Deeply Discouraging, Media, Voiceover .IAF’s Deleted or Gone from “Original Media” FCPx Folder

[Shaun Knapp]

Dave Jenkins,

It is interesting that if I go now, do a fast recording, the new voiceover file is in the Original Media folder, not just as an alias, but the actual file is there. So I’m mystified as to what took place to remove all the original files I’ve recorded in the past month and left only aliases.

Yeah, files don’t delete themselves, but something is screwy. And how is it that also appearing in this weird location of /var/folders/ on down to that T folder, as a temporary item? Two screen shots showing the duplication of the same file, in two different locations:

And here, in that folder found deep into the /var/folders/_____….

Ill-advised not to update- as you’re missing a massive amount of new features and likely the cause of your deletion woes. Sorry we cannot be more help but we generally predicate advice on being up to date with the app.

I’m going to update the app today, seems the best recourse on a number of fronts. This will require updating the OS as well.

I hope I can have a proper backup, as I’m in the middle of a project with nearly 400 instructional videos that need to be output. It would be a disaster to upgrade and have something major go wrong with all those timelines.

I am buying another hard drive today to make a clean backup of this project. Any tips that anyone would have me be aware of on doing this backup and making the upgrade?

I sure appreciate all the good help you guys offer here on this forum. So cool of you.

Well, as I backup events and libraries to external hard drives preparing to upgrade, FCPX freezes, has to be force quit and re-opened, and then this strange message pops up. Good heavens. It’s not talking about the root or boot drive as a place of storage? I’m too tired to really cognate this one right now, plenty that is screwy going on.

Maybe I can blame Russian hacking or NSA surveillance, CIA, or FBI meddling? Lol.

Of course, MSNBC even reported in 2003, a story that was rapidly buried, of the FBI asserting itself with passage of the Patriot Act with their treasonous “Project Magic Lantern,” which was to inject anyones computer with key-logging software. Sicko dems and repubs back this kind of nonsense whenever “their” folks are in the White House and or Congress. (If only I were someone worthy to target and have meddling going on my machine, right?)
