Additional files created in Pro Res Export??
I have been using final cut pro for about 6 months now. I’ve switched over from a Sony Vegas Work flow that I used for several years. I have exported lots of ProRes Files but recently I have been noticing that when I export a Project several other files are created. Here is a screen shot: https://www.cl.ly/2b2h0f0d3i1V0j1Q1G1g
Im not sure if I changed a setting but it seems the main file is dependent of these other files for playing. I cant seem to find any articles or topics on this unless im looking in the wrong place but I did make sure that “make a self contained file” was checked. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

That happens when your media drive is incorrectly formatted as FAT32 rather than Mac extended. FAT32 has a 4Gb file size limitation, so it creates segmented files when you exceed 4Gb. You have to move all files off that hard drive and reformat it using Disk Utility.

David, You nailed it. Thank you very much. I had Just started using my external Video drive from my Windows Workflow. I will Change up my Drives.
