Project references in rendered media files
When your project uses media that was rendered with an embedded project path reference, you can easily open the source project in the associated application if you need to edit the media later. ACID 5.0, Sound Forge 8.0, and Vegas 6.0 software allow you to save the project path reference when you render files.
For example, imagine that you have an audio file on the Vegas timeline that was rendered from an ACID project. In previewing your Vegas project, you discover that you’d accidentally rendered your ACID project with a critical track muted. You could simply
from the shortcut menu to reopen your ACID project, unmute the track, and then rerender it.
The project information in the rendered file is a reference to a project file only. If you modify the project file after rendering, the project data will no longer match the rendered file. To edit a project using a path reference, the project file and all media must be available on your computer.
Tip: For more information on saving project path references in rendered files, see Rendering a project on page 307.
