Q: Final Cut Pro Media Manager Error

Hi,

Despite using FCP 7 for many years all of a sudden we're getting the following error message when trying to consolidate our project using Media Manager. We've setup the destination etc as per usual, however it won't write to the external drive. Here are screen grabs of the errors.

iMac with Retina 5K display, OS X El Capitan (10.11.5)

Ah. The old "Let's put media files INSIDE the FCP app" error. Use the Disk Utility to Repair Permissions. And then trash your FCP Preferences. PREFERENCE MANAGER from Digitalrebellion.com does this, and it's free

Hi Shane,

Thank you for your response, though in terms of resolving the issue I'm not sure what you mean?

Kind regards,

Go to your APPLICATIONS folder. At the bottom is a UTILITIES folder. Open that. Look for DISK UTILITY. Open it. Click on your system drive and choose REPAIR PERMISSIONS. This should be something you do fairly regularly anyway.

Then, go to digitalrebellion.com and download PREFERENCE MANAGER. This will, with one button, allow you to trash the 3 FCP preferences that might be corrupt. This also is done often, if FCP acts at all screwy.

Hi Shane,

Thank you for your advice, unfortunately in Disk Utility the repair permissions option has been removed as we're using El Capitan, apparently repair permissions is now taken care of automatically.

Any further thoughts?

Kind regards,

Tom

You still haven't addressed trashing your FCP preferences with Preference Manager.
