Please please please tell me theres a way to get media back online... I lost all my clips and I am sweating to death! I used a USB harddrive and thats when it happened... I unplugged it, but its still not showing my clips! I can read it tho... How long the clip is and everything... But cant see or hear the footage. Please reply.

Thanks.
 
I don't follow -- what exactly happened? What hard drive are your clips on?

Take it step by step and give as much detail as possible.
 
I uploaded music and sound effects into a little USB storage device... Because I edit on a computer not hooked up to the internet... Than I plugged the USB into my editing computer and uploaded the music and sound effects... Than all my footage dissapeared from Project Media, and most of my footage in my capture video window went offline... I think I'm gonna die... Is this stuff gone forever?
 
What drive is your general media on? Is it still active?

Did you save the project to a different drive? You may have confused Vegas as to the drive letter.
 
My video clips and stuff? Some are in my internal drive... Than some are in the external drive I got a few months ago. Which is still hooked in because I have like... 20 hours of footage in there.
 
Both actually... But I just got it to somehow go back online... I dont even know what I did... Thanks for your time. I realllllly appreciate it.
 
That's the problem. You confused Vegas as to where your media was. It looks for the media based on the file structure of your system relative to where you save the .veg file. If the drive letter the .veg file is on changes -- which can happen if you're using external drives, especially multiple ones -- you can get this error.

Just be careful where you save and where you keep your media.
