Working with USB flashdisk

Hi guys,

I completed a few projects but I realized that when I did so, I used media clips from my USB flashdisk. I copied the files to the hard disk already but Power Director keeps searching for the USB disk whenever I load those projects. When I dont insert the USB disk, several clips are missing from my project.

Is there a way I can "redirect" Powerdirector to the clips in the same clips on the hard disk without having to redo the timelime?

Thanks

Charles

Yes when asked if you want to search for the missing file, from the path where it is in HD, after loading the project completely, Save Project, to update. XEON-E5-2680 v4 / Mem. 16GB DDR4

For some reason, my copy of Power Director doesnt ask for a new path. It just makes those media files disappear from the timeline. Do I have to choose it from some menu?

PD16 when it does not find the file of a project it will ask if it wants to look for it.

If by chance you choose to ignore, you will have a black block on the timeline instead of the missing file.

If you save the project now, it will update missing file.

To fix add the same missing file on the black block in the timeline, in the menu that opens select Replace. XEON-E5-2680 v4 / Mem. 16GB DDR4
