Can’t Reconnect Multiple files at once FCP 6
I’m using FCP 6 and am trying to reconnect multiple files imported from a data DVD into the timeline also provided on the data DVD. It is only allowing me to reconnect 1 file at a time. I have unchecked the “matched name and reel only” in order to access the files. I have never had any problems with this before. Could it be because the files might have come from an earlier version of FCP?
Is there anything I can do to make this process faster so I don’t have to reconnect each file one by one?

Which version of FCP 6? This “reconnect” bug was a problem in earlier versions, but I believe it’s fixed now. If you can (Not in the middle of a project), upgrade to the current version. It should work now.

this is definitely not fixed in 6.0.6. (actually i think 6.0.6 introduced it’s own reconnect issues). I have various systems…MacBook, all the way up to new Nehalem 8cores…and i’m seeing different variations of this quirk. won’t capture multiple clips in different locations…to not wanting to capture clips with different names….will capture clips in sa folder, but not the individual clips in the folder…oh yeah…and some systems seem fine….
i’m on the cusp of pushing our AVIDs aside for some of the finer points of FCP, but something like this makes me say….whoa there nelly…..
