Thanks so much Mark for taking the time. I’ve checked my settings and all captured material is directed to be captured to my external GRaid. However when I look in the folder where all the footage should be it say it contains 0. I tried it on my husbands computer and that also indicates the contents of the folder are 0, that it was amended in June 2014. But I can play the footage in FCP! In fact I uploaded more material yesterday and that plays too. Something has gone seriously awry somewhere. I looked at the media manager and don’t know how it works, will have to read up. Any more thoughts or advice greatly appreciated.
