Moving Original Photo's

I was working on a video of photographs video. I had so many pictures and stuff in the library I removed some as I put them in so I could just concentrate on the ones that I had not used yet.

After working on it for a while I also decided to move some of the original photos and video from the desktop and into my "Pictures" folder.

I went back after moving the pictures and half my video was black! Soooo ... I have gotten most of it back to the way it was but it took a very long time.

I was wondering if this happened because I removed the pictures from my PD library or if it is because I moved them from their original source? Or because I removed them from my PD library AND moved them from their original source.

Anyone know?

When you move them on your computer PD can't find them. It's best to put them where you want them before importing them into PD. __________________________________

I will remember that for future use, thank you! I was just so excited to start I did not put them where they belong first!

Again, thank you.

Once you have the media where you intend to keep it while editing, you can use Browse for the location of your media.

When you first start the Project file, PD will ask to Browse or Cancel, choose Browse then navigate to your media.

Once PD has found the media, save the project file.

Bubba, do I need to put that "pak" where I would want it then or it would not matter if I moved it once it was packed?

Anytime you add items you would need to re-pak, correct? Just delete the other pak then I assume or would that remove the first items you pak?

If you move a packed project, opening the project file will produce a complaint from PD; but if you browse to the folder where the packed project currently resides it will rebuild the project with the new location.

Neat feature. Jerry Schwartz

You'll get a dialog box with a browse button. Jerry Schwartz
