  • reconnect media not working

    Posted by Roli Rivelino on August 4, 2011 at 12:10 pm

    I have a project which I moved onto another drive to create space, however when I try and reconnect the media is greyed out. I tried to reconnect to the media’s new location and I’ve moved it backed to its new location, all to no avail.

    Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Many thanks

    Can you import the media? If you can, does it have the same names as the clip names you’re attempting to connect to?

    Yes I tried re-importing the tapes (it’s a dv project) and that still didn’t work.

    As far as naming’s concerned I’ve given the various sub clips different names, but don’t think I changed the source clips.

    You can’t just choose file/import/files, and select those files you’ve moved? If not, they might be corrupt and you need to recapture from your tapes.

    OK, actually reimport them into the bins you mean? I’ll try that and see if it works.

    many thanks
