asked to re-linking same files at launch
Before the splash screen clears at launch, FCP tells me it can’t find a file one at a time (about 25 of them) – I have to re-link them. After that I can work and use the project and files just fine. The next time I launch the same thing happens, I have to re-link them right at launch all over again. Any idea why FCP doesn’t remember the files? What can I do?
FCP 6.0.6
Mac OS X 10.5.8
MacBook Pro 2.2 GHz -

I noticed lots of people had this problem – I’ve read some posts as far back as 2006… I guess I’m not getting it though because I don’t seem to find the solution. Anyways if anyone reads this, I did try to use the rename function in the Modify menu, didn’t help. I tried cutting the footage from the project and re-importing, but that made it even worse. Now FCP is asking for clips that aren’t in the project anymore, and the re-linking prompts won’t let me work at all. I threw up my hands and am trying media manager. I don’t see how that could work though – – totally distraught!!! Any help would be appreciated. deadline in five days. sob.

Turns out that the QuickTime source files were the problem. I quit FCP and opened them with QuickTime Player and voila, the same relinking prompts appeared. I had to export the files in the same format to duplicate them and trashed the weirded out files. Lots of hours wasted on such a simple solution!
