  • How do you move project files from 1 computer to another?

    Posted by Joseph Yi on June 7, 2012 at 5:26 am

    Ok so, I was working on a project for the past 2 months now, and I got a new computer so I could finish it faster. I moved all my project files, including the individual video clips I used in my project, but all it shows when I open the project is the screen that shows up when a TV show is off air. Can anyone help me out? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks to all of you!

    Probably the easiest way is to use the File -> Collect Files option. Project will save and create a folder with all your assets. Grab the folder and move it to the new computer.
