Apple Final Cut Pro 7 - Manual (Page 1561)

• To specify that all folders in the Search Folders pop-up menu be searched: Deselect the
Search Single Location option.
6 Do one of the following:
• To have Final Cut Pro search for media files automatically: Click Search.
• To manually navigate to the location of the media file: Click Locate.
If you click Search, Final Cut Pro searches for the media file that corresponds to the clip
highlighted in the Files To Connect area. When Final Cut Pro discovers a potential
match, the Reconnect dialog appears. If Final Cut Pro cannot find a clip’s media file,
you hear an alert sound. In this case, you may want to use the Locate button to manually
search for a clip’s media file instead.
Choose an option to limit
which kinds of files you
are allowed to select.
Deselect this option
when reconnecting a
media file whose name
has changed.
Select the file.
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 Pro. 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 Pro restricts your selections to
media files whose names match the filename in the clip’s Source property. If you are
reconnecting to a media file whose name is different from 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 Pro searches for a media file whose name matches the clip name.
