Davinci 12
Fcpx 10.1.3 (not current)

Both are on the same machine

Okay for even further intrigue, FCPX was saying it couldn’t link clips because the original file “didn’t have audio, but the new one does”, so I had the idea to run one clip through davinci, export the same codec/container etc., but remove the audio channel, and then try and relink that file (I don’t need the audio off the video, so this could work as a solution).

Then FCPX say:

“The original file didn’t have video, but the new file does.

Relinked files must have the same media type and similar audio channels as the original files, and must be long enough to cover all the clips that reference the files.”

Which is obviously a foolish statement, silly FCPX.

So uh… any idea out there what’s going on?

Okay so I think what happened is that the coloured files I exported from Davinci had audio, and the original media files don’t, so the files won’t link because they are considered a different “type”. Is there a way to make FCPX ignore audio information when importing video content? If so I think it’ll solve my problem.

I tried both re linking all and missing, but neither has worked. Also, the clips aren’t actually registering as missing, which is the strangest part of this. Fcpx is behavin as if the clips are there, but there is no content.

Is there another way to “force” it to relink that I don’t know about?

Thanks for the help so far!
