  • The movie file “Filename (f-FIN-0000010e” cannot be found.

    Need to open a ProRes 422HQ (.mov) file rendered about 6 months ago, but unable to. Have tried FCP7, QT Player, QT7, & MPEG Streamclip. (& iMovie, just on the off chance.)

    Keep getting this message: The movie file “Filename (f-FIN-0000010e” cannot be found.

    Does anyone have any words of wisdom about this particular problem?

    You have a reference file not the actual self-contained movie file. Unless you have the render file, it will never play.

    Thanks, Steve. I’m currently searching Time Machine to see if the render file could be there.

    your render file is missing. most likely you may have lost it forever. if so, do you have your final export of that movie? you can import your previously “final” version of the movie into your timeline, and just use the final for the one scene that it looks like is missing.

    also, can you just re-render it? are you missing the assets you need in order to just re-render the movie?
