reconnect media failed,,,why?
Hi
After recapturing a bunch of clips, I get the error message “unable to reconnect to file xxxxx, try recapturing” im paraphrasing here, but does anyone knows why this comes up? bad video? bad tc? bad harddrive? bad mojo?
thanx in advance

Have you recaptured using different settings? Frame-rate the same?

Sorry Bob – not familiar with edl imports, although it seems likely that fcp can’t get enough ‘hooks’ to reconnect this data. It uses timecode, reel info and clip name; if these all match….
I have found in the past that reconnecting individual clips or a small number can be easier than trying to get fcp to relink everything – sometimes a single clip, or a phantom media-manager clip (MM is a notorious glitcher in some versions of FCP) can cause a problem, where 99% are fine. Have you tried a random selection of single clips to see if ANY reconnect?
Sorry to be of little help. The Cow will know.
