  I Import using Copy into library, but Show in Finder shows original clip?

  Posted by Tim Jones on September 23, 2015 at 6:00 pm

  I just noticed something in 10.2.2. An old project that has come forward from 10.1 (and was upgraded) has an oddity when I search for clips in the library using the “Show in Finder” menu option.

  On a new project with imported media using “Copy To Library”, using “Show in Finder” takes me into the fcpbundle library folder “Original Media” folder as I would expect. However, with the older project, when I choose “Show in Finder”, it takes me to the original location (which was luckily mounted at that moment) that the file was imported from. If I then check the fcpbundle “Original Media” folder, the file is also there.

  Interesting oddity, or a bug that should be reported?

  Is the file in original media an alias?

  No – that’s my conundrum. It was copied into the library during import as defined by the “Copy into library” setting. Both files are the real things.
