Please consider making file paths in the assets roster to be relative to the project file if within the drive of the project file. Moving projects from computer to computer is a tedious task of re-linking all assets if they are not under the project folder.

If you use a common file path to start with, it works fine.
For Example, we store our show assets in a folder on each of our team's C drives: C:/vMix show Assets
Once we all created that folder and moved the assets there, we have kept the actual vMix file on a google drive, so updates to the show are available for all, but those assets never change or move and are there for each team member.
We used to keep all of our assets on a google drive, which worked great for keeping everything in sync, except sometimes the google drive connection would be lost for a second, and it would break playback of all assets that have a play function and are on the google drive. Local hosting is better for anything that plays.
Best to use a folder location that is not tied to your user, since that will change from pc to pc unless they're set up exactly the same. No desktop, no Documents, etc

No desktop, no Documents, etc We actually do use dynamic folders, but sometimes we have to bounce between different machines, cloud or local, etc... Files need to be relative. This also ties to another topic I have on the ability to re-select file sources when the system says the file path is valid but the connection is broken.... you have to also re-connect everything manually.
