You also have an interesting option to automatically Save on each and every editing step that you take. It is called LIVE SAVE. You access it by going to TOOLS | ADVANCED SAVE… Then Select LIVE SAVE. If your project happens to freeze or have a problem, you now have the very last step saved (without having to use Control S or any other method of saving). To turn it OFF, just uncheck the box (for working with templates, etc.) There are several ways to Save, but I found this to be the best in case of emergency shutdowns, etc. Just go to the VEG folder and restart VEGAS Pro to the very latest step that you took.
