  • Find Sequences with MIssing Clips and Missing Audio

    Posted by Dustin Parsons on May 13, 2008 at 2:06 pm

    Every time I open my project FCP tells me I have some missing clips (render files) and it’s been like this for a while, I’ve ignored it but now I want to fix it.

    I make a new sequence every day I work on the movie so I have a LOT of sequences. I have no clue which sequence(s) these missing clips are in and it would take an hour to go through them all. Is there a way I can search the Browser to tell me where these clips are in FCP?

    Thanks for you help!

    What version of FCP are you running? One post below this one has the same issue…and there was a bug in FCP 6.0.1 that was fixed in later updates. What happens in the original sequence will have links to all the files and renders, but duplicate sequences will lose that connection.

    Are the clips still on the media drive….or gone?

    Excuse me Shane for barging in, but Dustin’s problem sounds like a metadata issue.

    Dustin, if you have Disk Warrior you might try runnng it. If not, try running Fix Permissions using Apple Disk Utility.

    I’m pretty sure I deleted the media. They were Render Files and I cleaned those out not too long ago.

    I assume since they’re Render Files that the actual clips that FCP is looking for is not in any Bin in my Browser but exist only in a timeline.

    This is not an issue with disk permissions.
