Hi,
Thanks, I got the 6 final 5.1 mix files from the sound guy so it’s all good. Appreciate the replies. -
About 2/3 is tape based and 1/3 is P2. This issue is happening with both the P2 and standard footage. So I’m really going to have to have 20 identical master clips if 20 affiliate clips from the same master clip appear in the timeline? There is no way to “re-affiliate” in FCP?
Jeremy, thanks so much for your advice. I really appreciate it. -
Thanks so much for your help. Yes, “Master Clip” is checked in the browser for the master clips. I can match frame from the timeline and see the master clip name in the viewer, but it won’t reveal master clip. When I find the master clip (with identical name and “master clip” checked) in the browser, and open it in the viewer I can match frame back from the viewer to the timeline. So you think I should just make new master clips for everything? The thing is, when I create a new master clip from the timeline, even if there is a second clip from that same master clip in the timeline, it won’t find it. It makes me create a new identical master clip for each affiliate clip. Is this going to F-up my online?

Yeah, the master clips that don’t respond to “reveal master clip” are definitely in the browser. We did have 2 G-Tech drives start making noises and have trouble mounting. I had to replace those and move a lot of media to new drives. All media copied and seemed to reconnect successfully, other than these mysterious blank files. This is a low budget doc with 3 years of editing behind it on a bunch of G-Tech 1TB external drives. I’ve only been on for a short time. They won’t spend the money to get a big professional raid and copy everything over.

As a matter of fact, yes, I copied and pasted the everything into a new project to reduce file size as advised by: https://forums.creativecow.net/thread/8/1056797
There were a few blank reconnects before I did that (maybe 20 or so files) but after I did that there were about 700 blank named files to reconnect. I copied all the bins and sequences, so all master and affiliate clips were copied over. Would this copy make them loose their affiliation? I have copied stuff between projects before without problems.
Thanks very much. -
Hi,
Thanks, there are reel numbers. The strange thing is, I manually reconnected everything that was offline in the browser. Yet when I reopen the project, it still says there are 700 offline media files, all of which have blank spaces for names. But in the project nothing is offline. I have an suspicion this has something to do with another bizarre issue, posted about here: https://forums.creativecow.net/thread/8/1026613#1083894
Essentially, the “Reveal Master Clip” function does not work, although Mach Frame and Reveal in Finder work, and the master clip is in the browser. So maybe somehow FCP has “lost” the original master clips and their names and is trying to reconnect them? I am usually pretty scientific about these things, but I am really stuck here. If anyone has any advice about these two issues, any solutions or causes, they would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
Is there really no solution for this? Match frame and reveal in finder work fine, but Shift-F “Reveal Master Clip” does not. I get “The clip’s master clip is not present. Would you like to add a master clip to the Browser?” every time even though the master clip is right there in the browser! Is there at least any idea what causes this to happen so I can avoid it in the future? There must be a way to remind FCP of the affiliation.

Okay, I ran Disk Warrior on all drives, trashed FCP prefs, and restarted. The problem remains. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks. -
Hi,
Unfortunately, I’m starting on this project after it has been worked on for 4 years by numerous editors and assistants, and I don’t know details of how it was captured. A lot of it’s preview archival from getty and other archival/stock houses and was brought in from DVDs of quicktime files. Some was captured from digibeta, even a few miniDV tapes. Thanks for your help. -
Many thanks. I looked at all my drives and they all had “Ignore ownership on this volume” checked. I’ve tried adding reel numbers again, then restarting the computer, and again some of them “stick” and some disappear, without relationship to which drive they are on. Any further advice would be much appreciated!
