Sounds like Vegas might be corrupted. Try reinstalling it first and if that doesn’t work, what error/warning messages are you getting when you can’t import media? Remember, you have to use the import feature, there is no other way to open media in Vegas.

Hi John, thanks for the reply.

I’m not continuing to work on a project moved to another drive- I’m just trying to back up a project and all of its files so that in the event that the original drive fails, I’ll be able to continue where I left off on the other drive. Because the copy of the project still wants to point to the original files and not the ones nested in its own folder on the second drive, if anything happens to the original project on the first drive, the project on the second drive can’t find the files it needs and won’t open.

Do you know of a better way to make backups? I guess I don’t understand how I’m supposed to do it, hence my confusion.

I, too, and frustrated by this feature of Sony Vegas Movie Studio.

When I copy a folder, all of the files in that folder get the drive letter of the hard disk I copied them to- so why do they continue to reference the original folder where the non-copy was created?

It’s truly maddening. Is there a way to tell Sony to IGNORE what drive letter a file was saved under? It would make my life heaps easier.
