Media Offline, Why?

[claxius]

I use an external hard drive to store my files and everything goes great fo a while saving my video to it, and then sometimes PP can't find the files and it says the video clips are "media offline" and I have to re-link them. Please tell me how to correct this. tHANKS

When you use an external hard drive, your computer assigns it a drive letter. Premiere uses that drive letter to locate the clips, so you have to make sure that the drive letter stays the same when you turn the drive off then on again. To change it, right click on my computer, go to manage, then assign drive letter and path.

I use maxtor drives alot, and I always make sure that the drive letter is always the same everytime i hook it up. Hope that helps you.
