Rob,
thanks for pitching in. I will try the reformat and see what happens.
They don’t kill the import dialog box just by being in the folder. WHEN i hit import on a folder that HAS them inside, WHEN LR hits the movie file, it hangs and will not continue. So this is a problem you or others have run into? I am not normally a least resistance guy and like to have a program do what it is supposed to do when it is supposed to do it. Cannot figure out what it is about my setup that is causing it….. and REALLY cannot afford the time to tear it all down and start fresh….again.
thanks again
