PPro project from Vista to XP *HALP!*
Yeup.
Not going so well.
I’ve decided to downgrade back to XP because of the endless problems I’m having with CS3 that we won’t get into here.I have copied the file for my PPro project (182 GB) on a removable NTFS drive and I’m checking if it copied properly by opening the project on my XP Machine.
Questions:
1. I now have to manually ‘find’ every item/clip in my 42 minute movie ???
2. Though finding all these clips manually went well for the first 30 or so, now I’m getting a message:
CANNOT LINK TO MEDIA
The selected file cannot be linked because it’s type (video) does not match the original type (audio and video)Disturbing to me, as they are the same clips . . .
What to do? what to do?
Any help would be . . . helpful
Thank you -

Can you only link to the same 30? Or is it just that it somehow hits a limit at 30?
If possible, I think I’d try to export the project as an AAF (you may have to do this with media offline if the Vista machine is now gone and the media won’t relink.
Technically, you SHOULD only have to relink one of each type of file in each directory…it should find the rest…
…There isn’t some funky nonstandard name in a directory any where is there? What if you create a new folder and drag all the media into it in the same level? Will it relink then?

1) Re-import source clips that show offline (perhaps to a different folder)
2) For each offline clip on the timeline, load the corresponding re-imported source clip into the source viewer.
3) Right click on clip in timeline, and select “replace with source clip – match frame”. Repeat for the other offline clips.
