Good call Oliver, breaking the compound apart works, but that defeats the purpose. They are now just clips on the timeline like any other. I also noticed that any custom titles do not transfer properly, they too show offline and will not reconnect despite having the custom title motion file on both computers. I also copied the event at finder level and the compound clips do not work on the new computer. Useless to me as it is now, the point was to work on the road and home. I cannot waste time breaking the compounds and rebuilding every time I change computers.
