Reconnecting a Soundtrack Pro Project to Its Media Files
When you open a Soundtrack Pro multitrack project, the application checks to see if the
media files the project uses exist in the same location they were in when the project was
last opened. If the media files are not in the expected location, Soundtrack Pro displays
a Can’t Find File dialog with three choices:
• Skip All: Opens the project without reconnecting any missing files.
• Skip File: Opens the project without reconnecting the missing file.

project.
To reconnect Soundtrack Pro media files using the Locate option

If you choose to open the project in Soundtrack Pro without reconnecting its files, you
can reconnect individual audio files from the Timeline or the Bin tab and reconnect a
video file in the video track in the Timeline.
