I’ve had an odd experience with Final Cut Pro 6 and I was wondering if anyone had this same thing happen or knew why it happened??
I opened a project and one of my music tracks was offline because the drive it was on was disconnected. Final Cut could not find it, said it was offline, yet it played and exported with the song.
Any ideas??

Hi Vicki,
That will happen if you’ve rendered the audio and the render files are still available. The same thing can happen if the video files are offline but the renders are still linked – plays fine even without the media.

So can you export it? If it’s rendered but the master file is offine?

You can export a QT ref/self contained movie, then do anything to the resulting self contained QT. However, if you send the original timeline to compressor or to Quicktime Conversion, the media will need to re-render each frame, thus will not work because it will not be able to re-render the frames with offline media.

I rather find this a blessing! Saved my butt once. I forgot a piece of media on a different drive while moving locations during an event,, but the timeline was rendered. I had the render folder and was able to export a self contained QT of the patch that was offline, import the QT Ref, and continue working away!
