When Final Cut Express HD Reconnects Your Clips
In certain circumstances, Final Cut Express HD checks to make sure all of the media
files that correspond to clips in your project have not been modified, and that none
of the media files are missing. Final Cut Express HD checks for offline clips in the
following situations:
 When you open a project file: If Final Cut Express HD detects missing media files that
weren’t missing the last time you saved this project, the Offline Files window appears.
 When you switch from any application to Final Cut Express HD: If you switch from your
project in Final Cut Express HD to the Finder (or any other application) and modify
your media files, Final Cut Express HD detects these media file modifications when
you switch back. In this case, the Offline Files window appears when you switch back
to Final Cut Express HD.
