HELP PLEASE! (Lost files)

I recently ran out of space on my harddrive while capturing footage from my camera, so i decided to change the designated capture folder to an external hard drive. Unfortunately, all of my saved clips were lost and I no longer see the video tab to see any clips? any suggestions?

HI sajo and welcome to the forum.
If you know the file extension of the "lost" files, go to Start then click Search then "All files and folders" and type in *.(the file extension) then click search it will find all the files on your system with that file extensin. Unless you have deleted the files from the external HD they will be there.
BTW What "Video Tab" do you mean? What program versin are you using? Also please complete your profile.

I have video studio X2 and the tab i'm referring to is on the editing screen, there is a pull down bar with Title, image, audio etc. Video no longer appears.

Because you have yet to complete your -->

The next location to check will vary Dependant upon which operating system you have.

XP:
C:\Documents and Settings\Stephen\Application Data\Ulead Systems\Corel VideoStudio\12.0

Vista / Windows 7
C:\Users\Stephen\AppData\Roaming\Ulead Systems\Corel VideoStudio\12.0

Replace Stephen with your user name.

Rename the above by simply placing a x at the end, Example;-
C:\Documents and Settings\Stephen\Application Data\Ulead Systems\Corel VideoStudio\12.0X

Restart VideoStudio which should recreate those directories.
