Hi
It spinds like someone has changes the name on the folder that contains your avid project on a finder level.
Then avid has no reference of saving. The autosave still works though.

I experience this a lot, at some reason mostly after lunch. I think in my case that it is a communication issue between our server and fcp. I normally just save at my local scratch disc and do the backup to the server at the end of the day.
But I’ve always been curious if a solution existed.

I normally mark an In and Out, Press option +c, (Like Shane said- it copies it to the clipboard), and it appears in the viewer, and then it’s easy to do an splice-in or overwrite, so no need for the mouse.

Cheers

I think the easiest way is to sync your original material, which you have done the edit from. When you have synced it, then drag the clips to the browser, do a batch export to codec you have used, and then relink your material.
I think it would work, because when you do the batch I FCC, then you keep the time code. FCP will probably argue about the reel since you’ve removed the reel.
Or you could sync it all and then replace the edits by comparing time code.
But to future projects you should sync before you edit, even though you are in a hurry you do not save anything in the long run..probably the opposite.
Good luck

Yours Sincerely

I Can only see two options
– crop the picture so it fits in 4:3
Or
– stretch it..but it won’t be good looking

But the best solution would be to just make a 16:9 DVD

Oh yes I forgot that clip wrapper got that feature. Thanks for the reminder.
I normally use clip wrapper with avid 5.5.3 and AVCHD

I’ve often experienced issues with long AVCHD clips.
A solution could be to use clip wrapper to rewrap the AVCHD to h264, and then transcode it to prores.

You nede to make sure that you have the whole folderstructure. Reel/DCIM/MISC/eos(something) and then your .mov and.thm.
Google your camera-folderstructure to get the right one.
I’ve never used FCP6, so I don’t know if the log and transfer supports canon.
Good luck

Yours Sincerely

I don’t know that camera, but does it use SD card? Of so, Then but a card reader, I believe they are pretty cheap.

If you export an self contained and bring it in to your project, you can use the shift+n option and get the stills with you effects etc and the do the batch
