Q: FCP file corrupt?
Having a problem that I haven’t seen before on FCP 10.2.2
I’ve built a project/library and I think it’s faulty.
Each time I load the library, most/all of the items in the timeline show as “Missing Camera”.
If I REIMPORT one of the files used in the timeline it reconnects everything.
It seems now that the project is larger, I need to reimport several random files (all of which are used in the timeline) to reconnect everything successfully.
Once re-connected, I can edit, but each time I restart the library (beginning of each day) I need to relink as described.
ALSO - I cannot export (everything in the “share” menu is grayed out.)
I also tried exporting an XML file and tried building a new library/project with it. The export seemed to work, but upon import, I received tons of errors and everything is strange in the new timeline.
Looking into it further, I’m noticing that when I click on a video in the media bin and look at the “location” in info window, it displays differently than I’ve seen before. Typically, (I checked other libraries) it’ll display the drive and a “reveal in finder” button is avail. In this case, the path shows as “/Volumes/drive name/rest of path.
Also the reveal in finder button is grayed out.
When I click on a item in the media bin and try to relink files, the window is blank as if there’s no missing file to reconnect.
Help!
