Help!
I have a project that has merged clips. I moved the source audio files to another drive. I reconnected the media in the bin (the original files, not the master files) but I can't seem to reconnect the offline media in the timeline from the merged clips.

I think in order to get merged clips to move without hitches you have to use the Media Manager for the moving... if you drag and drop them, they likely won't reconnect properly.

Thanks Jerry! Always to the rescue...
On that note, I have figured out a work-around that might actually speed things up a bit. Question though: Shot in the dark here, but is there a way to batch rename source files? I ask, because my sound recordist gave me all the sound files with the source names of "recording.mov, recording1.mov" etc. I have renamed all the recordings in FCP, but if there was a way to match the source name with the file name in FCP, I can save myself a boat load of head aches.
