    When I got started on Vegas several months ago, I innocently created a set of folders at the same level like:

    Vegas, Vegas_Capture, Vegas_Audio, Vegas_Clips

    What I now wnat is:

    Vegas (really just the veg and related files)
    Vegas_Capture, Vegas_Audio, Vegas_Clips

    In other words, the Vegas folder one level about the other three. That's easy enough to do it in Win XP, but it seems to me that I will disturb many of the internal Vegas links to files within these folders, which will then require me to re-link them. To make matters worse, I have at other levels folders like General_Audio, all completely outside the above folders. General_Audio contains some material I use in my veg files. I may want to move it somewhere else, as well.

    Any ideas on how to do this with minimal effort?

    Solarblast;

    What I have done with my files be it audio or video is place them in specificaly named folders that will reflect the project name, IE - (Hawaii 2006 would be the root folder) any other related video to Hawaii would then be placed into subfolders of Hawaii 2006, IE (Aquarium, Diamond head, Beach Scenes) all of these would be sub folders. Even the audio I choose is placed into a subfolder of Hawaii 2006. Now your question was, how do you get the files back into a Vegas Project after they have been moved?. When you open a project that has files that you moved, you will have to use the (search for new location of files) when you are prompted to do so. Once you find the first file Vegas is looking for all of the rest will automatically be re-inserted into the Media Pool. Is it wise to keep all of the media files for a project in one main folder for this very reason. You can even back these files up to another external drive for storage to be used later for re-editing.

    hope this helps.

    Thanks. I'll give it a try. I hope the 'automatically re-inserted' part works. I probably have 40 files in the project in about 3 different folders.
