    Diva:

    It’s fine if your timeline says the media is offline. As long as it plays, it’s fine, not a big deal. Finish the DVD and fix it later.

    The files that are showing up offline, can you find them on the harddrive? Are they offline in your bin (not the timeline)? Did you move anything?

    John is right, your render files are online, but the corresponding clip might not be.

    The clips have no effects on them at all… two are uncompressed 10 bit which is what my timeline is set for and two others are QT Lossless with Alpha cause they are my effects. It does not show it needs to be rendered… it has already been rendered on the timeline and nothing has been moved. When playing back, the blue unrendered slate DOES NOT appear… the clips play back fine cause they are rendered fully on the timeline. The problem is their icon at the beginning of the clip has the media offline icon and in the bin the media files are showing connected… there is no red line to show they are not connected. When I start the project it says 4 files are offline but when asked to relocate it does not list any clips… it is blank. So there is nothing to allow me to reconnect.

    Jeremy…

    I am definitley moving forward to finalize… the spots have already been dubbed and sent to the TV stations… same for the DVD… it is off for replication. I just find FCP is acting really strange and Apple says it isn’t FCP and AJA says it isnt the video card.

    To answer your question… all media files are in the same place the Terabyte from the beginning. They are not showing offline in the bin and yes, they show rendered in full on the timeline and playback fine. Just trying to figure out where the hang up could be for the clips icon to constantly say media offline.

    I appreciate everyone’s help and suggestions. I am moving forward… thank you!!!!

    Have you trashed the thumbnail cache in your FCP documents folder on your scratch drive?
