Q: Event missing in FCPX 10.1

I have an event that's not showing up in FCPX, but it is there in the Finder, along with a CurrentVersion.fcpevent file

The media from this event is not showing as 'missing' (red) in the project, but simply as blank (black) clips, so re-connecting does not work.

How do i get these files back into the project?

I've tried removing the CurrentVersion.fcpevent and re-starting , but no change...

Final Cut Pro X, OS X Mavericks (10.9.5)

    Oh wait...

    When I replace the 'Missing' clips, they do not replace! ***?

    The clips play from the Browser, but when i drag them over the missing file and select 'Replace from Start' or whatever, nothing happens! The clip stays missing. This is seriously messed up...

    Funnier still, if I overwrite with these clips, they appear there on the timeline for a minute or so - and then turn into 'missing' files

    IIn library properties change the cache location, but do not copy over the existing files.

     

    it sounds as if you're saying clips are missing in the project not the browser. Make sure you relink the library not just individual events.

    Sorry, but I am utterly confused now.

    In FCPX I have a backup loaded that contains the project file and one of the events.

    The other  event used in the project is on a different volume - some, but not all of the media from this volume is shown as missing, and even if I re-import the missing files, they will play from the browser, but not in the project

    So my question is, where exactly should all the media files be, and what setting should I have in the Library Properties?

    II'm pretty confused too, but you should not re-import the media, you need to relink it using the relink function in the File menu.

    Got it now.

    The problem was that when I had tried to re-link files before, it wasn't seeing any missing files - until I selected 'all'.

    Thanks for your patience. Sometimes I miss the simplicity of FCP7!
