Indeed you are correct about my *former partner. Good help these days… not so difficult to find on creative cow. Thanks so much for the response. It’s about time I become more familiar with media manager.

Thanks again,

Mike

If I delete the capture scratch folder from my hard disk, will it remove all the quicktimes associated with the timeline in FCP6? Is there a way to delete everything but the in/out markers in a clip?

Thanks

It’s all so clear now, thank you very much…

Now that I know the problem, are the files more or less useless at this point? Will I still have to go back and recapture the footage on a properly formatted drive? Or can I reformat, and then somehow get the files to work properly?

Again, thank you.

Thanks very much. I looked into disk journaling and it seems like the reasonable culprit. However, after reading the post below, it may prove to be a formatting error, though I don’t see why a FAT32 formatted drive would only cause problems with very large files… If I’m not mistaken FAT32 drives don’t allow journaling?

I’m transferring all of my 250 GB from ext. to int. drive (Thank You sata) and am planning to reformat the drive, turn journaling off and bring the footage back. May be a waste of time. What do you suggest for a next step?

Thanks again

Whoa that’s weird, I could have sworn I formatted it for mac. It worked fine for every other FCP project I’ve worked. I just checked and it is DOS-Fat32 formatted. Any suggestions?
