FCPX PEACHPIT Media Problems – Not Showing Up in LIbrary
I’m having zero luck getting the media on the discs of the Apple Pro Training Series FCP X Advanced Editing to work in FCP X. Unlike the first discs, the APTS show up in the Library, and in the timeline, as do the folders. However, no disclosure triangles or access to the lessons or the media from the software.
From the Finder I can see the media and the lessons so I know they are there, but FCPX cannot see them for some reason. I’ve ditched preferences, run permisssions, all the regular stuff, even tried opening the software by dbl c’ng a lesson file, all to no avail.
Any help greatly appreciated.

Are the APTS’s isolated in a folder on their own? Sometimes the presence of a DCIM folder confuses X into thinking it should only look for photos.

Thanks for responding Paul, yes, the APTS. folders are alone, as a matter of fact I tried cleaning out the whole drive except for Sparse images for ADV., and no luck. It is odd, I can open each and see the lessons and the media with the finder, but the only thing that shows up in FCPX is the drive and folders with no disclosure triangle or any way to access either the media or the lessons.

I think you should copy everything from one of the folders into a new folder on your desktop or some other media drive, then eject the APTS just to make sure it’s not availabe and see if FCPX recognizes the media. I’m betting it’s something in the folder structure of the APTS itself that is freaking FCPX out. When you can see the media and all in the Finder that’s usually the case. Like I said with the DCIM folder example, I had copied a photo shoot card to the root of a hard drive and when I launched FCPX the drive would appear, the events would populate and then line by line they would disappear and then the drive would just vanish. Once I moved the DCIM from the root to just inside a non-root folder FCPX was able to access everything.

call them and they’ll give you a download link. FCP update messed with compatibility from older images on the disks.

Thanks Craig, they have a link in the back of the book which did not work after download, I will call them on Tuesday and see if they have something better or more recent. I hope you are right, thanks again.

The FCPX sparsebundle must not be on a locked volume, which is what the APTS_FCP_X_2e.dmg is. Put the APTS FCP X.sparseimage in a regular HD , then mount it and everything should be fine…
