Thanks again for the contributions.
I have a question now about naming. If you shoot a bunch of footage of different things in one day that could possibly go into different areas of your film or doc (for me it’s a documentary), do you choose to name the files descriptively like, “people in park 01, people in park 02” or do you name the files by the date they are taken?
Thanks!

thank you

oh wow, Stephen thank you. I didn’t even think to look in the main project media folder. I just assumed that if I’d deleted it in the bin, it would be deleted from the project. I’ll have a look at that later tonight. I really hope that solves the problem.
Thanks so much!

Thanks for the reply Mike. I guess workflow is specific to each project and person then.
Do you know why Vegas continues to look for the media that I’ve deleted from my computer and media bins? I’d rather not have to remove all the unused media from my project in case I want to go back and change something down the road.

Awesome! Thanks so much 🙂

Hi everyone, I’m having a few problems transferring over my project.
– the first is, Sony Vegas seems to want me to pick a location for each file that’s not in the right place. I can’t just seem to pick a master folder.
– In the box where it asks you to either select the missing file or ignore it, sometimes the file name is so long that I can’t tell specifically what file it’s asking me to replace. I can’t seem to find a way for it to show the whole file name. It just displays as much as the screen will allow, and then it shows “…”. As a result, I don’t know what file it’s asking for.
– I’ve deleted some files that I decided I didn’t need anymore that I had originally added to a media bin. I deleted the files from the media bin and also from my computer itself. I also made sure there were no clips on my timeline that would refer to this file but now when I open Vegas, it says it can’t find the file, even though the file has been deleted from the media bins and there’s nothing on the timeline that would be referring to it.Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you everyone for all of your comments!
I currently have folders spread out on my computer that I’m working from. I’m imagining I need to transfer all the folders first to one master folder, then tell Vegas to look for the folders I moved to the master folder. Then, when I move the master folder to another hard drive, I can just tell Vegas to look for the project in the master folder which is now on the new hard drive. Is that correct?
Thanks!

Hi John,
thanks for responding. I’m not sure I understand completely what you’re saying. If I select only the left channel, won’t the audio only come out of the left side? My goal is to have the sound come from both the left and right side.Thanks!

Hi everyone,
thank you so much for your comments!I started to do what I had posted above, separate the tracks, put one as “left channel” and one as “right channel”. The audio showed up on one of the tracks and the other track was just a blank line. I right clicked on the blank track and clicked “swap” and it duplicated the track. For the most part it just sounded louder but I think it sounded a little fuller.
After doing this for a while I started to play with the other buttons and found that if I pushed “combine” on a track, it would turn the mono track into a stereo track so I went back and undid what I’d done and decided to use the “combine” feature instead. It was a lot faster for me to do it this way. So for every take with dialogue, I have two audio tracks, they are duplicates of each other, and both of them have “combine” selected as their channel. The sound seemed the same to me as when I was doing it the other way.
Can someone please tell me if this is a good way to deal with the situation? What I’m looking for is a track that is stereo, with a slighty fuller sound then the mono track by itself.
Thank you so much!
