Thanks for your replies,
“if all of these folders are in one single folder”
I’m not sure I get what you mean…
If you mean, “are the red folders in the root of the drive”, then no.
Currently the red files are in sub folders…
e.g. SCSI ARRAY>PROJECT>RED RUSHES>DALLIES(DAY01-04)>ROLLS(01-54)>RED FOLDERS (A002_C001_1018NN.RDC etc)
Of course I select the top level folder (RED RUSHES) to search for the files in and it does find each one, but it’s a case of clicking search, select, search, select, search, select, etc for each clip….

Surely if I’ve highlighted a bunch of clips to reconnect and select the top level folder that contains all the clips then it should just connect…

I think Kevin’s comment is probably closer to the mark, media management is not fcp’s strong point unfortunately.

I might try putting all the red files in a single folder or even the creating alias’s in a single folder trick, see if that works…

Just wondered if I was doing something dumb, which is quite possible 🙂
