Architect theme into sony vegas

	Architect theme into sony vegas by Pat Bailey on Nov 9, 2009 at 3:13:09 pm Want to use a theme graphic (one of the wedding ones) from sony architect in sony vegas as my opening video so they match up. I have opened up the folder in sony architect, last folder is themes after that it is a THM file which opens in dvd architect 4.5 There is no way to "explore" it. so I need to know how to change this THM file so it will work in sony vegas.

	Re: Architect theme into sony vegas by Mike Kujbida on Nov 9, 2009 at 3:28:03 pm If this is DVD Architect Pro you're talking about, you may not be aware that it's a free upgrade to DVDA Pro 5.0. To answer your question, you need to browse to the folder where the themed images are kept and C:\Program Files\Sony\DVD Architect Pro 4.5\themes is not the place to be looking. Instead, try C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\Application Data\Sony\DVD Architect Pro\5.0\Themes Once inside this folder, open up the one you want, copy the desired image to your Vegas project folder and import it into your project.

	Re: Architect theme into sony vegas by Pat Bailey on Nov 9, 2009 at 5:35:14 pm Hi This is DVD Architect Pro 4.5 not 5.0 as I have sony vegas pro 8. I have searched where you suggested but there is nothing there I can only get these THM files. I have also done a computer search but to no avail. These THM files wont open either in sony vegas nor in photoshop elements 6 Can you help further Thank you Pat Respond to this post   •   Return to posts index

	Re: Architect theme into sony vegas by Mike Kujbida on Nov 9, 2009 at 7:29:18 pm I just checked another computer with DVDA Pro 4.5 and, with the exception of the folder name change, the Theme folders are in the exact same location. This is with XP Pro. If you're running Vista, I believe the locations are very different. Try doing a search of Drive C for a folder called Wedding1.thm and the image files should be in there. It may be in more than one location so make sure you let it search the entire drive. Respond to this post   •   Return to posts index

	Re: Architect theme into sony vegas by Mike Kujbida on Nov 9, 2009 at 10:26:23 pm You don't/can't open *.thm files. What I've been trying to get you to do is to find the folder named wedding1.thm (or whatever it's called) , open it and find the specific image you want.

	Re: Architect theme into sony vegas by Mike Kujbida on Nov 10, 2009 at 12:09:16 pm Pat, the images inside of any Theme folder are in JPEG or PNG format ready to be dropped on a Vegas timeline. Respond to this post   •   Return to posts index

	Re: Architect theme into sony vegas by Mike Kujbida on Nov 10, 2009 at 4:30:19 pm Pat, If you're a Vista user, see if this helps you to find the proper folder. Make sure you unhide all folders. Go to Control Panel/FolderOptions/Views> Select "show hidden folders and files" and then click OK. Next, go to C:\Users\Your Computer Name\AppData\Roaming\Sony\DVD Architect Pro\4.5\Themes Respond to this post   •   Return to posts index

	Re: Architect theme into sony vegas by Terry Esslinger on Nov 12, 2009 at 6:25:56 pm Glad you were able to get it going but to confirm Mikes way I: With Vista follow his path and you will get to the .thm folders then open the folder you want and the .jpg or .png graphic will be there for the taking. I have both 4.5 and 5.0 and its the same in both. Respond to this post   •   Return to posts index
