Imported Event, Media Now Missing

[Shane Mcgee]

Update in case anyone runs in to this problem…

So i restarted a couple of time and BAM…footage is showing up in the event now. There is no analysis files or smart collections or whatever the right term is though, even they it DID analyze and transcode this footage.

Im right clicking and selecting analyze…hopefully this isn’t going to duplicate media?

Wierd. So did you copy the original media to the Final Cut Event folders, or are you referencing media from elsewhere?

Also, the analysis files live in the Event folder under “Analysis Files”. There are several types of analysis files. Stabilization, People and Color Balance. See here:

It doesn’t hurt to reanalyze, it will only analyze what is not already analyzed, and not overwrite anything.

As far as their smart collections not showing up that is another odd one, but you can recreate them.Select all your clips, right-click to analyze and make sure the “find people” and “create smart collections after analysis” is checked. It won’t actually do an analysis, just recreate the smart collections:

yeah i just re analyzed everything. It didn’t make double prores or anything just zipped through all the clips and did the auto analyze stuff and all is well now. weird little glitch though.

Where did you import from? Was this an Event from another drive?

Sometimes if switching computers and you had custom effects on the source machine and not the destination, the media appears offline, but it’s the filter that’s offline (the icon is a bit different, same red background). Either delete the filter from the clips or add the custom effect.

This probably didn’t happen in your case, but I thought I’d throw it out there.
