Quote: Looking for advice on how i can get previous projects to load so i can redo them or change format etc

My only problems is with some projects when i first did the project and saved the PDS file, I stupidly used the orignal files with there default file names from the camera etc, having since then changed the file names to more practical specific names, when i click the PDS to load most of the files come up missing due to the changed file name

Anyone have any tricks to avoid having to do full re-edit ?

Do you get the Option of Browsing for the files when you open the Project file?

If you do, browse for those missing (black place holders) files.

I am guessing PD will be looking for the original names of the camera files.

Otherwise:

You will likely have to put the original file names back in the PDS file (make a backup first).

The only way for you to change the filenames of the original file is to use the Powerdirector Alis. In the media library, right click on the file you want an Alias for.

Of course the original files must have the original names.
