Ok Ive got a few questions to ask as things are driving me crazy now..

1. Im not the most tidy of workers due to time constraints, when I do get time to have a ''clean up'' of my desk top things start to get messed up, as in the PDR project I am currently working on!!.. When I move clips, pictures etc from the ''clean up'' then open up the project, items I have moved are missing from the time line?? Why is this? Are the clips in the time line just links? I upload the clips in to the library but why do they dissapear when I move media?? is everything just a link? Can I alter this so if I move media in another clean up the items stil stay in the timeline?


2. Spending a lot of time making an intro and a sort of media wall for my last project I got to a stage where I was happy with all the editing, FX, cutting at specific times etc then rendered the video to see how it was comming along, it looked good but I then wanted to grade the videos to make them look better. When this was performed (in colour director) the frames in the media wall I made have a big bulky shadow which looks awful, I was hoping this was just a small glitch with the new settings so rendered the new graded video hoping it was just within the program. Once rendered the awful frames were still there and my hard work has been messed up are you supposed to grade the media before adding it to the timeline? Why would these awful frames appear?

I would like to upload the video and the current project so you could see and understand my problem as I may not have explained it to well....

If any of you have an idea of what I mean then any advice will be very welcome
