hi all,
i opened a project today i was working on yesterday. it played fine when i closed it.
now when it opens, FCP puts up an error saying 'The movie file 'SequenceName-FIN-00000022' cannot be found. Without this file, the movie cannot play properly.'
it gived me the option to search, but it doesn't search, instead, i'm supposed to locate the file. i have no idea where it is, because it's nothing i recognize.
after i cancel, the clip shows as 'media offline' in the sequence. the actual clip file is there (in the finder), but it's all black frames!
OK
i went to my backup drive and opened the project there. everything opens just fine. i look at the same clip in the exact same relative file path and gues what: it's also all black frames when i play it back in the finder, but in the sequence it plays perfectly fine!
does anyone know what's going on here? in particular, what's this filename-FIN-00000022 thing all about?
thanks,
stefan
