Hi All,

A while back I made, produced and burned my family's vacation to Disney last Fall. Upon watching the Blu-ray playback, I saw some edits I needed to make, and some of the scenes where shakey (not from videoing).

I had sometime this weekend to touch up the home movie, but when PD goes to load the saved template file, the video doesn't load with it, just the sound effets, and slide show that I do at the end.
Attached is what it looks like, any way I can fix this? I REALLY don't want to start from scrarch on this one..

I should also note, my video files I recently moved from my old external hard drive, to a new external hard drive.

However, on other homes movies I had saved, PD simply asked me to locate them, and I did, and they loaded into the template just fine.

Thoughts, suggestions?

I appreaciate any guidance you can provide. Thanks!

Jarred

Forget the .mpo file. It looks like you may have some 3D images in your BD. The fastest way to fix the BD is to simply edit it like extract it as an optical disc using the capture module. Edit, stabilize, etc. what you want and burn it on a BD-RE to make sure it is what you want. This will save you hours of editing if you can’t locate all assets of your original project. Burning will be super-fast because you might want to use svrt.

I understand you moved the video files because you thought the project wouldn't need further editing. When you received the prompt shown in your screenshot, did you browse to locate the file?

Is your "old" external hard drive still connected? If so, why not move your video files back there to their original location?

The suggestion tomasc made could well be the most effective option, but I've never tried to do it that way myself.
