When a movie or image is inserted to a Logger Pro<\/em> file, Logger Pro<\/em> makes a link to the media file. When the Logger Pro<\/em> file is saved, a copy of the movie or image is always saved to the same location. This is the only<\/i> way to make Logger Pro<\/em> write out a permanent copy of the video file.<\/p>\n

If you want to use the Logger Pro<\/em> file on a different computer, first save the Logger Pro<\/em> file. Then, transfer both the Logger Pro<\/em> .cmbl file and linked movies and images found in the same folder.<\/p>\n

When a .cmbl file containing a link to a video is opened, Logger Pro<\/em> will first look for the movie in the location in which it was originally saved. If that fails, it will look for a file of the same name in the same folder as the Logger Pro<\/em> .cmbl file. If that file is not available, you will see a white square prompting you to double-click to browse for the movie.<\/p>\n

Opening the file by double clicking on the .cmbl file directly (as opposed to opening Logger Pro<\/em> and then opening the file) can also help Logger Pro<\/em> find the associated movie.<\/p>\n

Note: During video capture, Logger Pro<\/em> saves video files to temporary folders. However, you cannot count on retrieving the files from these folders after capture, because Logger Pro<\/em> cleans up the temporary folders frequently. If you want to save a video, save the current Logger Pro<\/em> session as a .cmbl file (using Save As… from the File menu).<\/p>\n
