Final Cut Pro won't reconnect media

I moved some media from one drive to another. When I now try to reconnect media using "search" , FCP finds the media, I click choose, but then it does not show up in the "files located" box. This does not happen with every file, but it does with most of them.
Thanks

If you copy the media with the media manager instead... you don't have to reconnect... If you use Move, it will will delete the originals and copy will do just that. There's the option of creating a new project file in the process too, and if you do that copy will be connected to the copies. Move will reconnect the current project file's media. Moving on the desktop isn't the way to go here. Often, there's a corruption in the copies that way. QT movies just don't drag and drop right all the time for whatever reason.... but MM always makes perfect copies. Just as fast too.

  • Final Cut Pro refuses to Reconnect Media

    I'm just figuring out FCP. I got far enough to import one hundred 9MB image files and cut it all together with music, titles, a FRAPS capture background, and basic motions. I exported an avi and uploaded to YouTube and such. So far, seems dandy.
    Since it's on a dedicated machine at the office, I log in. When I came back to work on it some more the next day, FCP said my "media files are offline." I have all my files organized and shared on the LAN, so I figured out to Reconnect Media in chunks across my nine or so bins. I didn't have to reconnect all 100+ files individually. It's 3+ GB worth of data.
    Today I log in, I get the ornery expected "offline" business, but for some random reason FCP will not match the filenames en masse anymore. It has decided it's looking for...
    Sketch 74 - Sunday Morn D0.tif
    ...instead of the real filename...
    Sketch 74 - Sunday Morning Restaurant 1-1.tif
    FCP seems to have appended sequential HEX values to the filenames. Maybe I enabled some weird logging "feature"? It works as expected if I hard navigate to reconnect one image file.
    Anyway, I can't edit a video if I have to reconnect 100 individual media files manually per login. Help?

    I have "imported" my media files from across the network. I used the "Import" command and pointed to a network folder. There was difference - I put bins inside of bins to make a cleaner tree structure for myself.
    I've begun the process of making my filenames more terse and even more organized. Hopefully I can just do one massive import when I login to work.

  • Installed a ATI Radeon HD 5770, now Final Cut Pro won't even open - says 0mb Vram?

    Installed a ATI Radeon HD 5770, now Final Cut Pro won't even open - says 0mb Vram?  Only dvi port work the two mini's not at all.  Bad card?  Macpro 3,1

    I would guess there is a a corrupt media in the project. You could also try to copy a part of it to new project which is shorter and see what happens. 5 Hours is extremely long. Best to divide it to smaller sections.

  • Final Cut Pro won't open

    Hi All,
    Please bear with me as I'm new to this forum.
    Final Cut Pro won't open on my computer and as a message, a window appear and says:
    "the waver form cache files folder does not have read/write access. Please select a new folder in the system setting dialogue or correct the problem on disk".
    I don't have access to the dialogue box at anytime because when I turn on FCP and this message appears, when I click "OK", FCP turns off. I have tried to open it through the icone but the same message comes back again.
    Can someone help me?
    Thanks a lot!

    I never suggested repairing the boot disk.
    I should have been more specific in my suggestions.
    In my experience the best way to repair permissions via Disk Utility is to restart the computer in safe boot mode/repair permissions/restart.
    It is my understanding that running Disk Utility without a safe boot is less than effective.
    I do think this process is better than running DU from the OS disk but there are worst case scenarios where it must be done. The original posting probably doesn't apply to this situation.

  • Why won't final cut pro x import my media anymore?

    I recently encountered a bug with final cut pro x. Previously I have been importing AVCHD files and working with them directly in the application. But, today as I went to import some more of the same footage it acknowledges an import, but nothing shows up in my events folders.
    This is really bizarre. Not only this, but I tried importing a regular .MOV file directly by drag and drop, and via the import button, to no avail.

    I never knew that "/" were part of the Unix code. Thanks for that. As for importing AVCHD video through the application by Cmd-I, I have done that as well. It still doesn't work.
    Here is what I've done:
    And nothing shows up in the event folder.

  • Final Cut Pro won't open windows

    Hi
    I'm pretty new to FInal Cut Pro, and am still getting used to it, so forgive me if this question has a blindingly simple or obvious solution, as I'm reasonably sure it has.
    For some reason, FCP is not wanting to open certain windows. More specifically in this instance the Tool Bench option under the Windows menu is greyed out, and won't let me open the window.
    I've had problems previously where FCP would refuse to allow me to open the timeline window too. Is there something obvious I'm missing?
    Thanks in advance.

    the tool bench window would only be an option if you actually had a tool bench hosted tool open (ie those tools listed under the tools menu) without a tool open then the tool bench window would just be a big grey empty square ... hence the option is disabled until you open a tool.
    similarly the timeline and canvas window would be disabled if you did not actually have a sequence open else they would have nothing to show ... same rules apply
    cheers

  • Final Cut Pro won't open any of my projects.

    I had a one month break not having time to work on my videos, during which I have updated Final Cut Pro X to version 10.1.1. Now my projects have vanished from the library, and it won't open .fcpevent or .fcpproject files. When browsing in Finder, everything looks as it always has, but Final Cut library shows only the original clips, none of the edited work. If I try to open .fcpproject file, it states that "The document “CurrentVersion.fcpproject” could not be opened. Final Cut Pro cannot open files in the “Final Cut Pro Project” format." Months of work on a sketch series has thus just disappeared, and my backups are just as useless as the originals. I'm new to Final Cut and edit videos as my hobby and don't quite understand all the features. I've got no idea what to do or try.

    Is that an external hard drive? I can't see the left side.
    What have you done so far? It looks like a library was created for that drive and the old projects and events were put in a back up folder. Where did these new projects and events come from? None of them after the correct FCP icon. They only have generic icons, and they were all modified today. Did you open them in 10.0.9 today? How were they modified?
    Change the name of the folder called Misc. to sonething else.

  • Final Cut Pro won't fully open with new OS 10.10.3

    final cut pro version 10.2 will not open with OS 10.10.3. Rather, it starts to open in my project, then hangs up with the spinning wheel that never stops. I upgraded the OS to this one just last week and haven't been able to open fcp cc since then

    1. Can I rename the library as I wish to reflect the project topic?
    - Libraries can be named anything you wish.  Rename them in the Finder.  Or simply name them when you first create them.
    2. Can I safely drag it into the external drive so everything is in the same place and space is saved on the computer? I realize upon FCP start-up I'd have to locate the library to re-establish the connection.
    - You can move Libraries to any location you wish in the Finder.  If you don't want your media to do offline (relink), you can select the Library in the Browser, go to the Inspector, click the Consolidate button.  This puts everything physically inside the Library so it is self-contained.
    3. The library (on the computer hd) seems to create new libraries sometimes. One when I used FCP the first time. Another when I restarted using option/command, etc. Another with a little test video when I first purchased the program. Can I delete every single library (now in the movie folder) other than the one I am working on, or does the FCP system somehow need to hang on to one or more other libraries?
    - There has to be one Library open when you launch FCPX.  If you closed all your Libraries before quitting FCPX, then it will create a default Library in your Movies folder.  You can move unneeded Libraries to the trash in the Finder, FCPX doesn't care.

  • Final Cut Pro won't update

    My Final Cut Pro X software won't update from 10.0.3 to 10.0.4
    Has this occured to anyone else?
    How do i solve my problem?

    Did the update show as available to you for download when you went to App Store>FCP? Did it download but not install? Check Applications to make sure FCPX is not "hiding" in a folder.

  • Final Cut Pro Won't Open, bounces once in dock

    I am running Final Cut Studio 2 and everything has worked perfectly for about 6 months. When i started up my computer today I clicked to open Final Cut Pro and i t just bounced once in the dock, then did nothing. All the other studio programs(motion, soundtrack, color etc...) open up just fine. I have not run any updates in a few weeks, infact, that computer isn't even hooked up to the internet. I tried deleting the preferences, opening up form the applicaitons folder and double clicking a project file and final cut still just bounces once in the dock and then does nothing. A safe boot didn't do the trick either. Does anyone have any ideas as far as what i could try short of doing a re install of final cut studio?

    tried deleting the preferences ...
    When you say "tried" do you mean you did? which files did you trash, or which app did you use to do it? I'm liking "Preference Manager" for this at the moment (http://www.digitalrebellion.com/pref_man.htm)
    Also as a troubleshooting step you might want to create a new OS X user account, log in to it, and then see if FCP will launch in that new account.

  • Any ideas on why Final Cut Pro won't install?

    I tried to load in my version 6.0 of Final Cut Pro Academic into my computer at my music school and at the point when I loaded in the disk after "Audio Content 3", I think it was "Studio Pro Content" or "Motion" disc (sorry I can't remember which disc) a black sort of veneer came over the screen and said, "You must restart your computer"...
    It was in a KP crash I think because all the fans were going crazy and all I could do was hold the start button for 6 seconds and the computer shut down. I had a problem loading in LOGIC Pro once and the fix was to repair permissions. So I did that and then restarted and tried to reinstall Final Cut Pro but at the same disc the computer went into a crash. I have recently done checks of my RAM and all 4.5 GB seems to be fine. I checked all my system requirements for the Final Cut Pro software and I have more than enough of everything. BTW I have a PowerMac 2.7 Dual with all the latest OS, and current downloads, etc.
    Obviously the disk could be bad but the full software, all disks, loaded fine on my home computer. Could it be that I should totally uninstall Final Cut from my computer at the music school and try again? Any ideas - thanks!

    hey i may just be talkin out my arse here, but r u sure yer comp has ALL the requirements to run final cut pro? if its hd, it might require more stuff that u dont have yet. we had to go out and buy a new mac with all the requirements that cost over like a 1000 bucks, so make sure u have all the requirements. we thot a good mac wud be sufficient, but no, it needs to be like one of the best macs there is!!! here they are i think: http://www.apple.com/finalcutstudio/specs.html good luck!
