Sony A7Siii files wont display in finder window but will in PPRO.

Its been a while since Big Sur came out and everyone in photography and video is using the new

A7siii practically.

I just loaded the file from a wedding last weekend and kinda surprised that Apple and Sony dont have this fixed by now.

Is there a fix or do we load everything in PPRO just to review the clips vs in Finder?

iMovie Missing File I don't what Apple did to iMovie during 2022, but it is not nearly as reliable as it was when I created my annual family movie last year. I am selecting video clips from my Photos library and dragging them into the iMovie Project Media area, so that I can them insert them into my editor timeline for the movie project. All of my clips look and play fine in my Photos library, but some (not all) of them, when I drag them into Project Media, show up as a giant question mark with "Missing File" and a message about reimporting them - which doesn't help. Why are only some of my video clips behaving like this? Is there something broken with either my Photos library (I store all my photos and videos on iCloud)? Is it something broken with the iMovie library files? There seem to be a number of other users who have had this issue, but none of the situations or solutions I've found so far have been helpful for my situation. Do I need to export all of these "broken" clips from my Photos library to individual MP4 files and then import the physical files into iMovie? (That's a highly inconvenient workaround, but it was my next idea to try if there's no quick fix.) Thanks for any advice.

STREAM folder EMPTY - NO .MTS FILES in Finder Why can I not see the .mts files in the STREAM folder in Finder? I understand that in order to view your files you have to "show package content" PRIVATE > AVCHD >BDMV > STREAM > And they should be displayed here. But when I do that, the STREAM folder is empty. I viewed the clips on my Sony A7 iii and also can view the mp4s in PRIVATE> M4Root folder. So the clips have been recorded and verified that they are on the SD card but .MTS files seem hidden. Can anyone provide any solutions, it would be much appreciated. I feel like it should be a simple fix because everyone who has a tutorial on this just opens the STREAM folder and there they are. Screenshots attached below. Thanks for your time. -Aaron STREAM Folder Screenshot: M4Root Folder Screenshot:

FCPX media missing from timeline but is in browser and plays from browser. In two recent projects using the same media around 1/4 of the clips in the time line are reported as missing showing the red and yellow warning notification. When I select Reveal In Browser the clips are there. When I play the clip in the browser it's fine. If I then select the browser clip and then right click to reveal in Finder a window opens and correctly shows the file in the Original Media folder and it can be played from there. The project is set up to use Original optimised Media not Proxy and so it's not a case of missing Proxy files. The project has always used original mai from day one never Proxy. I am trying to export a video of the project for a client who needs it today but at the moment the only solution I can see is to re-edit the missing sections which will take me all day. Any ideas how the timeline can be updated to show the "missing" media? This is not a case of re-linking as the files are already properly linked in the browser. OSX 11.5.2 FCPX 10.5.4 All projects and media are on an external 7200 RPM G-Tech desktop hard drive which is my usual editing drive.
