Hey everyone - I had a little mishap. As I was clearing out some old files in FCP, I accidently deleted some things for a project I'm currently editing. And to make things worse, emptied the trash.
Well, I purchased and ran Data Rescue II, and it recovered a lot of files, including most (if not all) of what I needed. I can breathe a little easier now!
But I am having difficulity reconnecting the media to the recovered clips! I don't know what to do... here's what I have tried...
The files were pulled up at QT movies and had a .mov for the title. So I tried to rename the media clip to correspond with the clip in FCP, which now has the Media Offline message.
I changed the file from a QT movie to open in FCP, and even changed the name to .fcp. Still no luck.
What do I need to do? I control-click on the clip that I need in the bin and go to "reconnect media", go to the hard drive with the revovered files, but it won't let me select any of them.
Does this make any sense to anyone? Do you need more info from me to offer suggestions? The company that I bought the mac from is off for a few days, and I'd really like to get this solved ASAP.
Thanks in advance.
