  Files Missing Entirely!

  Posted by Harvey Malone on May 7, 2010 at 5:51 pm

  I just reopened a saved FC Express file to discover that it cannot locate some media. So, I go to reconnect and the media files no longer exist. I looked for them throughout the system (including invisible files) and they do not exist on my computer. Some are used in the project, some are not.

  System Mac OS 10.6
  Final Cut Express HD 3.5
  Project is contained on computer (no external drive) in one folder

  Timeline:

  Saved and closed 1 minute FC document (all in working order)
  Quit FC
  Logged out of user
  Logged in as new user (where I have airport enabled)
  Checked messages, etc… for 1 hour
  Logged out
  Logged back into my “video editing” user
  Opened FC project and missing media

  How???? What??? Why??? HELP!

  Run DiskWarrior. You might have a corrupt directory. Then Repair Permissions.
