Can't access video clips

[Guest]

I just started using M/M last week. At one point I decided to rename a
collection. Once I did, all the individual clips appeared with a big red "X"
in the middle and now cannot be accessed.

1. How can I recover them?
2. Is it possible to create a new title for a collection and move specific
clips into it without creating this problem again?

Thank you.

Hi Mike

Right click the red X and click "Browse for Missing File"

You can create collections and drag files around within those collections in
Movie Maker all you want. Doing that and/or renaming the collections
"shouldn't" have caused the red X problem. Did you also move or delete the
original file on your hard drive outside of Movie Maker?

I do have an article about organizing collections in the Movie Maker How-To
section of my website.
