Rendering on another computer

[werner12]

Hi,
i want to render a project on another computer.
The problem is:
If i open the project file it doesn’t “open” the refering video-clips.
There’s even not a message like: “shotcut can’t find the video-clips” or something like that… they just don’t open. The project itself opens normally…
what could be the solution?
If i open the project file with the edtior, i can read (on the other computer) the old saving place of the clips…
sorry for my english

• Or: did you transfer the project and the files on a portable drive connected to the other computer ?
• Or: are the project and files located on a cloud service ?

The project file does not contain any of your media. Rather, it only links to your media files by file system path and name. There are 3 different kinds of projects: Clip If you put a…
