I need help to move project from one computer to another to edit and burn

I have a graduation slide show project which I am working on (on my laptop) with just photos and music (no videos) while I am away from home. My problem is.. I would like to move the project to my desktop computer (bigger, newer and faster) when I get home to finish and burn the project. Both computers have MEP MX Plus installed. I will put all the photos and music I am using in the same place on each respective computer. How do I accomplish this task to save and move the project to the other computer to keep editing and burn?

Hi,

If you just copy your MVP project file from laptop to PC, by whatever means you prefer, then you should simply be able to open it and continue with no problem.

Ok, it sounds easy, but how do I do that?... I mean how do I find and copy the "MVP project file" ?

Well, as you had been doing video editing in MEP I assumed some very basic knowhow! Presumably you have been saving this 'graduation slide show project'. Each time you did so you would have seen dialogs allowing you to choose what to call it and where to save it, like this:

Or for better quality: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/4019461/MEP-SavingProject-1.jpg

So just navigate to that Windows Explorer folder on your laptop, copy the file to a memory stick or SD card (or email it to yourself) and then paste it into the identically-named folder on your PC.

If you've forgotten where the project folder is located, tap the Y key in MEP to show Program Settings and look in the Folder tab:
