  • How to recover a workable FCP file when source files have been deleted

    Posted by Arturo Celleri on February 9, 2006 at 8:35 pm

    Not knowing how to archive properly, I deleted some files that are associated with my FCP project. Now I have the FCP file but when I try to load it up it tells me that it requires all of the files that I deleted. Big lesson learned. I have DVD’s of the movie in NTSC format. My goal is to have the DVD in PAL format. How can I do that?

    If it’s a matter of merely reloading clips from source: right click on the missing clip, choose “batch capture” and reload the media from source reel(s). This is basic FCP.

    after you recapture your footage and complete the project you can turn it into a pal movie with compressor.

    Or you can get a package from Nattress.com that will do just as nice of a job, but much, much, much faster than Compressor!

    Wow! I’ve had accidental double posts before, but this is my first QUAD!
