File Missing (Media Offline) in Final Cut Pro
Dear all,
I use power book G4 with 1256MB of RAM for editing with Final Cut Pro 5.
I set the scratch Disk to an external hard disk.
but, why while i was doing the editing, some files suddenly gone (become missing)??
please help me with this.Danny

did you move any materials to other folders? I have found that FCP is very picky on where files live. If the files still exist on the drive, you should be able to re-connect the file.

This happened to me, and Ned Soltz as well, a couple of times in FCP 4.0. It appeared to have gone away with 4.5. I certainly hope it hasn’t resurfaced again in 5.0. The only solution is to recapture the missing clips.
