Oh, i must have clicked the “trash all converted files and leave the unconverted ones as unusable” option.

Yes I screwed up!

Thanks, Mark

Mark, Nobody knows and I never claimed to.

I just consider “bugs” to be things that happen to everyone because they’re flaws in the underlying code.

I consider everything else to ba “anomalies” – some of which are, yes, caused by program not getting everything right – but a WHOLE lot more of them are caused by people who don’t understand how the program works and therefore are screwing things up via their actions.

I have NO CLUE which category this singe instance falls in.

I just know there’s a real difference between those categories.

Simple as that.

Know someone who teaches video editing in elementary school, high school or college? Tell them to check out http://www.StartEditingNow.com – video editing curriculum complete with licensed practice content.

“I have NO CLUE which category this singe instance falls in.”

Thanks, Mark

I have a vague memory that FC gives you the option to save or delete the old libraries when updating to the new ones. So maybe your hard drive crashing left the files in the trash with no new ones at the ready. It’s probably rare that a media drive goes south in the middle of this update the libraries dance.

At first I thought apple had really messed up the first time I was asked to update the libraries. Wow that seemed radical. But now we’ve gone through this several times and for many it’s been flawless transitions and very fast.

Recently FC crashed one me and an event lost all it’s imported media. It was still saved in the finder but that was the first time FC ever lost files and I use this program a lot. Most of the time when it crashes every is still where I left off.

” It’s probably rare that a media drive goes south in the middle of this update the libraries dance.”

My drive did not crash in the middle of updating the libraries, it crashed weeks before and is no longer available, one of the projects FCP was updating had media on that drive, There were projects from 4 drives, one was no longer available the rest were, FCPX asked for the drive but it was not available so I hit cancel leaving all my old libraries un-updatable because FCP updated then but put the updated ones in the trash.

Thanks Mark

Thanks, Mark

Maybe as a response to your telling FC to abort its mission? I agree there should have been a less destructive response or at least a warning dialog box that canceling would mean …

A better choice would be to update them as needed one at a time.

I can’t imagine having every project in the same library. I use sparse bundles (for a different reason) but they prevented this from occurring.

Who says you need to? That being the whole beauty of the new model: you don’t have to nor is there any reason to.
