Yes Maurice,

I would have posted it before, when solved…my fault.

I don’t know if it’s the case, but for me the problem was on the Hard Drive naming where my footage resided.
The name was “Audio & Video” and the problem was the ampersand, it creates some kind of problems with the XML file (maybe it’s a Premiere problem not recognize it).
So I renamed my Hard Drive in “Audio Video” and now it all works.

If you can’t solve it, you can send an email to the support, John just solved my problem in a couple of hours!

Thank you John.
I will do!

Yes, I agree with Matthew and Bryson, in most cases the automatic generated thumbnails si something you don’t want especially in folder with thousands of images.

As Bryson said maybe this could become a user’s choice to turn it on or off.

Thanks to all for the clarifications

Today I had the same problem and found this thread.
Obviously you have solved or you no longer need advise, but i found something that doesn’t solve your problem but is a tip not to fall in. I hope not saying something banal.

The problem when using media that FCP X link to, with other apps is the fact, like someone said, of the “Last Modified” problem, so the metadata related to.

I’ve had your same problem using a Quicktime file in After Effects, saving the project in AE, and so lost the link immediately in FCP X. So i tried with another QT, but before do this I set the “Sharing & Permission” of this file to “Read only”, and this solve my problem, I can use it in AE or whatever apps and FCP X mantain all links.

I think this can only solve QT problems, or movie in general, because I usually don’t need to write to a movie file itself. In my opinion it doesn’t works with other assets like graphics or audio (psd, png, audio) where maybe you have to update regularly the file.
