I just installed FCP 5.1 on the MacBook, which is brand new, this weekend. I haven’t done anything else with the system except copy my project files from my G5 over to the MacBoiok so that I could work on it there. I only discovered the problem after FCP 5.1 converted my FCP 4.5 files, which then apparently messed up the exsiting reference files I had created in FCP 4.5 because After Effects could no longer see the media.

I have seen a few other people report the same problem on Apple.com, but people are scratching their heads there too. It seems very inconsistent. I was thinking of installing FCP 51 on my G5, but since I’m in the middle of a project, I didn’t want to risk it.

For now, I can live with the problem because the files I’m using in After Effects aren’t very big and I have plenty of disk space. But I’d like to get the problem resolved before I move onto future projects that may demand more disk space.

Simon,

I thought about that, but then I tried creating a new project from scratch on the MacBook Pro (which I’ll be doing when I’m on the road) and I saw the same results. So it appears to have nothing to do with migrating a project over from FCP 4.5. I also updated the MacBook Pro to FCP 5.1.1 last night, but that didn’t help either.
