When capturing video, the files always go to the "documents" folder. I'd like the files to go to an external hard drive. Is there a way I can set up Vegas to place captured files automatically in the external hard drive? Thanks in advance for all replies.

File > capture video > Options > Preferences > Disk Management

Keep in mind that VidCap defaults to the last used folder so, if you're starting a new project and have a capture folder in the folder for that project, you'll need to change the path to the new folder location.
