Re: Will not reconnect media!!

I was experiencing a similar issue today. I have a film that I am editing and I have been trying to simply share the FCP file with the filmmaker. He has the media on his drive & have the media on mine as I am working remotely.

Today, I was "simply" copying the FCP to his drive (as I have both drives right now) and I could not get his media to relink with the edited sequence / FCP file from my drive just as you have described.

I would try to relink it, it would find it and after it said that it was reconnecting, there would be no connection. I did this many times, restarted, etc...

I started to copy all of the media over to remedy this when I realized what was the issue.

Somehow my media was set to show the extension ".mov" while the original drive with the media was not.

I actually went into the program "file renamer" and asked it to add the ".mov" suffix to all of the source media on his drive.

I opened FCP again, went through the relinking steps and this time it worked perfectly.
