    Hi. New to forum so please excuse any mistakes. Cutting a film on AXP 4.8.2 osx 10.4.6. I want to do playouts on a second machine, so I’ve copied all the media onto a second external drive, and want to feed it Quicktime Reference files. When I do, Quicktime (Pro) is thrown, and can’t find the files. Understandable, but is there any way of getting the file to connect with the media?

    Keep the (relative) pathnames the same. Should work then…
    Just copy the media file dirs to the new drive and keep the ref files in the root (on both machines)

    That sounds good, but can you explain a bit more. What are relative pathnames? And how do I keep the reference files in the root of both machines?

    Have copied the media file directories (like .pmr and .mdb). Thank you so much for the advice.

    if you have your media in d:\omfi mediafiles\
    place your ref in d:\

    On the target disk, do exactly the same.
    If you place the ref in a subdirectory and it cannot find the media anymore….

    clear?

    Thanks, I’ll try that. I’m on a Mac, but will apply that logic.
