Where are custom rendering templates stored?

Posted by Frederic Baumann on September 4, 2010 at 9:59 am

Hi,

I am trying to locate where all my custom rendering templates are stored by Sony Vegas Platinum HD 10 (I have to uninstall/reinstall Vegas, I would like to loose my settings. Also, I think it might be useful anytime one gets a new PC for instance).

I made a full search on my hard disk (looking for files with a name containing the name of one of my templates) -> no match

I also made a search in the registry (looking for keys/values containing the name of one of my templates) -> no match

Would you have any hints?
Thanks in advance,
Frédéric

I can only speak for the location for Vegas Pro templates but it might give you an idea as to where to look.

XP Pro:
C:\Documents and Settings\\Application Data\Sony\Render Templates

Vista:
appdata\roaming\sony\file templates\mp4plug2\{13AF76D5-5AD4-45CB-A47D-22D418C5B161}

Keep in mind that that the Vista template appears to be specific to the mp4 template but at least it’s a start.

That’s great! Thank you very much.

In my case, I have several subdirs into “Render Templates”, presumably one per big rendering family (avc-mc, avi), plus one “Last Used”.

I can see now that I did not check the hidden option “look in hidden folders” when I did the Windows search… that’s the reason why it didn’t appear.

Anyway, Many thanks again!!

Vegas 13 to a new Vegas 13 install:

I tried this and it does pull all templates however it doesn’t star favorites.

Looking closer there are near dupes in my favorites.settings file.

I recreated my stars and now have this:

Something amiss like some stars got lost in the settings file and then cause a problem moving over to the new install. I had to recreate manually but would have been nice to transfer it seamlessly. Maybe the favorites.settings file needs a sanity check against whats in the app to sync up occasionally?
