Q: Restoring from Backup After Drive Crash
I was working off a hard drive on a fcpx project that crashed. The media was not located inside the final cut pro project file, but rather, in folders by day.
FCP X was backing up the project files to the cloud, and I have a current backup. I also have two extra hard drives with all the media on them.
When I try to relink the media to the backup project file I am unable to reconnect 90 percent of it. Everything that is an image, or stock footage, or a song reconnects fine. The problem is the clips I shot (on the A7sii) will not reconnect.
Some of the clips have the same names, but in different folders. There are two Clip 039 for example, as the Sony doesn't have complex naming systems. But the clips have different lengths.
Any advice on how to reconnect my media?
Thanks
Donovan
Also, I did convert to proxies, but I do not have backups of those, nor am I worried about them. I have plenty of time to make new proxies.
