  • Trouble linking flip cam footage AMA

    Posted by Jason Johnson on October 15, 2012 at 3:52 pm

    I have some flip cam footage that I have loaded onto a G-RAID drive and I can’t seem to get it to link to AMA. Whenever I try to link to the footage I get an error message “There were errors linking AMA files.” I also cannot import the footage. The weird thing is, when I put it on my desktop I can link to it no problem. Any ideas why I can’t link to it off of a drive? I’ve tried it on multiple drives.

    Shooting blind here…
    Long pathnames? Funny chars (accents) in the pathnames?
    Network drives do not work (but you get an error message about that…)
    Fat32 formatted drive? (that ‘should’ work, but hey, one never knows…)
