Media offline in Final Cut Pro
I´ve overwrote my film project on my Mac Mini, with new edited files from my external harddisk. When I open the project in Final Cut pro, some clips in the timeline are offline. Still I can play it as normal, and export it as normal. When I click on the clips / go reconnect media (it finds the source automatically), it goes back to online…, but only for some time.
Does anyone have a clue what this is?
If I play it from my external harddisk everything is fine…Kristine

So basically, the thumbnail isn’t showing up in the Timeline. Could be a glitch, could be because of where your media is located (is it on the boot drive), but it sounds like it’s not keeping you from working. Am I right?

Thanks for a quick response.
Yep. 5d here as well. Thought I had everything worked out, but nooo…
The media is located on the bootdrive.
No, nothing is keeping me from working, except worries that something is wrong, and that the whole thing will crash anytime, and I won´t make it to the deadline.I saw a similar thread, where they´ve succeded by erasing the thumbnail scratch disk. So, I might try that.

Good idea. Wish I’d thought of it. 🙂 I’ve learned with FCP that if it doesn’t keep me from working, it’s probably not worth messing around with. There are quite a few bugs and odd behaviors that I generally ignore. And, yes, the whole thing might crash at any time, but that’s not because of thumbnails, it’s just because FCP has some issues. That’s why Autosave is so great.
