Select Eye of the Tiger in the browser. What does the Inspector say about it? Select the 'i' at the top for Info and set the metadata view popup at the bottom to Extended. Post screenshots.


Open Eye of the Tiger in QuickTime Player and press Command-I to show the Info window. Twirl open all the details and post a screenshot.


Have you tried deleting Render files? Select the library in the browser, choose File->Delete Generated Library Files... Choose All Render files. Manage render files in Final Cut Pro for Mac - Apple Support 


Have you tried resetting FCP Settings? Hold option and command while launching FCP and choose Delete Settings. FCP will open the default Untitled library. Set your preferences back to the way you like (disable background rendering, etc.). Open the library you were working on and see if the problem has been resolved.
