Hi everyone. I am new to Cyberlink, but have some experience with Windows Movie Maker, and I am finding some similar things that crossover. Anyways, I have imported media into the library, and am not having any issues with finding detected scenes. The issue I am having is when I want to import more media, after I do, everything that I had already imported, disappears, and I can;t retrieve it. I know in WMM that you could just keep importing media into the library and it would just collect, whereas in Cyberlink, that is not happening. Is there something I need to do to keep all the files present, even after a new import? Or what am I doing wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am needing to get a video editing project done ASAP. Thanks!

Hi Tom,

You have opened an existing project and now you want to add for media files to the project, is that correct?

What you should be doing is click on File, Import,Media Files, a splash screen opens,

"Would you like to merge your Project Media library files with the current media files in this library"
Click YES

Your new media files will then be added to your existing project.

Thx for the reply. The issue I am having is I am taking preview stills from some of the video shots, editing the photos, and then reinserting them back into the video. And whenever I do that, that is when all the video scenes disappear on me. Because I am having to edit the photos in PS, and them import them back into the library. Very strange. I would just expect it to add it to the library, but it's not. Any fix for that? Or will your suggestion work for me??

I also wanted to add, I was never asked this when I imported other media files into the library:

"Would you like to merge your Project Media library files with the current media files in this library"

It just did it, and that is when the previous files disappeared.
