“Media Offline”, corrupt files? HELP!!!
Hey guys,
ok so this is my BIG problem…I was in charge of editing a video for my aunt and uncles anniversary. So I uploaded the footage I had from my Sony HDR-XR100 Handycam, onto my Macbook PRO on FINAL CUT PRO 6.0.6.
Everything worked fine. I managed to edit a vast majority of the clips. THEN…everything started to freeze frequently, and I had to re-do my project over, and over again.
FINALLY, one day it just all crashed…all the files went bad, saying “Media Offline” and things just went haywire.
Basically, my questions are…
1) I NEED these files back 🙁 how can I recover them???
2) Why do you think this happened!? “Media Offline”, etc.
Also, when I plug my scratch drive (a 120GB Western Digital drive), sometimes nothing comes up. I know the files are still on there, its just…corrupt? Not recognizing?
Anyways, SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is really important and any help would be amazing. THANK YOU!

Right-click (or control-click) on an offline clip either in the timeline or the browser and choose “reconnect media.” When the reconnect dialog box pops up, click “search” and FCP should find the missing files.

Every final cut has an autosave vault, try their
also try not searching and clicking find where you manually find where you originally imported the video from
