Reconnecting Media
My harddrive crashed and I lost half of the tapes that I digitized, I copied them back onto the harddrive from a backup drive and was able to reconnect everything in the browser (but only one clip at a time). Unfortunately, I have tried various things, but the sequences in the timeline are still offline. Do I have to go in and reconnect all of those clips one by one as well? I have been able to do it this way, but is there an easier/faster method? Thanks in advance for any suggestions that anyone can give me.

Hi Melissa,
When you open a project and there is media off-line, FC asks if you want to reconnect the media all at once.

Highlight a clip on the timeline. Apple-9 shows the clip info. Go to logging. If you don’t see a path to the clip or its filename, it means the project has lost any reference to the file. In this case each clip must be connected individually, and usually it’s a mess.
If you can see the path and filename, all is well. Close the clip info window. Select multiple clips on the timeline. Right click (or cmd-click) on one of them and select reconnect. The clips should be found automatically. Click connect to finish the process.
Good luck
FRegards
