transfer working files from desktop to notebook for portable editing.
I sometimes wish to work mobile. I’ve saved desktop files to an external hard drive, then tried to access those files on my notebook computer, without success. The data remains offline. The files appear in the tracks, but they’re empty. How do I transfer data between computers?

What you need to do is to have all of your project files all in one folder and not scattered from many sources. Then all you have to do is copy that file to whatever system you are working on and you will not have a problem. Vegas may prompt you for the location of files but it will tell you where it recorded the file to be so all you have to do is navigate to that location and select the file. Any other media from that folder will also be found.
Your media is offline most likely because Vegas does not know where to find the source files. If you strive to keep all of your folders in a clear concise format you will save yourself a lot of headaches later on. You can always use the Save media with project option but all that does is copy all of your media into one location and you will lose any folder structure you may have. It is not a good function to use. Hope this helps.

Thank you very much Joe. I did find the archive post instructing use of the “Save media with project” option, and I did that with success, but your advice caught it in time — before I had moved a lot of files that way, and got myself into even deeper trouble. Much appreciated.
