Please Help (Media Offline and cannot find Specified Files)

Christopher-Gainz wrote on 4/29/2020, 1:27 PM

I have downloaded Vegas Movie Studio (17) (NOT THE PRO VERSION) as an upgrade to (15). Ever since I've had (17) I have had to redo a project seven times and have got about midway and everything goes wrong. The video media suddenly goes offline and a message comes up: 'The Files cannot be found in the Specified Location' when trying to reopen and continue a project.

When the above pop up message appeared I had done several searches in all the drives and also gone through the directories the clips are in to replace them. Performing either of the top two options of the pop up box has not worked. I haven't deleted the files by mistake as this happens every time.

The files are on my Google Pixel 3 phone and I leave it plugged in via USB whilst placing them into the project.

FACTORS TO CONSIDER:

I have updated the latest QuickTime Player

I have updated the latest Windows Update for Windows 10

I have uninstalled and reinstalled Movie Studio (17)

I have repaired driver and audio problems that occurred during the project

When the computer goes into rest mode and I start it back up this seems to be a or the trigger for all the media to go offline

This is so frustrating and I'm frightened to start a new project yet again for this to happen. I haven't been able to make one video yet with this new Movie Studio.

Please help, from Christopher

You have the best results when you place those files on a harddisc of your machine on which you are working before using them in a project..

For reference I have attached the Popup that comes up when I try to load the project, and all projects before this one. I have performed both the top two actions several times.

Yes J-V may have to try that next time.
