Problems reconnecting media contd
Hi list,
I sm experiencing a problem reconnecting media in my FCP project. I lost my original captured media in a drive crash and am now trying to piece it together and could use some help. I am capturing material all my tapes again. I can even name them the same name. But I am recapturing tapes using capture now as I did originally and when I try to reconnect to ths media I get a different media lenght error. Presumably using capture now the media captured two differnt times are going to be diffent by a second or two. But will this prevent me from making the connection. All the timecodes are accurate within the media as I can track back to clips using TC but not the whole tape. Doing each clip manually will take ten times longer that reconnecting the media in one shot so I would be very happy if anyone knew of a fix for this situation.
Many thank as always,
Kevin

kevin,
Consider this a learning opportunity. You’ve just learned why if you ever want to “recapture” media, “log and capture” is the way to go.
Sorry.

your right. fcp looks for media that has exactly! the same length and tracks.
so capture now will never produce he media for you to be able to relink.have you tried to select the original MASTER clip(s) (the ones you first produced with your ‘capture now’ approach) in your browser and choose ‘batch capture’! this way fcp recaptures the clip exactly as it was. no naming or manually relinking necessary.
