Keep the project in the same folder as the footage.

somehow you have moved the files. As Charles mentioned..I always keep every piece of the work in a main folder..ie: Music,Pics,Video, even the finished dvd,Bluray files are in one folder per project.

Just a thought:

Are you letting it conform the media clips? Even if you move the clips Premiere will come up with a popup that says something like Locating media. But, I have noticed when I start my projects (newly created or been working on) it goes through a process of conforming media. There have been times that seemed that none of the media was available and then after about 2-3 minutes the media that was in the sequence\timeline that was not available\blanked out becomes available.

That is why PP can't seem to locate them. Can I assume it was started on a different machine.
