Hello, a couple of diys ago whilst working on a wedding video for a friend all the audio went off line, although I can import audio into the project media box i can not drag it onto the time line. The audio that was peviously there is off line.

Any help would be appreciated.

Many thanks,

Mac.

What type of audio files?
Are they on an external drive?
Did the drive letter change because another device was connected or offline?

Hi, i am using the audio from I tunes folders, they are in my D drive which is internal. I dont think the letter will have changed due to the fact the audio is in my second drive after C.
I have even opened a fresh new project to check if the other is corrupt but the same thing happens.

"Hi, i am using the audio from I tunes folders,"

My crystal ball tells me you recently updated your iTunes and Quicktime to the latest version. That is the problem. Do a search in the Vegas Pro Video forum and you will find plenty of discussion . . .

When you open the file, just let it run an automatic search. It goes pretty fast once it figures out where everything moved to.

Thanks guys, your ball is right. I have updated the I tunes. Ill have a look, it doesnt seem to do any automatic search on opening? Im using 8 pro.

It won't open the files until you roll back your Quicktime to 7.6.2

(Randy, it's not a matter of searching for misplaced files. They are there but can't be opened once Quicktime was updated.)

Cheers, i have just down loaded the older version of quick time and its all working. Thanks for your help.

Ah, I assumed the iTunes update must've reorganized the location of the music library.
