Trouble with master .veg file...Please help!

[Ruby Tuesday]

I keep my raw video data on an external "J:" drive. My .veg files are on my "C:" drive, along with my rendered .avi's.

This has always worked fine. Whenever I edited my master .veg file (consisting of rendered .avi's) I never needed to have my "J:" drive turned on. Only when I edited the individual scene .veg files, did I need to turn on the external drive.

Recently, I edited my master .veg file, adding two clips that I had copy/pasted from other .veg files (not rendered .avi files.) I then took out those copy/pasted .veg clips, replacing them with rendered .avi files, and saved the master .veg file.

Now, whenever I recall the master .veg file, it says that those two clips are offline and I need to turn on my "J:" drive to download them into the master .veg.

I've tried deleting the whole section where the editing took place and it still comes out the same. I even took all the clips out (an empty timeline) and saved it as a test file and when I bring up that test .veg file, it still asks for the missing .veg files.

Any ideas what I can do?

Thank you,

Ruben

check out your 'project media' tab, you will probably find reference to the files on your J: drive. if you don't need them anymore, delete them from your project media (it won't erase them from j: )

HTH,

Thank you, Greg. That did the trick.

One nice little shortcut in the future is the little "lightning" button on the project media. But make sure you really want to press it, it will remove all unused material from you project media bin, really helps to clean things up.

Yes, thank you, Scharky. That's what I used.

Take care,
