Unable to open transferred working folder

[Ken Veal]

I have a folder that has 9.35 GB of video files in it which have been used to store Video Studio X5 ultimate (now completed) project files as my working folder. Properties tell me the folder has 13 folders and 95 files in it. I have double clicked and right clicked the folder but it won’t open. It was transferred via an external drive from my old XP PC. I can however, import files in it into VS via “Import Media files”

Hi Ken

I don’t know why that folder wont open especially as you can insert the files to X5
A little strange.
From the files you have inserted into VS, I assume the library.
Right click a clip and choose Locate on Computer….does that open the folder?

If yes view the address bar to see the location of that folder.?

I r/clicked on an imported clip(via insert media files) in the samples library and locate on computer.It opened the Video Projects folder.The address bar read
Computer>Media drive G:>Video Projects>Video Projects>Video Projects
The second instance of Video Projects was highlighted

Forgot to mention I did not get an email notification of your reply- can this be fixed ?

Hi Ken

If you now use Windows Explorer to view your G Drive can you locate those folders.

Seems a little strange to have the duplicated folders, but that’s what it reads like, three in all.

Post notifications

I have viewed your preferences via your profile and it seems to be set correctly.
At the bottom of this post are the words “Subscribe Topic” or “Unsubscribe topic “

Make sure it shows as “Un-subscribe topic”
If that is set then you should be getting the notifications.
Check your BT Yahoo Mail, view the “Spam” folder to see if your notifications are being stopped there?
If yes either mark as Not Spam or Move to Inbox

Hope that helps

I am able to now see the contents of the Video Projects Folder via 3 instances of it showing in the file path.How do I get back to having just one folder, I don't wont to delete the wrong thing.

Hi Ken

Same as transferring the files from the external drive.

I would rename the third folder, the one that contains the files to read My Video Projects
Then move that folder to the root G:\ drive. Or maybe the C:\ Drive (Copy and Paste)

Check the contents as ok----Then delete the Video Projects folder/s
