Figured it out. I had some media pulled in off CD and the CD wasn't in the drive. It'd be nice if there was a option in the Import Media button to save the media in the record directory, instead of referencing it from the original (and often removable) location.

LOL! I know. I typically pull stuff off CD's, a removeable drive, that I sometimes "remove" and also I archive really old stuff on a vitrual drive and if I forget to mount it or assign a different drive letter, I need to go hunting. It is nice that VV tells you such and such file is missing. I usually just slap myself on the side of head and put in the needed CD, or mount the drive, whatever.

Howdy WVG,

This was a particularly odd occurrence tonight; really had be worried my project file was corrupt. Normally VV should alert you that media is offline and let you search for it. But actually, my scenario was a little different.

I _did_ have the media on CD in the drive at the time, and VV didn't squawk at all on startup about not being able to find anything. The media pool was simply entirely blank. Even adding in a new file, it was still blank. I got the idea to start deleting events from the timeline and when I deleted some that originated off the CD that was in the drive, the media pool files showed up!

So I exited VV, copied those pictures onto my hard drive, and used them in place of th originals on CD. No problems since.

Possibly it was as simple as a wrong pointer in my .veg file. But it's a 1hr15m documentary and any little bit of doubt as to the integrity of my project file makes me queesy. :)
