Upgraded system drive to SSD, now FCPX won’t properly open Library

[Dustin Bowser]

Regarding the offline media — When I attempt to relink files, in the Relink dialogue, I don’t know how I’m supposed to connect back up to the media inside the Library. The Finder dialogue that comes up doesn’t allow me to go inside the Library itself, so it just says it can’t find the media, even thought I know it’s in the there.

I also can’t find in 10.1 where the “Modify Event Reference” dialogue is, which used to be in the Inspector in the Project View, so I can attempt that as well.

I’m excited to actually start editing one of these days, after the several days of wasted media management time…

Go into the Library package and make an Alias of your “Original Media” folder on the desktop or wherever. You should then be able to navigate to it in the relink dialog…

What can I do to get past the “Loading Project into Timeline Dialogue”? I can’t even get into my project.

[Dustin Bowser]

It seems that every project in this library is showing up with media offline, and just beach balls when I try to load it.

It’ is many projects.

Is there any way to just have all of the databases rebuilt for the events and the projects that things will relink within the library. What’s crazy is that all of the media is packaged up nicely in the library with it, so why I’m having this issue I don’t understand..

Perhaps it’s a permissions issue?

Can you drag a library from that drive to another?

Can you drag anything else to the Mavericks drive?

[Dustin Bowser]

The Library is 1.6 TB. I can drag files back and forth between the drives in the finder if that’s what you mean.

This whole project is a complete mess now, with certain things linked every which way. What would be the best way to completely start over, leaving the Events just as they are, but linking to the Original Media in a NOT managed FOOTAGE folder, and have the Optimized Media and Proxy Media inside the managed folder, and then have all of the projects relink freshly back to these events?

There are many events, and many projects, so I’m hoping there is a way to kind of do this in one foul swoop rather than project by project.

I’m just looking for a way to get freshly back to a place where I can work. I’ve wasted two whole days on this media management insanity, and with a quickly approaching deadline this is making me more frustrated with this program than ever.

Also what’s interesting, some of the clips that are offline, if I go to the info Tab in the inspector, it says that the Original, Optimized, and Proxy media are all available, and if I click the Reveal in Finder button, it will pull up the clip in the finder, but in FCPX it’s giving me a red “Missing Files’ Image, but it doesn’t say Missing File or Missing Proxy, it’s just the Red Image.

Also in case it’s of relevance, a lot of the clips have CoreMelt Lock & Load applied to them. I’ve tried both having the plugin installed, and uninstalling it to see if that was the issue, but it isn’t acting right either way.

Meaning some things re linked others aren’t?

[Dustin Bowser] “What would be the best way to completely start over, leaving the Events just as they are, but linking to the Original Media in a NOT managed FOOTAGE folder, and have the Optimized Media and Proxy Media inside the managed folder, and then have all of the projects relink freshly back to these events?”

First, Optimized and Proxy media are always in the Library. Why do you need Original, Optimized,AND Proxy?

Next, what is your source footage?

Was this project started in 10.1 or 10.0? Did everything work before the SSD upgrade?

Also, do you have a backup of the Library from before you did this:
