Recently just updated final cut to the newer latest version and now when i open my project the video clips look like they are missing or wont play but audio from the same videos plays. I reveal video in finder and try and play them and they wont play in quick time either it trys to convert them and then fails. They are .mov files. Anyone experience this?
iMac, OS X Yosemite (10.10.3)

What are the media specs? Where did it come from?

Hi Tom,
The link says, you may have black frames if:
"You're working with Panasonic AVCHD video files from an AVCCAM device recorded at 25p or 30p."
Can I know what id AVCCAM ?
I record a lot using Panasonic GH4 in 4K and Panasonic GX7 which is AVCHD.
Is my following assumption correct :
Assumption 1:
Panasonic GH4 would not be a problem bcos it records in 4K
Assumption 2:
My AVCHD from Panasonic GX7 wold not be a problem because all these while it ingest without problem. (NB: I dunno whether my GX7 records in AVCCAM)
Thanks
By doing this will I jeopardize losing any of footage? It says once deleted it cant be undone 😕
All the footage is shot on a gopro hero3+ black mainly in 1080 60 fps.

These *generated* files can be regenerated when necessary. These are NOT your original media files.
Out they go! The only way I can do that is by selecting the actual clips in the viewer at the bottom where my final project is, that is the correct way? And can I select them all or just the bad ones?
Do I need to re-add the media back in? If so could you help me with the steps, or is it automatic?

Hopefully, no.
It doesnt seem to have done anything.
The wierd thing is, and maybe this will help, The clips that do play I can reveal in browser, then reveal in finder, and it is in "Original Media" folder which i beleive is on the desktop and the .mov file inside does play.
When I do the same for the bad files, it opens up on the external hardrive where to footage was imported from and not in original media, and that .mov file WONT play in quicktime...
TThe 4K shouldn't be a problem. The AVCHD most likely will not work at this time.
Any ideas whats going on here?
I think I have a work around for this. FCPX isn't let me transcode AVCHD files properly. They import, but the transcode only covers a few video frames at the beginning of the clip (the audio seems to be there). Anyway, I opened iMovie and imported the clips from the AVCHD file to an event. Then, in iMovie, under File, Send Event to Final Cut Pro. Once the event is in FCP I can transcode it. Hope this helps you.
Anyone have something to try for my problem? Glad we're hittin two birds with one stone but I'm hangin here 😢
I think you should report your issue to Apple Feedback.
It sounds very similar to the Panasonic AVCHD issues others have experienced, albeit slightly different symptoms from a different camera.
Well its interesting how some of my clips are still there. When I go into reveal in browser, then reveal in finder, theres the .mov file. It plays on quick time and apears to be in "Original Media" located on the local HDD. When I do the same on the clips that dont show, when i reveal in finder it take me to where the original clip is on my external hardrive, which is a .mov file that does not play on qquicktime for some reason.
From what ive read those two problems dont seem to be the same at all?
Can you give any information about the specs of this media? What happens when you try to play it? What do you see in the Finder?
I updated to final cut X, 10.2 and now my video clips dont show in my project
