    Hi,

    A client just dropped off a drive with an “easy” fix on X, however his projects are from a previous version of X and I cannot update his Project/Events. I have placed them on an external drive in a
    Final Cut Projects
    and a
    Final Cut Events
    folder…..and when I navigate via LOCATE from File > Update Projects and Events…..I get a message that says
    “Final Cut Pro” could not find any projects or events to update”

    Does anybody have a clue what I am doing wrong.
    This “easy” fix has taken way too long and I haven’t even be able to open the project!!

    Thanks
    Sherril

    Make sure the events and projects match in their respective folders. This thread may help: https://forums.creativecow.net/thread/344/26709

    Also as a bit of business advice: when an easy fix turns out to not be, it’s wise to inform your client their project may involve more $ before taking tons of extra time to actually accomplish it.

    Hi Noah,

    I got the Projects and Events to update but all of the media was offline! When I tried relinking it wouldn’t because the “attributes” were different. I’ve run into this before! I found it very useful that I could override that dialog in 7…..is there a work around in X when that happens?

    Thanks

    It depends on the media. If it is identical it should reconnect. If it’s not- well… it would be good to track down where it’s different.
