Windows 10: video project can't find photos now!

I am in the midst of finishing a video project (in photos video editor). When I opened it today, only 2 out of 150 photos remain in the storyboard. All the other photos are blank with a msg "We can't find this file!". I have not moved nor renamed the file folder wherein all these photos are kept, and were linked. I did get another msg earlier that the usb (holding the above) could not be detected. I reinserted it with no problems. Why will the program now not recognize the pictures? And can I fix it or do I have to rebuild from scratch???

Many thanks.

Windows Photos Export Video Project Problem

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



We understand the difficulties you are facing with the Photos App, while exporting video project. We were able to create and export the video project. So the issue could be with photos app installed in the PC. I would suggest you
to follow the steps mentioned in these methods.



Method 1: Please refer the steps as mentioned in

Fix problems with apps from Microsoft Store article.



Method 2: You can also try to re-install the app using PowerShell. Here are steps to re-install photos app:

1. Open PowerShell (Admin). Right click on the start button and then on PowerShell (Admin).
   
2. Then type: get-appxpackage *Microsoft.Windows.Photos* | remove-appxpackage
   
3. Once the above command is successful. You can install the Photo app from Microsoft Store.
   

We await your response.

Photos Video Project

I just completed a 1-1/2 hour video project using Microsoft Photos. I want to download to my computer. I tried "sharing" to onedrive, but it only shares the video clips not the completed video project. Also I get a message that "larger videos will be removed".
Is there any way I can use my video project outside of Photos? I want to make a DVD eventually.
