hello,

are there any issues with collect all and save if you have videos and devices from videosync in a project? I noticed one issue where the devices didn’t work after collect all and saving a project, closing it then reopening it.

thanks

Hi there,

As far as I know, there should be no issues with devices that are used after collect all and save. However, there isn’t really a reason to use collect all and save and collect the plugins from the User Library, as you’ll then be working with copies of the original Videosync plugins.

There is more information about cleaning up Sets containing different plugin versions and file locations here:
