In need of assistance. My nearly completed feature film won’t load in FCPX!!!
-
Sadly not… this is the problem – I’ve double clicked, triple clicked, quadruple clicked and the HUD i get does not mention Compound clips anywhere…
The only menu that pops up is “Audio and Video” “Video only” “Audio only” and “stills”
What am I missing?!
Where is the compound clip filter?!

EDIT – OK SO FIRST YOU HAVE ADD A FILTER – AND THAT FILTER HAS TO BE ‘CLIP TYPE’ – this is what I was not doing… It was creating the default filter, which is “media Type” and that does not have a compound clip option…
So I have added a “clip type” filter, and selected smart collection… NOw i will go back to the rest of your instructions!
Thanks very much, I’ll let you know how I get on…

So I think we have a different problem after all that…
WHen I filter the compound clips, one compound clip appears, it is in fact online – but this has always been online and I have no idea why this CC is online and others are not – As for the CC clips that are offline (there are only two of them) they do not show up in the filtered list of CC clips – not even offline – there is no beach balling either – the computer is not thinking about it or processing anything – it is like the CC clips are not there at all.
The only place I can see the compound clips is on the timeline – where they say “event Missing”… Did yours say “event missing” or just “offline”?
Sorry for the slow start… I guess I will have to find another method.

WOW!!!
Thanks Marcus for putting up with my incredible slowness…
I have fixed it and I’m shocked that it worked….
Basically I got my wife to go into my computer at home and send me the ‘current version” fcp file from the New Event folder. I then simply put this event into the C drive of my current laptop using the correct folder structure – so the ‘project’ is reading from two events – one on my external hard drive and one on my C drive.
I have no idea why or how, but the Compund CLip that I created must have been referencing the New Event on the C drive of my other laptop in London… The laptop I am editing on now in FInland has all the media apart from one tiny bit of meta data that somehow didn’t make the journey with me…
I guess the lesson is to be super careful where the meta data for the compound clips is being saved – I thought it was on my external hard drive but it was in fact on the C drive of my other laptop…
So pleased that nightmare is over!!
Thanks Marcus.
