loosing content of connected clips and secondary storylines
Hello,
I am working on my first serious project in FCPX an keep loosing the content of connected clips and secondary storylines!
Empty secondary storylines with fades remain.
VERY frustrating and embarrassing to explain to client!!!I back up the storyline every day, but it is a pain to recover!
I’m on OS 10.10, FCPX 1.4.
Any help greatly appreciated !!
Thanks ahead
Georg

When you import your media do you COPY it to the Library? This is the best way to ensure that nothing is ever missing or off-line.

If it’s just connected clips disappearing. I would assume this is unintended user error.
Use the tilde key (~). That keeps all connected clips in place when trimming, slipping/sliding, replacing clips in the primary.
If you have a connected clip and want it to remain in place while the primary clip is edited, hit the tilde first, then perform the edit.

Yes I do.

probably it is my error, I just don’t know what i do wrong!
I have no problems moving them around, but the keep strangely vanishing! -
When exactly do they vanish?
-
I wish I knew, but I think they get selected (outside of my visible screen)
through a keyboard command that I use! -
I’d start with using the tilde key before adding anything to the primary storyline until you figure out the cause.
I highly doubt any clips are simply disappearing without some sort of user interaction.

Thanks anyway , I will use the tilda from now on.

Could you post a screenshot? Are the files disappearing completely or are they appearing to be going offline/unlinked?
It does seem odd.
