1. A method of processing a multi-media editing project comprising:

  • maintaining a list of one or more user designated directories where multi-media files have been stored in the past, wherein a directory path name is added to the list of one or more user designated directories when the user specifies said directory path name to store the multi-media files;

    generating a request for one or more multi-media files for use in a multi-media editing project, the request being generated by a user computer that comprises part of a network where multi-media files are maintained in a network-accessible location;

    intercepting the request by the user computer;

    ascertaining whether a requested multi-media file is located on the user computer by checking the one or more user designated directories for the requested multi-media file listed in said list of one or more user designated directories;

    retrieving the requested multi-media file from the user computer if the file is located on the user computer in said one or more of the user-designated directories; and

    seeking the requested multi-media file from the network-accessible location if the multi-media file is not located on the user computer in said one or more of the user-designated directories.
