FCS 2.0 Problems on Media Reconnect

[Cmpnsm]

I just upgraded to FCSP2 and am having the same problem. The only alternative I can figure so far is to recapture everything.

I’ve got a similar problem.

I HAVE A PROJECT CONSISTING OF AROUND 25 SHORT MULTI CAMERA MUSIC SEQUENCES THAT I’VE EDITED OFFLINE ON MY POWERBOOK G4(10.4.9)(FCP 5.0.4) AND I NOW WANT TO RECONNECT TO THE FILES I CAPTURED IN FULL RESOLUTION. ALL FILES ARE ON THE SAME LACIE 300 GB DRIVE. I AM NOW WORKING ON MY NEW MAC PRO(10.4.9/FCS 2).

WHAT SEEMS TO BE HAPPENING IS WHEN I TRY TO RECONNECT, I AM ONLY ABLE TO SEARCH THE SAME FILES THAT I AM ALREADY USING SO RECONNECTING TO THE FOOTAGE THAT IS ALREADY THERE. I’M CLOSE TO DEADLINE ON THIS SO I’M GETTING A LITTLE ANXIOUS. THE FULL RES PROJECT IS IN A FCP DOCUMENTS FOLDER ON THE EXTERNAL (MAC OS EXTENDED) HD AND IS FULLY VIEWABLE.

THE FINISHED PROJECT IS NOW AFFILIATED TO FCP6 AND THE FULL RES PROJECT IS FCP5. MAYBE THIS IS A PROBLEM TOO.

CAN ANYONE HELP PLEASE?

Apologies for the Caps – I’m pasting from another forum. It’s been a long frustrating day.

it’ll look where the original files were first.

just direct it to the new location.

manually if you want
or there’s even a button in the (white) reconnect window: search next directory.

and what excuse did you give to them?? 🙂

Thanks for that but the white reconnect window will only let me search the exact same file I am working on despite trying to re-direct it to my original project.
