How are media files and metadata filed, specifically relating to files that need to be moved to a different computer for output, for example?

0

Vegas Pro projects refer to media files by path and name. If the application cant use the original path to find the files it needs on the other computer, it looks for them with the same path relative to the project files location. So, if you keep you media in folder at or below the project file, they will always be found on the other computer when you move the whole folder. Vegas Pro stores metadata in the media file when possible, or in a .SFL file in the same folder as the media, and starting with the same name. You should move these along with the media when you transfer a project to another computer. Audio peaks (.SFK) and audio proxies (.SFAPn) will be rebuilt as needed, but can also be moved with the media.
