Thanks John – I appreciate it.

“Are the render files still on the computer? Can you reconnect to them?
Or maybe I don’t understand the problem exactly. You can’t just re-render?”
I did a search at the finder level, and some render files are missing, but some show up but almost as blank douments – no path to where they’re stored, no file size, no description – never seen this before.
The problem why I can’t just re-render (I’d love it if I could), is that there are about 2-300 hundred clips that have the nattress film converter effect on them, and each clip needs to have the effect opened up, and the source clip dropped into the well, then rendered individually – otherwise all the other clips with the converter render to the last source clip dropped into the well, producing the wrong picture. I can do this individually with each one, but it willtake 2-3 days to re-create which I don’t have at the moment.

Thanks guys – good to know – I just checked a few of the clips and they are indeed NTSC. I appreciate your help.

Kristian,
Wow. Thanks. I feel really dumb. I was operating FCP’s edit to tape like it was an Avid and just hitting the Assemble button. Total oversight on my part. Thank you for responding to me.

Thanks Matte, this sounds great. I was expecting them to be much more expensive.

Hello to all who responded to my problem,
First, thank you all very much for your thoughts and advice. It turned out that one of the firewire drives (a Lacie 500 gig) is not functioning. The drive will not even copy media, and after trying every data rescue and disk repair program, we’ve decide to recapture the multitude of hours of footage.
When I started this project and saw I would be working with firewire drives, I was tentative, but forgot about that feeling until now. I will proceed much differently after the experence of this job. Again, thanks everyone for your help.

Thanks, I’ll give it a try.

Tom,
The only adding to the sequence from another was occasionally lassoing/copying/pasting some clips from a smaller sequence into the main one. I never marked in to out and cut one in.
I tried disk warrior on the three drives. Two are fine; the third had errors. When disk warrior tried to fix and replace them, right at the very end, the application quit. I’ve tried three times on this drive, the same thing happens each time.
I tried dragging the problematic drive to the trash. The project now opens quickly, with the media referenced on the missing drive becoming offline, but the sequence plays fine with the media that’s there. Is there a way to isolate what might be corrupt media on the problematic drive?
Sorry for all the questions,
Jake

Tom,
The project file is 18 MB. The only thing in the project is two copies of the sequence (the sequence being about 90 minutes long) and three other, much smaller sequences.
