Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
Since updating to 16.1 my old projects will not play in the viewer. I can see the project edited in the time line but the viewer shows a missing files graphic. How do I reattach the file?
Also I needed some extra storage so I consolidated that event and deleted render files. Maybe thats what made it stop playing?
Any help greatly appreciated.

CleanMyMac has damaged your system for pro apps. You have a bunch of other old stuff, also a Google keystone daemon that I don’t know what it’s doing and should be removed.
You really need to do a clean wipe and system reinstall, migrating only the users and reinstalling only the applications you still need. Do NOT install CleanMyMac ever. Make sure MalwareBytes is not running continuously.
That’s really interesting, I thought clean my max was helping. I saw a difference. Why is it bad, can you share any articles I can’t seem to find anything bad about it?
how do I do a clean install migrating only certain things, I have a time machine backup.
thanks in advance Tom!!
One should never fall for any program that claims to “clean”, “optimize”, “speed up” your mac (or makes similar claims).
They are basically scams. In the case of cmm it is known to “clean” all too aggressively and in doing so leave systems unstable. Professional applications are the most affected.
In effect this thing ought to be considered malware.
The damage it can do now is less than it used to be, in large part because system files are now mounted read-only, but if still can and does damage.

Indeed, it is mystifying why such garbage is allowed into the App Store... well, that is, until one realizes that being in the App Store is not in itself any guarantee of quality, it just means that the apps manage to pass the bar for entry. It is sad that some completely useful and respectable applications are out, because they need to do things that the App Store rules disallow (Etrecheck being a case in point, but there are others), whereas this utter **** is in.
That’s not a missing file icon. It’sa missing effect. Select the clip and look in the Video inspector got any listed effects.
Yea that was the issue, it was the grade on top of the footage that was broken after the install. Not a bunch of my effects are missing, like fade to color and others.
Thanks for the help thou
If fade to color or cross dissolve are missing it’s possibly due to a Chrome installation.
How can I fix that, i tried reinstalling the program, besides fade to color being missing, 90% of all effects and transitions do not work.
Any recommendations?
