    Surely there is a smarter way for reconnect to work. So I am hoping one of the many here who are smarter than I can tell me what I am doing wrong.
    Whenever I change a Live type element and then Save it in LT, then command Tab back to FCP, it tells me I need to reconnect.
    Then I have to browse to the folder containing the file and then tell it to connect. Why cant we just have a little check box that says “Duh, please look again”. It would save a lot of time.
    Is there someplace in FCP where I can tell it to just check again instead of having to do it for the application?

    Thanks!

    Odd, usually when I make changes to a LiveType movie and name the replacement THE EXACT SAME thing, FCP takes the old one off line, and simply reconnects to the revised one of the same name. I

    Its about 50/50 for me. It seems to get stuck at times and it can be really annoying when it does it over and over again. And clients love it…

    Then I will be quiet around my system and not let it know I’m getting off easy. Im sure the client loves it…

    So back to the original question. Is there a way to get FCP to “Look again”?

    Example:
    Editing. External drive gets unplugged. Oops. Gets plugged back in. FCP says it cant find the files.
    I want to press a button that says “Look again in the same location”

    Since we dont have that amazingly basic choice, I have to find each file again. With 300 files it can be quite anoying.
    These are files exported from another application and they are each in thier own folder, not in one folder.

    “Check Again” anyone?
