    You don't have the right path to your image textures, resulting in them not showing up, resulting in a pink filler replacing them. – Shady Puck Aug 16 '16 at 16:37
  • And how do I get the right paths? literally just started using this today lol. – Saul Aug 16 '16 at 16:47

All External Data i.e. images, scripts, VSE Strips, etc. are found and utilized through a Path. A Path may look something like the following, which would use Image.png and find it on my Desktop.

/Users/ShadyPuck/Desktop/Image.png

If the Path leads to a directory that doesn't exist or attempts to use an Image Name that isn't in that directory (in other words, it can't find the file), Blender will return pink.

What you need to do is locate the correct files for each pink instance in Blender's File Browser window.

  • So im using a template from youtube, so I basically have to have those images on my computer? Meaning i cant use the template? – Saul Aug 16 '16 at 16:55
  • @Saul Meaning you either need to contact the YouTuber and ask for them, ask for a .blend with the images Packed, or create your own images. Many users on this site have had a wide range of problems with YouTube intros, so I might suggest following some tutorials and creating your own (much more reliable). I might start with tutor4u; he has fantastic beginner tutorials. – Shady Puck Aug 16 '16 at 17:00
  • Ok I do have a .blend file how do you know if there are packed images?? – Saul Aug 16 '16 at 17:12
  • @Saul If they aren't pink. – Shady Puck Aug 16 '16 at 17:27
