How do I reconnect media in FCP-X?

this forum intends to help people with certain problems ... if you want to complain about FCPX go somewhere else please

Sorry, just correcting the lies and incaccuracies you're posting. Notice, you posted a year ago that forced relinking would be supported. Here's my question AND problem:

What happened?

We're on 10.0.7 by the way. Ooops, guess their talk of making a professional program was just to dupe more people into buying it.

You can relink footage. You select your footage and click the 'Relink' button.

What are you talking about? When you use the relink function you get this

You have the option to relink missing or all and select the files you want. It's basically the same interface as legacy FCP except darker with the same file restrictions.

i don't get your point .. apple solved that problem ... relinking footage is easy as it could be

Ha! That's so inauthentic, I just read pages of unanswered issues about linking problems. You commented on those same pages! Wow...

I can't re-link to anything other than exactly the same file, and for some reason FCX tells me that the same files are somehow incompatible.

I can't even re-link to files that are the same frame size and name, what is called a "forced relink." Are you saying that's easy as can be? Gee, turns out it's not. What, what a liar! It's like they just post on here so that consumers will read it and be fooled into thinking it's good software.

I've had that issue before. It is annoying and hopefully will be fixed with a 'forced relink'. But you can relink your footage easily unless you get the aforementioned bug.

what you are talking about is replacing footage ... wich is not working as you knwo it from other software but its possible

but i really don't like your way of communicating ... why you call me liar?

you didn't mention what you exactly mean and i thought you ment relinking to the same media on another location - wich is as easy as it could be.

@ Mephisto...

Brendan,

Since your main gig is as a web designer and you have only produced a few videos, I imagine that you will chill a bit once you get some real video production experience. You do not yet realize how valuable these forums are to professional editors. The people here are trying to help you. Doesn't matter if you are using FCP or any other video editing program... none are perfect, they all have issues... you shouldn't pi$$ off the people that you will need down the line.

If you really are so unhappy with FCPX, jump ship so we aren't forced to follow your silly and inflamatory comments.

If you want to actually learn about the application (the good and the bad) instead of simply complaining and attacking those who are trying help you, then Welcome. Otherwise, just go away.

My two cents.

I know I'm being rude, sorry. Just getting sick of the massive deluge of misleading info on here from the Applebots. You're clearly not one of them so I apologize to you.

I often find people very rude and flippant towards users who have problems. I get sick of these little "Nope, you're wrong." one-line responses that are completely unhelpful, and keep people with actual answers from replying because it looks answered. Tired of fighting uphill battles with people defending Apple rather than addresing problems.

You're free to say something useful as well, but you just used it for useless invective also.

My feeling is that Apple is paying people to keep these "discussions" looking positive. I want my comments to reflect the truth. Everyone is constantly shifting the conversation AWAY from the software, including you... ha ha.

read through the whole thread again ... (maybe in a few hours when you calm down a bit) .. you are the first here who's shifting the conversation away from the topic

you didn't asked something .. just started directly complaining and offending people

obviously that's your goal .. unless you have a certain question i'd suggest to shut off

Complaining about bad software and inaccurate comments you made. Sorry if I hurt your tender feelings.

I've posted my problems politely in numerous places and encountered only rudeness and lack of patience from people like you, so I just get sick of it. Unless you fight to get your comments heard, people just bury it in "Apple fixed it", which is totally untrue in this case.

If Apple were "paying people to keep these "discussions" looking positive" (for more on that concept, read this), they would have shut down this now-worthless thread some time ago.

Of course, I could just be another paid Apple stooge.
