THank you both, Andy and Rafael – I found the Sony XDCAM export option at the bottom of the export options, but it says “current sequence settings are unsupported.” I take it I need to reset my sequence settings – any suggestions as to what I should set them to?

Thanks!

Hi Craig – thanks for the note. Yes, they are .movs – this is my first time working with these kinds of files, and so – ostensibly, this is more for me – the mp4s are not recognizable by FCP so the XD CAM program converts them into movs.

And those movs are the edit masters. So a PC could read an MP4? I would just export the clip as MP4 (using quicktime conversion)?

Thanks

When I get info on the offline clip, it says next to “source” – eithrkd is missing. I tried renaming the folder eithrkd but it’s not reading it…

Tried it and it doesn’t recognize the clip, it just says directory “erithrkd” – the weird name. Can’t figure it out, it should work, same name…hmph. Thanks for trying!

Thanks for this. I do think my problem is thus: before I copied the movies folder onto the lacie external I renamed my hard drive (because a friend who had been messing with my keyboard inadvertently renamed the hard drive on the desktop something nonsensical, “eithrkd”). And so for half of those mov clips, it is searching for a directory called “eithrkd” which does not exist anymore.

Can I somehow point these offline clips to the exact same clip, now in a different location (on the lacie as opposed to my Imac harddrive)? I’ve tried reveal in finder, to rename but it won’t give me that option. Or is there a way I can “change the directory” so to speak?
