Thanks! I guess I should have searched a little harder.

Dern, that certainly is inconvenient, especially if you don’t want to do more than a simple cross dissolve.
I demand asymmetrical transitions and pudding! …sorry, I’m hungry.

Ah! I never even considered that. I wonder if I could do the same thing with a Disk Image or something similar? Hmmmm, I must look into this.
Thanks for the tip!

But, to be fair, it is not Final Cut Pro or Premiere that is “putting media all over the place” it would be the editor that did that. With FCP you have the option to setup your Media Management exactly like Avid if you so desire. Whereas with Avid you are only given the Media Management style that the developers have determined is best for you, rather than letting you choose for yourself.
The main reason I said it was inconvenient is that while I can keep all my FCP projects, files, etc… wherever I want (neatly tucked into a folder with the name of the project) my Avid project is scattered among a sea of other folders on the root of my hard drive that have nothing to do with the project at all.
I understand your position and agree that Avid does a great job of keeping your project online, I just don’t enjoy being forced into one way of operating.

Man, that sure is inconvenient. Thanks for the speedy reply though! I moved all the files too the Root section of the hard drive and it worked.

I just did the same thing and the media was still disconnected but at least the file names were showing up in the Reconnect Media window. *phew* Thanks!

The files aren’t in the trash, 3 of them were but the huge blank space under where is says ‘Root: is where all the media files should show up, instead it’s empty, like FCP knows how many files are missing, where they should be, but not their names (despite the fact that in the timeline they show up with the names).

I did have FX Factory installed. I tried uninstalling it and deleting all it’s components as well as moving my whole Plugins folder to the trash so see if any others might be affecting it. Still, though, I’m running into the same problem.
Anyone else have a guess as to what I could try? I haven’t un/reinstalled Final Cut Studio yet… and I hope it doesn’t come to that. Thank you all for your help so far.

Yeah, that’s how I want to do it, thought the Log and Transfer window.
Add folder, navigate to P2 folder with Contents and .txt file and click Open.
