I think he trashed his audio….what do you think?
I am trying to help figure out what went wrong with a project my boss is working on. Here’s the skinny of it all:
He is working at his home. I am working at our studio. He captured using FW to a G-Raid 1000GB drive using FCP 5.1.2. The drive is MacOS Extended, not nearly full, pretty much brand new, no drive errors. He captured Audio and Video to separate files.
Everything worked fine for a few days.
He comes back to the project to find that the some but not all of his audio files are gone. He still has video for all his files, just about 80% have no audio anymore. He says that he saved, quit, and came back a few hours later to find the files gone.
He brings the drive to me and the first thing I do is look at the Item Properties for one of the clips. When I look at the Source….
“DriveName”:.Trashes:501:clipname-a’ is missing
So I get it. The last known place was the trash. Great.
If he hasn’t emptied his trash “maybe” those files are coming back. I don’t know the outcome yet as he is in the office and won’t be at his home computer for a few hours. [crosses fIngers]
Beyond giggling at this situation and shaking our collective heads is there something I’m missing about how those files ended up there?
I know he could have physically moved them, deleted them using the Make Offline feature, Media Managed, etc.. But is there some other technical problem I am not aware of that could be the cause? Some glitch the COW faithful have seen and can point blame to other than pilot error?
Anyone have any ideas? I’m pretty locked into pilot error and “sorry but you have to recapture” but I would love to have a “wunder-solution” that I never heard of.
Thanks for any advice.
Bob
