P2 HD reconnecting problems
Cutting on Intel Dual 3Ghz, 7GB ram
OS10.4.11 FCP 6.0.4
I had a drive die on me last week and so lost all of my capture scratch etc.
I have recreated all of the quicktime files from the original P2 cards and now I am trying to reconnect the files in my FCP project. The only problem is it’s a huge project and FCP is only able to reconnect one file at a time. I have ‘reconnect all files in a relative path’ selected, but that doesn’t help.
Is there a work around out there… or something I’m missing?
Thanks

YOu did it wrong. What you needed to do was connect the drive with all your P2 backup folders on it, then highlight the clips in the Browser, and then choose BATCH CAPTURE. FCP will prompt you asking “where is the card with this footage.” You navigate to the card and, if your file structure remained the same, FCP should find the rest….and it will import the cards again and reconnect the imports to your clips.

Cool. Would that work with over 100 cards that we shot no problems?
Since I have made all the quicktime movies again and they all match up with the same names, shouldn’t FCP then be able to match them all again? I’ve been able to do that on other projects before, just not now.

I haven’t tried over 100 cards, but it did work for me over 28 cards. Just imported everything.
It also should work the way you described, as long as the file names didn’t change at all. But there is an issue with FCP looking for the “” name and not a real name..just the quotes. But I thought that was addressed with later versions. Are you running the latest FCP?
