sad.gif [font=Arial Black][size=7]Im in the middle of adding scenes to my saved production and all of a sudden several panels are missing files. Just big question marks. I've tried browsing for the missing files but to no avail. What must I do to recover the files? All the transitions are still intact.

Did you move those missing files to another location? You need to leave all files used in the production in the original location until you are finished with the project. The saved project only contains instructions as to where the files are located and what ever editing has been done. When you say you have browsed for the missing files, do you mean within the program? Maybe you could give a little more information. What program did you use to create this project?

To add to what Patty said.......

If you know the names of the files or even the file type, you can do a Windows\ Start \ Search and see where the files are currently located.

Occasionally, some photo editing programs will 'hijack' your photos and move them to a different folder. (drives me crazy)

Once you know where the files are currently located, then you can do a Browse for Missing files and relink the photos/video.
