Sorry for the newbie questions, I just want to be able to get it right before I start on potentinally dozens of projects this way.

1. The .veg file only saves the information such as where the source video is, where it was trimmed, the title plates, and so on, correct?

2. Is there a way to save where it automatically adds a timestamp in the file name?

3. Because there are two people working on the project (me and my boss), if we had both hard drives set on a drive, and wanted to easily work between the two, would the best solution be to do a full copy of the directory to his drive, and then all we would have to do is pass back and forth say a flash drive with the .veg file? which relates back to question 1.

4. Would you think it would be more efficient to host the .veg file on an ftp server, therefore if there are any changes, when it’s reuploaded, we both would have the exact copy?

Thanks for the input guys.

Thanks for the tip.

Yeah, I wish there was a more direct option for using multiple locations, however, the method makes sense and should work.

I was able to copy the project over the other day and managed it to work out fine.

Thanks for all the help guys.

Hi

I’m not to sure about the envelope velocity (I hope someone can answer your question there)

however, what I usually do to make a still frame is to:

1. Go to the frame which you want to make the still frame.
2. Set your preview quality to Best(Full)
3. Click the Save button next to the preview video
4. Then import the still frame

another way, and I’m not sure if this is the best, but it’s quick and dirty…

1. Go to the particular frame
2. Use S to split the event, and cut a very tiny frame and then just stretch it out.

This works for me when I want to extend out the end of a frame just a bit longer as a still image.

Again, I’m not sure if this is the best way, as I’d think the first example would be better overall, but it’s quick.

Hope that helps.

Thanks

I’m trying to avoid having to redirect it if possible.

I was thinking doing a Save As and then copying the media with it, however my main fear overall is that when I go to switch between the two hard drives, if one of them was neglected to get updated, I would have multiple copies of the same files that have been edited at various points.

Would changing the home external hard drive to J: also fix the problem?

If I were to copy the folder (so in instance copy the newest cut), paste it and allow it to save over the older copy at the drive at home, and since it would also be a J: drive, would it be able to load up without searching?

Thanks guys.
