  • HELP Clips going OFFLINE!!!

    I just logged a bunch of clips from vhs and now they are “OFFLINE Unrendered”. I’m using G4 1.25 GHZ Dual Processor, 1GB DDR SDRAM, FCP 4.5 and Formac Studio to log the video which is vhs using S-Video. My project is saved on an external hard drive, my capture scratch is on the standard internal HD. I started a project years ago that I just picked up again. I just recently logged and captured the footage that went offline. I think I was moving around some wires and accidentally knocked my external hard drive switch that shut it off while open.

    Another thing I could use help with. My mother board and logic board fried on my G4 years back. Comp USA fixed it. I use to have a 2nd internal hard drive that my system no longer recognizes. How can I locate in and reinstall it? I don’t know if I have the discs or not.

    If your external drive disconnects then the offline clip message will appear. If you save the project with those clips offline, then you need to reconnect the drive and then reconnect the media.

    Using your internal drive for capture scratch is also not recommended.

    Thanks for the reply. So I should use the external HD for capture scratch?

    Would you happen to know how to re-format the added internal hard drive (I added a 250GB years ago) that the G4 no longer recognizes?

    The important thing is to avoid having media on your system drive.

    If you have another internal, then it should be formatted to Mac extended.

    Any chance you can walk me through how to locate and format the hard drive? I’d prefer to not lose what is on the hard drive.
