    Posted by Mandy Leonardo on May 1, 2018 at 4:17 pm

    I just got a new mac and having issues relinking files to projects. I had used an external drive to do all of my editing and that’s where the files are. The raw media is also in FCP and playback is fine…it’s just the Projects that are missing media.

    When I try to relink, it finds them on the external drive and relinks, but then there is no video, just audio. Any ideas on how to fix this?

    Also, this is only happening for some projects….there are several that are in there just fine. It’s also worth noting that when I installed FCP on my new computer, it installed an updated version. Not sure if that has anything to do with it.

    Are you sure it’s media that is missing and not a filter, plugin, or motion template?

    Ah I think your right! I used a plugin on all of them for color. How would I go about finding it?

    Nevermind I figured it out. Yes it was a plugin issue. Thank you so much!
