Hello,

I have multiple Vegas projects, many of which refer to the same media files (for example, one sound effect that is used in multiple projects). I need to deliver my Vegas projects for off-site production work, packaged with all the media used in them. Now.. if I load the projects one by one, then Save As.. with "copy media with project", I get the expected error message:

"Warning: An error occurred while saving the project file .
A file had to be renamed during the operation.

Media file xxxx.xxx was renamed to xxxx - 4.xxx to avoid destroying existing file."

... but the existing file is actually the very same file as the one being renamed, so I get multiple, redundant copies of the media files, which can get problematic if the source files are large.

I was wondering if anyone has made, or if it's even possible to create a script that would allow you to:

1) Add multiple Vegas projects to a list
2) Create a combined media pool for them
3) Save all projects to a specified folder
4) Save all their media to a specified folder under the project folder (without redundant duplicates)
5) Specify whether to copy *all* media, or just the *used* media
6) If there are embedded Vegas projects, would either render a single copy that is used, or ensure that all media used in the embedded project are also included

I presume that step 4) would require that Vegas could use relative paths to media. Will this be supported in a future version? (Or is it already supported?)

Thank you for taking time to read this message. :)
