Where do you find the saved projects?

Post by daddog »

I remember back in VS11 I had to ask the same question, but don't remember the answer. When you are on the final step and burn a VS disk it 'saves' it. Where do you find them so you don't have to go through the whole process again to setup a disk to burn?

Thanks in advance. :)

That is so, but if you are talking about the automatic 'save' when you close the burning module, I am afraid no one here knows what is saved, much less where it is saved to. And we have never known with all previous versions of VS...

But if, on the other hand, you close the burning module, having burned your disc, with menu etc, then you have to manually save it again (File > Save/SaveAS) and it will save everything, Moreover, it will be stored in your designated working folder, which you will find under Preferences > General.

If there is even the slightest chance that you will want to burn more than one disc it is best to 'Create DVD Folders' at the final burn stage - then whenever you want an additional disc you just burn those folders to a blank disc - you don't even need to open VideoStudio to do that - ANY DVD creation/copying programme will do that.

My workflow when in the create disc module is to un-check the burn to disc and check 'create DVD folders' - then come out of VideoStudio and burn those folders to as many DVDs as I need - I actually use Roxio to burn the folders which I like because whenever you put a blank disc into your burner it puts an icon of a disc on your desktop - then you just drag and drop files from explorer onto that icon and it burns perfect discs.

But if you did not create DVD folders (or an ISO file) then the actual disc image is not saved anywhere - but if you did as Ken suggests and saved your project AFTER closing your burn module then you should be able to just re-open the .vsp and go to the create disc window and VideoStudio will burn more discs quite quickly.

To answer your question as written - where to find saved projects - your projects are saved in a working folder which YOU specify when working on the project - can be a different location for each project - look in 'Preferences' for the location of your current working folder.
