RED RUSHES IN FINAL CUT PRO

Hello, working currently on a project with many different sources and extract from different interviews and different events. Therefore, I have set up a project where I have made a copy in my new project of all the rushes I need. However, everything is fine for an hour and then, it all becomes red. The clip is still playing though. I don't have an error message saying "Missing file" or I would do the command Relink files as I know where the rushes are. But what does it mean? And please how could I solve the problem? I have not tried to export it since the problem started (so I have no clue of it would export it or not). Thank you for your help.

Hello, Tom, when I go in library properties in the application and click modify, my only option is to change the Standard Gamut. When I click on cache, you cannot click on it... so I don't know how to do the process you advice.

You have the event selected not the library at the top with the four star icon. Sorry you have to click Modify Settings for Storage Location.

It looks like it’s the audio portion of the clip that turns red on some clips. Does the audio work where it’s red? If you have an external cache bundle the easiest thing is to dump it so FCP will rebuild the audio waveforms. That might fix it.

It’s best not to go inside the the library bundle lest you damage it inadvertently. In library properties in the application click modify and you’ll see the cache option. Set a new location outside the library. It will create a cache bundle external to the library. Close the application and move the cache bundle to the trash. Delete your FCP settings by holding Opt-Cmd as you launch the library. The application will rebuild the cache including the waveforms and filmstrips. Give it a few moments to do this. Are the waveforms still red when they’re recreated?

Thank you Tom. Yes, the audio is working. When you talk about the external cache bundle, where do I find it? Is it somewhere in the files of that picture below?
