      NOTE

      RAW companion file archives

      When you add Black Magic RAW files to your project and then adjust the File Format properties, VEGAS Pro creates one or more companion files that store various pieces of information. If you move your BRAW files to a new file location without also moving these companion files, some of the adjustment information will be lost. For example, color adjustments you make with the File Format properties controls will be lost.

      To ensure that none of this information will be lost when you archive your projects, you can include these companion files in the archive file set.

   6. Select the Exclude unused media if you want to skip archiving unused media files. If you clear the check box, all project media will be archived.

3. Click the Finish button to create your project archive.
