    I was working in FCP 4.5 and was exporting to soundtrack when I got an error message telling me that I had 20 video files offline. I attempted to reconnect them, but they had disappeared. I’m working off of an external HD. I’d like to recover the files if I can, any ideas?

    Try locating them manually instead of having FCP search.

    I tried that and I tried searching for the files with finder. Couldn’t find one of them. Any other ideas?

    Hate to be the bearer of bad news. I can’t say I’ve ever experienced missing files unless they truly were no longer on the drive.
