Rebuilding an FCP X project

[Jeremy Garchow]

So, add all of those “2013……” folders to the favorites, then select one of the offline clips in your browser and choose the “reimport” option.

Also, you should have the XF plugin installed for FCPX.

Jeremy. Thank you so much for the perseverance.

So here’s what happened. In that directory that is is Wrest Park (below the 2013 directories), there are two other directors “Wrest Park 4” and “Wrest Park 5” i.e. cards 4 and 5. These were shot about 4 months after the first batch of cards.

I added all five directories to the side bar as you suggested, with the clips in two separate events “Day 1” and “Day 2”. If I go to the Day 1 event the “reimport” option is greyed out. In the Day 2 event its not and all the clips have relinked successfully. Yeh!

In day two the clips all have “Canon XF” in the camera name but in the Day 1 clips, the camera name is the folder number.

If I drag the clips from Day 1 into day 2 it still won’t let me relink those files. So there must be an problem with those directories I would guess.

Thanks so much for all that help.
