder to any location on your new PC, say for example into D:\Videos\.
After that you’ll have everything you need for that project in D:\Videos\myproject.
Just open D:\Videos\myproject\anyvegfile.veg with Vegas14 on your new PC.
Everything should be fine and working, except some 3rd party effects, which you may have installed on your old PC, but not on the new.
When you save that project on the new PC, you’ll get a warning for the first time, that the project is from an earlier version. You can safely overwrite if you don’t plan to go back to V12, otherwise better save to another filename.
Project files saved with Vegas 14 won’t open in earlier versions.
