Smart Package Question....

Post by DayO »

Can .VSP projects that've been Smart Packaged to another drive be safely deleted?

Yes - once packaged they are a completely isolated entity and if you are sure you do not want to use it again then you can delete it - just remember any changes you made to the packaged .vsp are not transferred back to the original drive.

... and bear in mind that the project file (.vsp) does NOT contain any video itself. So just deleting the vsp file from the original location will not delete the video clips included in the project. That would have to be done manually in addition to deleting the vsp file.
