  Playback problem – Canvas won’t display movie

  Posted by Gary Sprung on December 5, 2007 at 3:52 am

  We just moved a Final Cut Pro project to a new iMac 24inch 2.8ghz computer, on 500gb external drive. The movie does not show in the Canvas window. The Canvas instead has the big red bar with the words “Media Offline” and in smaller type, second line, “PrintToVideoVideo.” The clips in the Browser are NOT offline. We can select a clip in the timeline or in the browser and it will play in the viewer.

  Also, the audio does play through the Canvas/timeline.

  We have looked at the setting in FinalCutPro…Audio/Video Settings. The Video Playback menu has the options None or Digital Cinema Desktop Preview-Main (which I guess is our 24″ iMac monitor). Either way, the problem remains. Same with View… Video Playback.

  Anyone know how to fix this?

  Thanks,
  Gary

  Use Reconnect media and point to the Quicktime files on the hard drive.
