So I think I may have solved my issue. I noticed my clip info was showing my proxies as online, but the original media was not available (little red triangle). When I clicked the “locate in finder” next to the media available it was pathed to a folder above the actual folder the media was living in. These are sony slog clips and there are 3 subfolders, one of which contains the media and meta data, and it was pointing to the folder above the media/meta data folder.

When I originally imported these, I did not select individual clips, but rather the 6 parent folders that housed my media. I think this is where things when wrong, since FCP was skipping some folders to get to my media, thus leaving it offline when I opened fcp.

So I did a few test re-imports by selecting the actual media files, not folders, and instead of keeping files in place I chose to copy files to library (my media and library all live on the same external, someone tell me if this is bad practice) . Now when I close the application and reopen those clips are online, and it says I have original, optimized and proxy media available.

I am also curious if you ever got this figured out. I have 9 cards of footage that I have imported multiple times, only to close the app, re open it and find them “offline”.

I can repopulate them by opening the import window and clicking on the folders one by one but it seems to have to reanalyze the footage every time. it is extremely frustrating.
