reconnect mystery
I have a 40 minute project almost done except for lowering some audio. So I throw away my loud quicktime mastered movie and a extra folder of tiffs to make room on my hardrives. All at once my 40 tiffs in my time line go off-line. No big deal, I have a folder on my edit drive of the same tiffs. I assume that the timeline was pointing at the folder of tiffs on my desk-top that I trashed. So I try to reconnect to the folder of tiffs on my edit drive, same tiffs, same names….. FCP can’t find them. The tiffs have the right name in the bin and in the header in the viewer. FCP calls them “unknown” when it trys to reconnect …. and it finds “unknown” in a mystery folder called ‘usr’ – usr/share/terminfo/75/unknown – and this ‘usr’ folder does not exist anywhere on any of my hardrives.. Do I need a priest to do an exorcist on my Mac? Or do I have to turn off match name in the reconnect dialogue and do 40 reconnects manually? FCP4.5 / Cinewave 4.7 / dual Gig / 10.3.7

Are you trying to reconnect in the T-L or the Browser?

I have tried selecting a group of tiffs in the timeline, a folder/bin in the browser and I copied the folder of tiffs back to the desktop hoping that fcp would think it was the original… fcp just starts looking for ‘unknown’ in non-existant folders

Try selecting all in the T-L and then file>reconnect media.
