  • Reconnecting: “the file does not have proper content…”

    Posted by Elise London on November 11, 2009 at 9:57 pm

    HELP!!!

    I have moved all my project’s media to another drive and am trying to reconnect. I have NOT amended any of the media files themselves in any way, yet I get the following error message when trying to reconnect:

    “the file does not have proper content to reconnect to …. (clip name) in sequence (sequence name) … Click “OK” to make this item independent and go to the next clip or “Cancel” to skip all clips from this file.”

    Nothing’s reconnecting. Help. I see no reason why this should be the case, since I’m referencing the same exact media as on the previous drive.

    Thanks a lot!

    Try moving the media with media manager just copying it, and creating a new project file with media manager. It will open reconnected to the copies… works every time.
