Toubleshooting: missing media clips
Brand new system, one week old, been working fine. I came back after a day’s absence and FCP tells me some of my clips took a walk and didn’t leave a forwarding address; restore or reconnect yields nothing. The autosave vault is empty.
I can see in my scratch drive the .mov file I want is there. But when FCP tries to play it or restore or import it, it says it can’t find Sequence2-FIN-00000026, and that without that sequence, it can’t play the .mov.
Searched all the drives for that sequence. In the trash is a bunch of sequences, but not that one, the one before it and after it are in trash, but not the one I want.
I have the mac pro self-scheduled to boot and turn off at 8AM and 5:30 PM but the external RAID is always on. Rebooting the external changed nothing.
How would you go about restoring this mov file? Is there another way to crack and re-save the already-done but unplayable .mov file and save me an afternoon’s worth of re-dos?
Any suggestions joyfully considered.
