Final Cut Pro Problem - editing between different computers

Hey guys,

I created a final cut project on another computer but no longer have access to clips. So every time I try to open the project the video it doesn't render the footage on the timeline and it asks for the location of the original clips. My question is, how can I edit the project without having access to the original clips?

Thanks

If I understand you correctly, you have moved the project but not the media the project used?

Then the answer is - you can't.

You need to have the original media files (or complete copies of the original media files accesible to your new computer) in order to edit the project.

MtD is correct. You can't edit a video if you don't even have the video.
