Exporting list of missing files
Hello – Long story, but I need to decide if it’s worthwhile doing data recovery on the external drive that holds my FCP media. Is there a way to export the list of missing FCP project files to (for example) an Excel file.This would be helpful. Thanks.

Maybe Final Cut Library Manager can help you? I am not sure but Check the website.

I wonder if there is an identifier in an exported XML file.

Thanks – I don’t know. I’m no expert 🙂

But I was using Text Editor.
Im sure an XML reader would be best. -
Thanks!

Type “Missing” in the event viewer search bar.
This should bring up all the missing clips.
From there you can export an fcpxml. From there you’d have to parse the list for clipnames.
You could also bring in the fcpxml to Resolve and export an edl from there to give you a more readable list.

Related: I recently lost some media files on my external hard drive (and on the back up drive). Long story. I’m using Disk Drill to recover the lost files, but many are reconstructed with unintelligible names. I’m still running FCP7. Will FCP be able to find the files (by size etc) – or will I need to review each one, to restore the name I gave it in my FCP project? This may be tough with some files (like six different wind SFX). Any tips would be appreciated.

I created a little app quite some time ago (not Mojave compatible) which can do.
Create an XML and open that one with the app.https://www.spherico.com/filmtools/X-Files/X-Asset/XAU.dmg
