The movie file cannot be found…BUT the movie plays in Finder??

[Nick Meyers]

Hi, Jim.

A reference movie can be quite large,
and it can contain some media.

it always contains audio, for instance, (if you exported with audio)

and if the timeline was not completely rendered, then a reference movie will contain rendered media for those sections.

“The missing file is “[project name]_FIN-00000021″ which looks like a render file to me??”
yes, most definitely.

i don’t know if there is some way to “get at” the media contained in that file.
i don’t think there is.

i wish i had better news for you, but i fear you may have to re-build the project if you really want that file.

Thanks Nick–I had basically resigned myself to having to do that, but thanks very much for the feedback. At least I know i wasn’t overlooking a simple solution.
