  Finding Footage Location

  Posted by Michael Johnson on April 23, 2013 at 11:12 pm

  So I know some of you might laugh at this but here’s my question. I began to run out of room on my hard drive so I copied the project folder and all related folders, as well as the events folder to my other hard drive. Nothing would appear when I opened final cut so I kept both hard drives plugged in order to do the project but now I don’t know where to find the exact location of the missing files, also it seems to have saved certain parts of the project on one hard drive and other parts on the other hard drive.

  In order of priority:

  1. Is there a way to open FCPX and click on the media that is showing and find it’s origin?

  2. Can you move certain parts of one project over to the project even though they both carry the same name and are on different hard drives?

  Thanks in advance!
