  • My Live Type Animations are not relinking…

    Posted by John Grilli on November 6, 2005 at 7:05 pm

    I just upgraded to FCP 5 Studio and Tiger and now FCP tells me my old Live Type animation files are missing. Here is the problem…there not! I can open each animation from the browser into Livetype and it is there, I tried to save, save as… but no luck opening these new ones in FCP.
    I then created a new project, copy & pasted the tracks from the old file into the new one, saved, imported and all is fine. I have about 150 animations and really don’t want to recreate all of them, Is there something I can do so that FCP5 will see my old existing Livetype animations? and relink them? Thanks, John

    You might try trashing your FCP Preferences.

    Click the following link for instructions.

    A great way to do this is to use “FCP Rescue” a free Apple Script that will Trash the Preferences for you (and restore nearly all of your user settings afterward).
    There are versions for FCPro & FCExpress.

    Download these free Apple Scripts at

    This is one FCP tip that has helped in hundreds of “odd” problems.

    I had a similar problem whrn I upgraded to FCP 5. Rather than trashing the preferences for FCP, try trashing the preferences for Live Type. After I did this, older projects relinked worked OK in FCP 5.
