Can’t relink files
Hello. I have some files missing in my project. The files are in my finder … but somehow FCPX refuses to relink them stating (I’m translating from French) that “The original file and the new file do not share any data range. To be linked, files must belong to the same data type, have audio channels similar to the original files, and be long enough to cover all the shots that reference the files.” … although I’m sure they are the same files.
Any ideas?
Thanks a lot !!

Hi,
So what is the process? Did you transfer these files from a different machine, or was it too long before you worked with these materials, and maybe you updated FCPX in the meantime? This error normally happens due to the Audio channels. Let’s say if the original files had 4 channels of audio, but the new files had 2 channels of audio, it won’t relink. As you are saying, these are the same files; maybe an update to FCPX may have caused this error. Unfortunately, I had this error several times before and never had a solution yet. You can check the number of channels of offline files, and after importing the files, you can check and see if they show the same or different in the inspector.
