  • relink source files in proxy editing project

    Hi,

    I’m in the middle of edit a feature documentary using proxy media in FCPX.

    My external hard drive where all my source files are, have some problem and I now should change the location of all the files.

    I understand usually I need to relink the files in the new location. But in this case, I wonder which media I should relink. I don’t want to relink them to the original medias because the project will be then too heavy to edit.

    If the proxy medias are in library (transcoded media folder), the project still shows the clips, I found. But how do I make the proxies to link to the original folder in a new location??

    Select the clips you want to relink in the browser.

    Choose File > Relink Files > Proxy Media and point FCPX at the location where your proxy media is stored.

    Thanks Jeremy,

    Then should I relink the original files all again in the same way for the later export?
