NOOB HELP! Elements main media missing. Media Off-Line message.

All of the text and sound effects/sound bytes are there, but the main video is not.

I've got the Media Off-Line red fill across my entire video.

I'm a 37 year-old Father editing his daughter's YouTube videos. Any honest help would be more than appreciated. I don't know what I'm doing. It's the main video/audio that's blocked, not all the additional things.

Help?

Is the media on an external hard drive that is either not connected or doesn't have a fixed drive letter assigned?

You might save yourself a lot of time and trouble if you watch this 8 part series.

The same author, Steve Grisetti, has a thoroughly expanded version on Linda.com which is available through many (maybe most!) public library systems.

I don't know what I'm doing.

Solve that as a first step. It's difficult to do any job well without the appropriate knowledge.

Sound like the project can't find the video files. You can relink them. See the page below for how:
