Importing clips into Vegas

[Dave Tyrer]

How do I import all the EX3 clips from an SDHC card into Vegas? They are all in seperate folders.

Thanks

[Marlon Martins]

right click on root folder > search

put *.mp4 and mark "advanced options > search subfolders"

it will list all files. then is just drag to timeline.

or move to another folder, and drag after to vegas.

Thanks Marlon

Really weird way of doing it...I thought Vegas would be able to search folders.

Are you talking VP 9.0? If so, use Device Explorer - it will detect any device (or even a folder on the local HDD) with a valid BPAV structure, display all the thumbnails, and let you import the clips one by one, or all at once.

I'm sure I tried that but will try again this evening. I'm using Windows 7...I don't know whether that will make a difference.

Unfortunately it will only do one folder at a time from the HDD

It will do one BPAV folder at a time, yes - but with unlimited number of clip subfolders in it, without the need to open each one of them manually. Of course, it needs to be a valid BPAV structure (e.g. copied with ClipBrowser).
