Replace Missing Take (.art) Files

Explorer ,

How does one replace a missing "Camera Input" take (.art) file?
I moved some of my projects over to a different machine, and I now want to relink to the correct take files. I was able to relink the audio files, but how do I relink the take file?

When selecting the missing audio file, I can then replace the path on the right side:

However, this does not work with take files.

 

Thanks

Yeah, it's probably looking for the old path. The safest way to move projects is:

1. File > Copy Media Files into Project Folder (this gets all loose files scattered around your machine).

2. File > Save Project As (save everything in a new place)

3. Zip all the contents up and send them over.

I've not encountered this error before. Have you tried compressing the project files and copying that?

Well I ended up copy pasting a take from a different project that I knew had a working take, but I would still like to have an option to replace a missing take somehow. What if I simply moved the files to a different path, or renamed a folder higher up in the parent folder hierarchy?

I cannot say for sure because I don't know what you're currently doing. What I can suggest is making a compressed (zip) file of the entire project, if you're not doing that already.

Yes this is probably the best way at the moment. I still think it should be possible to set a new .art file path manually, the same way it's possible with audio files, the Illustrator file containing the rig and so on...
