And even if they were (for example) on drive C originally and are now on
drive D, once you load the veg file, it'll say something like "can't find
file image.jpg - specify another location?" Once you point it to the new
location, as long as the other files are in the same place, it'll
automatically "find" them as well. Save the veg file under a new name and
you're all set.
BTW, I've been using Vegas since it was an audio-only app at version 1.0 and
continue to be impressed with it :-)
