I shot a music video and I transferred the files to an external hard drive and now when I transfer it back only one file is working out of the bunch. It shows the file size and everything but it’s just greyed out. Any tips will be greatly appreciated!
The files don’t seem complete. Any chance you can get a report on the media from either the Invisor or MediaInfo apps?
How is the SSD formatted?
I’m guessing they won’t open in the QuickTime Player. Can you see what it says in an app like Invisor or MediaInfo? Post a copy of the report.
What files are those, exactly? What is the file extension?
Does FCP have Full Disk Access?
I tried to convert the file from mov to mp4 using a few online tools and it kept saying a missing moov file
Transferred the files from what? A camera card? How did you do that? You should copy the entire card or camera folder structure.
What do you mean you transferred back? From the external drive to where? The camera card?
You imported them from the card using the FCP import window. Is that correct?
They were inside the FCP library. They worked inside the library. Is that right?
”then I transferred the files to an external hard drive”.
What exactly did you do? Where were the video clips when you transferred them? How did you transfer them?
Do you still have the camera card with the original clips?
The files may be damaged, but we don’t know until we can see a media report.
How exactly did these files get onto the computer?
Ok I imported the files from a sd card to Final Cut Pro. But I had a another project to do so I transferred the files to an external hard drive. Now I’m trying to work on the project and only one file is working. The rest are greyed out in the Final Cut Pro import menu. I see the files in the external hard drive and it shows the size of it but it won’t let me play it
”then I transferred the files to an external hard drive”
I clicked the part on a video where it says “show original” it’s like a folder where all the videos are kept in Final Cut Pro … I dragged and dropped into the external hard drive
It’s a music video so it’s different performance shots. The extension is mov
Yes it has full disk access
Trying to convert it .. it says moov file not found
Ok so I imported them from a sd card to a Final Cut project… then I transferred the files to an external hard drive …I tried to put them back today and only 1 file is not greyed out
No importable files
