Several options can help you find your clip.
 Show pop-up menu: If this option is set to All Files, you can select any file type in the
selected folder on your hard disk, whether or not it can be connected to a clip in
Final Cut Express HD. To limit the kind of files you can select in this list, choose a file
type from the pop-up menu.
 Matched Name Only: Choose this option so Final Cut Express HD restricts your
selections to media files whose names match the file name in the clip’s Source
property. If you are reconnecting to a media file whose name is different than the
previous media file the clip was connected to, or if the clip name does not match the
media filename, you can deselect this option.
Note: If no media file exists that matches the filename in the clip’s Source property,
Final Cut Express HD searches for a media file whose name matches the clip name.
 Search: Shows the path of the media file referenced to the current clip being
reconnected. If more than one match is found, you can use this pop-up menu to
choose which file you want.
 Reconnect All Files in Relative Path: Select this checkbox if you want
Final Cut Express HD to automatically reconnect all remaining clips whose media files
are located in this folder. When you are reconnecting a lot of clips, this can speed up
the reconnection process considerably.
7 When the correct media file is selected, click Choose to add the media file to the Files
Located area in the Reconnect dialog.
If certain attributes of the selected media file don’t match the clip you are reconnecting
the File Attribute Mismatch dialog appears.
Final Cut Express HD warns you if the following file attributes don’t match the
properties of the clip you are reconnecting:
 Number of video or audio tracks
 Reel name
 Frame rate
