Question: NEsting and building large projects

Ok, I have a question for those of you who do nested projects. Because nearly all of my work is long form single recording, I've really not had a need to nest. I just finished a big project and I think nesting would have made my life MUCH easier, so let me lay out a scenario and ask a question.

Let's assume I am making a movie with 30 scenes. I create one .veg per scene. I create 3 .veg files for Act1 (scene 1 - 9), Act2 (scene 10-19), and Act3 (scene 20-30). And then I create a master .veg file comprised of just the 3 acts.

My question is this:

If I make a change to say, scene 3, scene 15, and scene 22, and I then open up my master .veg file, will those changes automatically flow up, or do I need to open each of the "act" .veg files to register those changes?

Perrone, I was pretty sure they would but I ran a quick test to be sure and yes, they will automatically update the next time you open your master veg file.

Yes.

I use nested veg files all the time. Nested projects are terrific for manipulating very complex sequences as an assembly.
