nop , i just copied from the GFX sequences which are in project A and past to the media sequence in project B! i didn’t bring the bin of the GFX into the media project (project B) , i guess thats my fault ! cuz when i moved both project to the new machine what i assumed that the copied GFX will be related to their GFX project wherever its placed , and not to the original media , so when i reconnected the GFX project on the new machine it will automatically reconnect the copied GFX as well … bass now i discovered that it was a dumb logic :S

Yepp your perfectly right!which means there is no easy way to restore it but to go through it sequence by sequence and reconnect it to the new location…well, then i guess i have a long night of searching for needles in the haystack … i better get started on it ! … its just that i was hoping for a some kind of a miracle :)! Cheers

Thanks Dave for your reply , but i did that and i am sure that i have all the graphics on the new machine , cuz as i said , the graphics got reconnected on the GFX project on the new machine but the parts that i copied for the edited sequences arent reconnected ! can the problem be that when reconnecting media it only applies to the media in the original project, but i doesn’t apply on the copied items to another projects ?

thanks again!

thanks Bret , i kinda figured that out later … that’s so elementary,but you know , your mind sometimes expect something to show up in the transition folder like any other plug in FCP and it just doesn’t happen!so you keep thinking about harder solutions when the answer is right in front of your nose :p !

btw , do you know some other websites where i can download similar Alpha transitions?

well, a mouseless editing is a very fast way to make rough cuts or to do what i call ” cleaning the rushes” if you digitized a whole tape and you need to choose ur useful shots and organize them into different sequences for faster access later … your standard keyboard shortcuts are enough to switch between browser canvas and timeline , to open sequences and bins,control the patch bay in your sequence,choose the tools,choose clip from the browser,zooming,navigating on the sequence,adding or removing in/out point and marks and even making an edit to tape ,etc…

but when it comes to trimming,fine tuning , using effects or keyframes,using any of the tools, there is no escape but to use the mouse …
