Keeping VEG files - deleting video

Thanks. Thats just what I needed. I'm only doing 30-60 second spots so it should fit on a dvd.

But there ARE some disadvantages to this "Save with trimmed media" method:

1) you can't get back the "unused" sections without a recapture anyway.

2) The audio is separated from the video - they will be in two separate files!

3) Not ALL media types will be trimmed.

"The audio is separated from the video - they will be in two separate files!"

Does this matter if all the 'trimmed' materal is stored in the same folder?

"Not ALL media types will be trimmed"

What media will not be trimmed, and will it still be moved to the designated folder?

It does if you expect to be able to drag the AVI file to the timeline and get both audio and video.

Formats like MPEG. DV-AVI will trim fine but many other formats will not. You could test it out with the formats you're likely to use. I don't know of an actual list anywhere.

Edward- where's the default save location for the "sfvidcap" file?
