Copy library to new drive -- all clips no longer linked?
I made a backup drive of a large project. Everything identical. I closed the original drive. I gave the new drive the exact same name as the old drive. I opened the library. It asked me to reset the Storage Locations et al. I did this -- setting everything to match the original drive.
All the clips in the library appear offline. And it's half a day or more's work to relink everything.
If the whole setup is identical on both drives, meaning all the folder structures identical, why might FCPX be having trouble relinking the clips to the original media?
Do I also need to do a 'consolidate' after-the-fact? I don't want to do something wrong and make a mess of the new drive.
Is there something I should be doing differently in this process? We're talking 5 TB's of data. That's about 12 hours of data transfer. So if there is a fix to the current situation WITHOUT having to recopy the drive over, that would be terrific.
All ears,
Ben
