Missing File Extensions
Hey guys I couldn’t find a thread about this. I was wondering if anyone has ever experienced missing extensions when they media manage their project. I have clips that I have to add .mov to the end of to make they QT files and then in my project I can’t re-connect the media. I have to do it individually in the time line. Any ideas?

The file extensions are there, they are just “hidden” by default by OS X. In the Finder window, if you right click on any one of the files and select “get info”, you’ll see that the “hide extension” check-box has been selected. Deselect it and your extension will appear.
You can change this default behavior in Leopard by selecting Finder>Preferences, click “Advanced” and select “Show all file extensions”

Amazing, I will give this a shot tomorrow and hopefully it will work. Thanks for the response!

There is a real problem with Log and Capture in Final Cut 7 with missing extensions when capturing
as Apple Pro Res. The mov extension is not there (not in get info, not when “Show Extensions” is enabled). I have had to copy and paste .mov onto file names. This is something that cropped up in
the last few months. The captured Apple Pro Res files will work on the system they were captured on
with the original project but as soon as the files are moved to another system or attempted to be imported into a new project, they are invalid files until .mov is pasted on the end. This is becoming a real pain. Has anyone figured out a fix for this? -
