Editing an exported video on the application

[defaultcwiguvhr25if]

I was suprised to see that after exporting my videos from PP 2020 they do not appear anymore on the actual application.  Is that normal?  How can I edit them?  Is there something wrong or a way to revive them there.

If you want to automatically import your exported file there is a check box at the bottom of the export panel that will do this, I can't remember exactly what it is called but it is obvious.

Thanks but my question has to do about not being able to work on a video on the site after I have already exported it.  For instance I may want to add to it or select part of it to put elsewhere.  Not sure I am being clear.

Are you saying your timeline disappears after you have exported it?

[defaultcwiguvhr25if]

Thanks for your reply. When I open the project I get a message saying many
of media is missing. I have cancelled that... maybe I should click
'locate'? The timeline is 'browned' out so I cannot see the links. Maybe
this is a simple fix? I include a screenshot of the message.

Mary,

You can't move or delete the source media from an on going project.  Video editors only reference the source they don't contain it.   

A possible best practice is to put your project and source media in a file or folder dedicated to the project.

Dear Bill,

I am not experienced enough in PP to actually know the process particularly
of saving a project so I can continue working on it after I have exported
it. How can I revive my project. Not a simple answer to this? Thanks.

Are you editing directly from the camera memory card?

[defaultcwiguvhr25if]

No from the PPro 2020 application on my Imac.

Where are the video files stored, on an internal hard disc, an external hard disc or memory cards?
