Recently published articles for Final Cut Pro for Mac:
Opened up a project and it shows a number of missing files in the timeline, but they are right there in the browser, so why is Final Cut showing them as a missing file? I can manually fix by dropping the file onto the timeline and replacing it, but I have to do that a number of times as there are quite a few. Wondering why this would happen and how to fix it in one easy step.
Mac Studio
Here are two examples. One is a title created in FCP, so not sure how it could be missing. The other is a still image which is in the browser window, but not showing. Most of the project is working fine, but a number of images and titles appear like this.
Ah, okay. I have some camera moves on those clips which were plugins which mysteriously disappeared from FCP. They were simple zoom with ease in or out (as opposed to key framing, which has no easing). They are no longer available and I don't know where they went and I can't remember what they were called, so I can't reinstall them. Having said that, I did find another free plugin which is similar, but even better as it has more controls. That's Alex 4D smooth move.
Anyway, you solved my problem. Thank you.
P.S. Is it safe to upgrade to Ventura yet? In terms of Final Cut Pro, anyway.
That's the missing effect alert. The file's there but an effect has been applied that's not available.
One explanation is that file names or a folder containing files has had it's file path or name altered by choice or inadvertently. Double check this.

Please post a screenshot of what you see in the timeline and viewer.
I am glad that you solved it, but when the effect was missing, the name should appear in the Inspector, under Effects, no?
It does, as in above image. I just didn't realize that the effect was missing on those clips. Like it doesn't have a flag on the inspector, but now I know.
Missing files, but they are not missing!
