Expected Behavior
When I export my scene collection (and all the files referenced) to a OneDrive link, I save everything in the one folder. When another user downloads this folder, imports the new scene collection, and checks for missing files, everything works perfectly.
However, I'd expect the file path of the Image Mask/Blend filter applied to this video file to adapt with the new path like all the other sources.
Current Behavior
However, 1 particular video file has a filter applied to it "Image Mask/Blend" which obviously has the attribute of "Path" to source which .jpg should be used as the mask. The user who downloads the scene setup and validates the files fails to get an updated file path (ie, OBS succesfully identifies the that there is that file to validate, but fails to change the path for the applied filter).
Steps to Reproduce
- Export Scene Collection
- Download all assets to a single folder on another device
- Import the new Scene Collection and verify missing files
- All files will work, but the Image Mask/Blend filter will need its path manually set
Anything else we should know?

Research direction
Start by tracing the Image Mask/Blend filter's Path value through scene collection export/import and the missing-file verification flow. Reproduce the four listed steps on Windows 11 with OBS 30.2.3, using the linked log for context. It is done when the filter path updates automatically like the other referenced files.
