A similar warning appears before a new audio file can be loaded:

Open audio file

A similar warning appears before a new audio file can be loaded. Note: When importing an audio source file into the Finalizer you will be asked if you want to copy the audio source file into the Finalizer project file. If you answer no, the Finalizer project file will point to the audio source file and you should be careful not moving this file from its location unintentionally. 

caching

If you export a new version of your mix audio file from your DAW and overwrite the Finalizer audio source file, it will not automatically be reimported into the Finalizer project while the application is running. You will have to reopen the project or restart the Finalizer application.

 

The following message will be shown if the audio source file used in the project is missing:
