  • Vegas Pro 9 problem with project media comments

    Posted by Jerry Smith on May 17, 2009 at 6:00 pm

    I use comments extensively in my videos to sort sport clips. I’ve got some Vegas Pro 8.0c projects that are heavily commented. When I open them in Vegas Pro 8.1 or 9, the comments are GONE. Is this a known bug?

    For full disclosure, I’m running on the release candidate for 64 bit Windows 7, so this could be a compatibility problem with it.

    I did some more checking on this:

    – With Vegas Pro 8 on Vista SP1 32 bits, the project media comments in my existing Vegas project file ARE visible.
    – With Vegas Pro 8.1 on Vista SP1 64 bits, they aren’t visible.
    – With Vegas Pro 8.1 and Vegas Pro 9 64 bits on Win7 RC 64 bits, they aren’t visible.

    This is with the same project file and on the same PC.

    It seems the variable is whether the operating system is 32 or 64 bits. I assume comments are embedded in the Vegas project file, so it’s odd that they aren’t consistently displayed.

    Sony folks have gotten to the bottom of this. The comments only are lost when you need to re-locate media. I hit this because I added a hard drive to my system and the drive letters were re-assigned, effectively moving my video clips. It can be worked around by using “disk management” to force the drive letters back to the ones used in the Vegas file references.
