  • Random offline clips when using FS700

    Hey there.

    Background: I am working with FCP7 on 10.6.8. As far as hard drives go, this problem has hit me on USB 2 & 3 and firewire800 drives.

    Either way, I’m working with footage that I shot on an FS700 (to the SD card) and I’m having huge problems.

    I bring in the ProRes footage with Log and Transfer on FCP7 and all works fine. I start editing without problems, but then something weird happens.

    Sometimes when I open FCP again, it says random files are missing. I check the Capture Scratch and they are in fact, not missing. They are right there. I reconnect the files, but then instead of bringing the right files, it brings in random ones.

    Say, clip 100-120 are offline, when I reconnect the files it brings in clip39-59. So the file says clip100, but it’ll be the same thing as clip39.

    Then, when I go back into the Capture Scratch, the files have literally been re-written so that clip100 is literally the same as clip39.

    What’s going on here?

    Sounds like a job for Disk Warrior. It rebuilds your disk’s directory. I use it once a month to prevent weirdness and always when weirdness strikes. IMHO, it’s the one program every Mac user should have. It’s saved me many times.
