  • FCPx relink media files not relinking

    Posted by Cherin Bower on November 21, 2018 at 1:46 am

    Hello. I am running FCPx 10.4.4 and have a large library that has 259 missing media files. They are all stored on one drive in one location, among other unused media. If I locate them to the folder, FCPx says it finds matches, but when I click ‘relink the files’, the window closes and nothing relinks. I’ve updated FCPx, deleted preferences, restarted FCPx and my iMac Pro, all with no luck. There are no warnings that it is not working, it just doesn’t perform the task. If I navigate to a single missing media file it will relink, no problem, but I have no desire to do that 259 times.

    Thank you for any suggestions to try.

    What kind of media?

    Try selecting smaller batches and see if those relink.

    Try dragging and dropping files in instead of relinking.

    Hello! Same issue here after updating to 10.4.4
    If I try to relink each file one by one, pointing precisely to the file I want to relink with then i works, but if I try to batch, same issue as Cherin.
    Is that a common bug that should be repaired?
    Thanks for your help 🙂
