Files lost durring relinking in FCPX

[Nick Papadopoulos]

This happened to me today as well. One of our major clients – 12 minute highlight programme all video files gone while relinking. The library was local on the system, but the footage was over 1 Gbit ethernet and the drive was mounted over network.

Did your footage exist on the network by any chance? This was on FCP X 10.1.1 and OS X 10.9.2. I have sent a bug report twice. The first time I got a reply from apple saying that the only recommended protocol is XSAN and not ethernet, but they’ll pass this information on to the right department. Second report was today, so no idea when and if they reply…

So in an attempt to track this down, I believe it has to to with media residing on the network. Was that the case for you?

I also just experienced this. Working with a thunderbolt raid. I also had a second user accessing the raid through thunderbolt sharing.

Any ideas on how to prevent this from happening in the future?

It happened yet again on 10.1.3 and 10.9.5 Mavericks. Complained to Apple numerous times, but we can’t seem to track it down. Happens more with complex projects and media stored over Ethernet. But has happened to me on internal HDD storage as well. I’m afraid to relink and have become strict about camera archives!
