Thanks for both comments.

I have renamed folders and moved folders

in their entirety.... however it was only 2 videos that impacted all of my created videos.... so in retrospect I don't think it was me moving folders (as I've said I sensibly moved them in their entirety).

Premier Elements helpfully informed which "absent" files were needed; very useful in resolving this issue. So all is good now.

thanks for the input

ok, im piecing it together now as it does ask "where is file x" and then im searching to find the file.... so it's achievable to get bacl to where i was....

but it looks like ive got files all over the place...

any suggestions on how i can restructure all my files without encountering errors?

thanks

You messed up by moving files from where they were to a new location in the middle of a project

How many and what size drives do you have?

I have all of my DATA files on my D drive (I have C + D + F three physical drives... I built my computer)

When I start a new video project I put ALL video/picture/sound files for that project in the same folder on D and I NEVER move those files
