Won’t redigitize offline clips! Help.
Using FCP 4.5
On a dual 1.4 G G4I’m having a strange problem. I was interupted yesterday after LOGGING dozens of clips using a PD 150 camera as a deck (I had no choice but I had used it without problem until this issue)
I restarted today and thought I could pick up where I left off by batch digitizing the clips I had logged. All my settings were correct:
(scratch disk/logging bin/reel name etc.The process looked like it was going smoothly and the dialogue box claimed that it had. BUT…
The clips were still off line when it was finished. Reconnecting media did not work.
I checked the fire wire drive that the clips had been digitized to and they seemed to be there until I tried to play them in the preview. They claimed to be healthy quicktime files but they were not. The colored beechball just spun away.
So I threw them in the trash and emptied it and to make double sure chose “Make offline” on the logged clips in question.
I restarted my mac and the cmaera/deck.
I changed the scratch disk and batch digitized again. Same thing happened.
Hope I am describing my problem with enough clarity. Anybody have this happen to them? Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance for any response…

The fact that the clips won’t play back happily from QT is troubling. Does a normal, non-batch capture result in the same issues? Have you tried trashing not only your FCP preferences, but your QT preferences as well? You may also want to try starting a new project, making absolutly sure that the capture settings are correct and bring your logged, off-line clips into that project. Running a disk tool (techtool, diskwarrior) on your capture drive might not be a bad idea either.
Good luck,
Mike
