Source not found when opening shot selects

You see: Source not found, reading "Could not find:" with the video's path, then "Locate “Domino Danger.mp4”?" with the file's name, and Relink… and Cancel. Or shots hatched in red, with the tooltip "This shot's video file is offline. Click the shot to relink it." On a reel, the clip plays as black and the problems list names the file.

Why: A shot selects file stores where each video was, not the video itself. When it opens, ShotWork looks for each video at the same place relative to the shot selects file, and at its full path. A video moved or renamed on its own, or on a drive that is not connected, is in neither place.

Fix:

1. If the video is on a drive that is not connected, connect it and open the shot selects again.
2. Otherwise choose Relink… and pick the video where it is now. The steps, and the Different file warning you may meet, are in If a video has moved.
3. Save the shot selects file, so it remembers the new place.

If that didn't work: If you chose Cancel, click any red-hatched shot to be asked again, or right-click an offline clip on a reel and choose Relink Source…. To keep this from happening, keep a shot selects file and its videos in one folder tree and move them together.
