<aside> ⚠️ ADOBE FILE MANAGEMENT: Keep ALL assets (media files) in the same folder/location. Adobe does not know where your media is if it is scattered and will cause errors. Do NOT work off Cloud Storage (iCloud, Google Drive, Adobe Cloud): This can cause you to lose project progress and assets. Use cloud storage as storage backup only!
