Question

Alert on Clip, can't relink

FCP 10.6.5

MacOS 13.0.1

MacBook Pro 2019

I'm getting this alert in my browser list:

The video file in FCP is blank/black with no audio. It's not the usual red screen with "Missing File." I cannot relink the file.

Every movie (22 of them) in my project has this. I've been spending the last few days doing all the editing on all these files.

I did not move the location of the file after importing into Final Cut.

I did not rename any video.

"Reveal in Browser" is grayed out.

All movie files are visible in the "Original Media" folder in the Project Package in the Finder.

I am completely stumped and have never seen this issue before. Any help would save me days of having to redo an entire project.

Thanks for the reply

All media of the current library is stored on my internal MacBookPro hard drive, there's 600GB of free space, and all the media (no alias) is in the [Library Package] > [Library Folder] > Original Media.

The media is there in that folder and has no issues if I try to open it from the finder.

Somehow, dragging the media from the finder into the timeline caused the original video to reappear in the timeline with the correct edits, and now will show up when I select "reveal in Finder" (but still no audio, and the original media has sound, and the project had audio previously)

Well, I have half solved it somehow. Dragging all the movie files from the Finder into the timeline has brought the picture back. But no audio. This is weird.

Where is the library and media stored exactly? What drive, how is it connected, formatted, how much free space? Is this managed media in the library or external?
