Relinking

Post by ddangler »

I'm new to this forum as I am to Video Editing, so I apologize if these are basic questions. I could not seem to find this discussed in the forum.

I have taken images from a CD and placed in library, dragged to timeline, Saved and then close the project. The next time I open project, it searched for those images saying that it can't relink to them. What am i doing wrong?

Hi DDangler, welcome to the forums,

When you place an image in the library, you are not placing a copy of the image, only a thumbnail link to where the actual image is. So if you don't have the CD in the tray, the next time you open your project VS will need to relink to them.

What you need to do, is copy the images to a folder on your harddrive, then in VS Image Library, Import those images...

Hope that helps..
