Vegas looking at wrong drive after backup
After saving a project and associated MXF files to an external drive, I am trying to return to the project on the editing workstation, but Vegas keeps looking at the external drive for the video files. I can obviously have it search each file, but that is quite time consuming…
I must be overlooking a simple way to tell Vegas to stop looking at the K drive….Any ideas ? -

It’s going to do that because that’s the file pathway. You’ll have to redirect it for all the files, yes, but that should solve it.

…and thats where Im feeling a bit obtuse….I looked at properties and preferences and cannot find a way to redirect back to the C drive where the original mxf’s are stored…..how do I accomplish that ?

When you first load the veg file, it should give you a message that went something like “can’t find filename*.*. What would you like me to do?”.
It then gives you several options, one of which is “I’ll tell you were to look”.
Choose this one, browse to the new location and click on it.
If more files are in this same location, it will load those automatically, otherwise you’ll have to load them one at a time.Once this is done, remember to save it under a new name.

Ive tried this option…..I get “specify a new location or replacement file”….when I go beyond this point, even down to the actual folder where the files are located, it continues to ask for a specific file name in the top dialog box….without entering something in this box, nothing more will happen…..I cant simply redirect to the overall p2 folders where I store my rough footage, or the C drive instead of the K (the external drive I backed up on)….Im stumped…

I use the Offline media resolver feature of Peachrock Veggie Toolkit,
set to automatic, to make this process easier, if in this
situation.Steve Rhoden
