Vegas can't find clips when I open my saved project?

[Paty Punk]

I have this weird problems for some time already and lost lots of the stuff I was working on and I really want to get this problems fixed.

Anyways, When I work on a Video and save it, close vegas and then open it when I want to continue the Video, a box appears that tells me that vegas couldn't find my clips (even though they are still in the same folder and nothing changed there). Now when I close that box, it shows me still my timeline and I see where I set cuts and FX and all the stuff I edited, but the clips are just replaced..with "black nothing"..

I hope anyone can help.

First question is - in what codec are you rendering your file?

Second question - could you please quote full message here?

Thrird question - what codec you using for your footage?

That doesn't matter in this case, since it doesn't have anything to do with the rendering. The clips are all black right in the program after opening it.

Second question - could you please quote full message here?

I'm currently not on my computer, so I can't quote the full message, sorry, but I think it said something about "video stream not found"...

Thrird question - what codec you using for your footage?

I'm editing with Xvid footage (FourCC changed to DIVX so they work in vegas). My computer has extremly low space, so there is no way I could edit with a losless codec.

I don't even use vegas and I can answer this...

DV (this format will introduce some slight quality loss into your video, and also has some restrictions on resolution and framerate)
M-JPEG (depending on the quality level you set, it can be large, and can introduce slight to significant quality loss, however it is very fast)
AVISynth (doesn't involve making a large file, but can be slow and is not supported well by all editing software)

I've just tried that with Kev's (im on his comp) hellsing Ultimate OVA's, but vdubbmod gives an error:

Error getting compressor output frame size

M-JPEG (depending on the quality level you set, it can be large, and can introduce slight to significant quality loss, however it is very fast)

I can't find this one anywhere in the avaiable codecs...

AVISynth (doesn't involve making a large file, but can be slow and is not supported well by all editing software)

From what I know is, that vegas doesn't support avisynth..

Then buy a new HDD. In fact,I've noticed that using XviD/DivX files is even slower,than editing with lossless files. And there's no other way around it. I've bought a new HDD,because I couldn't take editing with XviD/DivX anymore.

.. alright-alright, enough already .. hehe . geez . òó .

.. there are plenty of ways around low Hard Drive space including what I do; which is, Edit what I need and save it as .VOB files "on a blank DVD R/W" and then combine everything from "those DVD's" later.

.. Hard Drive Space is not that expensive at 38¢ a gig. ( based on a 330gig WD HD )

.. just about any Video Editing System out today can handle DVD RIPPED inputs. They are quite a bit smaller than Huffy Codec's and merge together quite well in Editing Systems

.. Hard Drive Space is not at a premium these days, so save yourself a lot of head ache's and use some common sense. You didn't make it out of Jr. High and into Sr. High because the teachers liked you -- you got there because you could Solve Problems On Your Own.
