Final cut x 10.0.5 media files just disappeared from event

All of sudden I have the missing file red exclamation on 4 movie files in one of my events, i have done the relink search, the files are not even in the original media folder anymore, just vanished into thin air. Any ideas??  I checked trash and nothing there, searched for the files on the desktop, nothing.  Just vanished!! These were important clips! Please help!

Thanks Andy, I did not have that checked off.  I fortunately still had the files on the memory card and re-imported those files. However if I didn't have that I would be in dire straits.  I literally checked every folder on my computer for these 4 missing files.  They dissappeared from original media folder in the event.  Into thin air, very scary since all these clips in particular were the most important. The only thing that i did at that time was import a new stock video file to the event.  As i was pulling part of this newly imported stock clip into the timeline it slipped into another event as i was pulling it down.  I went to the event it slipped into and pulled it back into the proper event and then 4 files had the red missing file label and then no where to be found.  I wish I could follow through with this but it set me back hours on this project.  Once I get it done I will try to find out how this occurred to prevent it in the future. Thanks for helping me.

    Hello r253,
    The following troubleshooting steps can help get your documents to reappear on your devices.
    Documents I've updated on my Mac or uploaded from iCloud.com don't appear on my iOS device
    If you're using an iWork for iOS app (Pages, Numbers, or Keynote), check the iCloud system requirements and make sure that you're using the latest version of iWork. For third party apps, check the documentation that came with the app, or check with the app developer to make sure the app supports iCloud. App Store application descriptions often indicate whether the app supports iCloud.
    Go to Apple () menu > System Preferences on your Mac. Click iCloud and confirm that you're signed in to iCloud and the Documents & Data checkbox is selected.
    After opening your iOS app, wait a few minutes for the documents to appear. Your iOS device may not have connected to iCloud since changes were made to the document at iCloud.com or on your other devices.
    Try creating a new document on your iOS device, then check again for the documents from iCloud to appear.
    Go to Settings > iCloud > Documents & Data and confirm that Use Cellular Data is turned on.
    Confirm that you're connected to the Internet by checking for an Edge, 3G, 4G, LTE, or Wi-Fi icon in your device's status bar. Test your connection by opening apple.com in Safari.
    Try resetting iCloud Documents & Data service.

  • 9810: my media files just disappeared

    My media files disappeared on the media home. I went to "explore" and "user"  and they are there but I can't access them normally. I can't play music or view my pictures or videos as they do not appear in the media home screen. The "user" folder is hidden and I can't unhide it...Please help

    Hey there,
     You need to connect your phone to a computer and enable the USB mode. Click on ur storage devices both internal & external & you will see some shortcuts to your original phone system folders. Delete all these shortcuts including a folder name "a8a" which holds the scripts that are preventing you from accessing your media files. After you have done this for both storage devices, remove your external media card from your phone.
    Copy the entire "user" folder from your blackberry internal storage drive (e.g. F:\home\user) to a safe location. Then disconnect your blackberry phone from the PC and select "Options, Device the Storage. Select "Built-in Media Storage" then use the blackberry menu button to format the internal media storage. After the format is complete, reboot the blackberry, reconnect to your PC as USB device and copy from your PC the "user" folder back to it's original path replacing everything....and you're done! 

  • Final Cut Crashed and then corrupted the file. So Final cut wouldn't open up. I tried reloading the backup, trashing the prefs file, systematically going through the 3 previous versions and opening them by themselves one by one to no avail.

    Final Cut Crashed and then corrupted the file. So Final cut wouldn't open up. I tried reloading the backup, trashing the prefs file, systematically going through the 3 previous versions and opening them by themselves one by one. I found Final Cut now loads but each of the backups and files in the previous 3 versions won't load. I've worked on the project for 3 weeks. Im suprised the backup files won't load either!?! I've only rendered 1 low res version. I am thinking I will have to rebuild the project in Final Cut 7. That is simply too risky to have all my back ups not load up!!

    I'm a little confused by this?
    Final cut now opens if launch older projects. But if I actually click on the project it crashes. Im not sure what you mean by events? I've moved them from the events folder.
    but when I open up and of the projects the FInal Cut opens but then wont load the project even with no events in the FInal Cut Events folder.

  • Final cut pro x keeps on saying files are full when trying to export when their not ?

    Hi
    Final cut pro x keeps on saying files are full when i'm trying to export when they are not full and also what setting do i export them on for a small quicktime?

    The preset that will give you the smallest file is email and you will have 3 choices of size. Not sure what you consider small, but also take a look at Apple Device.
    Your error message is Files are Full or DIsk is Full? Will need more info about your system specs, the format of the clips you're using and your project settings.

  • My Final Cut Projects folder were missing some files, I went to my time machine backup to restore and it said I don't have permission to access the time machine folder "Final Cut Projects". Why?

  • Does Final Cut Server is reconnected how media?

    Does Final Cut Server is reconnected how media?

    Yes, I too would like to start this discussion. We have a highly customized distribution, and have come to rely on FCSvr for our workflow. As people find other solutions, or stick with FCSvr, it would be great to know their thinking and how they'll implement the new or the old. If Apple open sources it, there are a number of people who would love to start developing it more I'm sure.

  • My final cut pro 6, is missing some files. because of mac keeper. I think its atom strand.HD. what to do, and how to make it work again?????

    I got mac keeper to clean up some files, and now I cant open Final cut pro 6. because of missing files. it is loading, at Atom strand.HD file, before it says that the program suddenly shutted down. the atom strand.HD is a file, that is connected to motion. if I put motion in the garbage can, then final cut works, but if I take motion out of the garbage can again, then it doesn`t. arrrrr. shall I re install final cut or motion. or is there a better way to make it work, again????? !!!!

    Well, best bet would be to reinstall FCP.  I'd use the FCS REMOVER from digitalrebellion.com (free) to uninstall the app first, then reinstall from the DVD.

  • Inaccurate Final Cut Express documentation: cannot open ANY file except QuickTime

    Hi,
    According to Final Cut Express 4 documentation, I should be able to import several kinds of video files in Final Cut Express, including AVI and MPEG files. In practice, only .mov files can be imported. When I tried to import .mp4 files from my Sony digital camera as well as from my Android phone, I got error messages about unrecognized file format. When I tried AVI files from Bandicam, I got the sound but only a white image. Yes, there are tools converting files to .mov format, but they stubbornly REENCODE everything, audio and video. I though the .mov was a container format so a simple tool could simply repackage the .avi, .mp4, etc., into .mov. No, in practice, reencode so loss of time and quality. Knowing that Final Cut Express perform its own encoding, called the rendering operation, this is starting to be quite messy as video editing process. Is it because my version of Mac OS X is too old and only newer versions provide an up-to-date QuickTime stack supporting other formats than .mov?

    Partially solved. The AVI files I was trying to import contained Xvid-encoded video with PCM audio. Installing the Perian package added a QuickTime component for Xvid, which allows to not only play my AVIs but also import them into Final Cut Express.
    Still no luck with MPEG4 files from my Android phone, but I was able to import MPEG4 from my Sony digital camera.

  • I have just updated to Final Cut Pro 10.1.4 - I have updated Projects and Events on my external hard drives (off the File menu). It's says under several project 'missing file' - but they were all there working fine before I updated.

    I have just updated to Final Cut Pro 10.1.4 - I have updated Projects and Events on my external hard drives (off the File menu). It's says under several projects 'missing file' - but they were all there working fine before I updated. I am working off 2 external drives - not sure if that would make a difference.

    After the update each seperate connected drive should now have a seperate Library.
    The older Projects and Events folders would have to be at the top level of those drives go be seen and updated.
    Were all the necessary Projects and Events in the corrrct place before updating?

  • I have been creating a film on Final Cut Express and half of my film has disappeared- what can I do to retrieve it back!?

    I have been creating a film on Final Cut Express and half of my film has disappeared! What can I do to retrieve it?! Furthermore, command Z doesn't appear to be working! Any help would be much appreciated!

    Check the capture/scratch disc to make sure the media is still there.  If it isn't your hard drive may be going bad.  If it is, then you may have inadvertently cut part of the video from the Timeline or deleted it from the Browser.
    As for the Command z issue, see how many levels of undo you have set in FCE preferences.  Also keep in mind that Command z will not work if you close the project and reopen it.

  • Desktop, OneDrive, Box files have disappeared from MacBook -- yet the folders remain!  How do I find the file contents?

    Recently I went to my OneDrive on my 2014 MacBook Pro to get some docs, and ALL the folders were empty.   (OneDrive is formerly SkyDrive.)  I also use BOX.  I checked the trash bins on my Mac and my OneDrive.  Nothing.  Then I realized that ALL my folders were empty -- including those on my desktop and in BOX.  ALL my work is gone.  This is a big deal...and unfortunately, I did not use Time Machine.
    The whole idea of the external drive was to protect these docs.  They sync with the computer -- if the computer docs disappear, so do the contents on the external drives.  But regardless, anything that was IN A FOLDER is gone -- xls, PDFs, docs, etc.  iTunes and pics are okay.
    About a week or so before this I downloaded Picasa.  Not sure if this may have had an affect on my computer.
    I contacted Microsoft  and they are useless.  I went to the Genius bar, and they never heard of such a thing.  They have moved it up but haven't heard anything from Apple.  This is something that happened due to the MacBook operating system, not a virus.  I've seen other similar posts where files "just disappear" but not to this extent.
    I really need some help or a forensic person to figure this out.  It is quite problematic.  I appreciate you help mucho....
    THANKS!!!!

    So this seemed to result in the outcome I wanted:
    - Find the old Thunderbird profile location (.../AppData/Roaming ... THunderbird/Profiles/...default/Mail/first.account.domain/Inbox
    - FInd the same location on the New laptop
    Copy the first (old, backup) inbox to a new file in the New profile folder; I did Inbox.bak
    Start TBird - and lo and behold, I have folders "Inbox" (recent mail since the old laptop crash) and "Inbox.bak" (the mail I thought was lost).
    Looks like I need to add all accounts to the New TBird first so that it creates the profiles, and after that copy the backup Inbox & Sent files to the new profile folders.
    This worked for me. Not very elegant, with several manual steps, but end result is what I needed.
    It would be great if there was a smoother way for disaster recovery.
    And yes, I should have had better backup policy in place. For everyone's benefit - I do Data Center systems for a living, and have seen far too many "backup" services which do not actually work in a restore situation. That's why my personal backups are direct file copies on large disks. It works, but leaves room for manual error, which is what happened here.
    Actual folders, btw, I keep where I see them - "c:\users\username\Thunderbird" - for this very reason.

  • Final Cut Pro X Error in relink file

    Final Cut Pro X. I have a problem: I can not relink the original files of a project that I've moved on an external hard drive. After finishing the work, I run a copy of the project following the procedures of Final Cut Pro X, but now that I reserve that project at the time to reconnect the file, it gives me this error "Incompatible file. The original file and new files have different audio source and channel counts. Relinked files must have the same media type and similar audio channels as the original files, and must be long enough to cover all the clips That reference the files ". The other times I had done this, it made me work quietly. Is the first time that happens to me. What has happened? How can I fix the problem?
    My version of Final Cut Pro X is 10.1.3, and my operating system is OS X Maveriks 10.9.5.
    Help me, thank you.

    Wow, that was quick. Which drive do I rename? The external or the one with Mac OS installed?

  • Media 100 to Final Cut: How to easy transfert media

    Hi,
    I'm planing to transfert my old Media100 media to a new Final Cut station, but I'm wondering if there's a easy way to get all my captured media from Media100 directly into Final Cut? Since the media files in Media100 are seperated into different audio and video files, I don't think that a codec will do that job? We probably need to multiplex the files into 1. What are your suggestion? Please don't tell me to redigit everything... I've about 1.2 TB of media.

    Also check the creativecow.net for similar posts. Many old M100 users in the FCP forum and the M100 forum is still active, you can get additional advice from those poor rats.
    My suggestion would be to export from M100 to the codec you will be working in inside FCP. I do not recall how the M100 codec compared to standard DV but you will need a few days and lots of drive space.
    Recapturing is only a last-ditch option in most "We're changing horses in the middle of the stream" platform conversions but transcoding is an interesting opportunity to seriously cull the resources. I do not know what you're working on but I'll bet you can dump 1/3 of it and no one will know.
