Why do my VoiceOver files disappear in Final Cut Pro?

When I use the Record Voiceover tool it record in the project timeline but when I click stop it disappears. I can locate the file in my Media location, however it's just an alias. I can find the original file located /Users/Library/Containers/com.apple.FinalCut/Data/tmp/TemporaryItems/NSIRD_Final Cut Pro_KGbswJ

Why is this file not staying in my media location? Its an external SSD

Several folks are experiencing a VO bug. You're not alone.
