Add yourself to your Mac HD as read/write, and in your media creation settings, make sure you don't have "Filter system drive" selected.

Randall, Pat, 

 

Following up as now the files don't show up again and I'm getting the "no media can be written to any mounted drive. please check write permissions " message. 

 

On my Mac HD I have system as read & write and on the OMFI folder I have me, staff and everyone as read & write. 

 

Any advice on how to solve this? 

 

Thanks again!!!!!

 

 

Regards,

I'd also trash the database files.

The folder name should be "OMFI MediaFiles".  It should be at the root level of the media drive volume.  There cannot be any sub-folders inside of it.  The recommended max file count is 5,000.

Hi all,

I've been away from MC for a while and need to play with a sequence from a very old project (MC 5 or 4). I created a new project in the latest version and imported all my old bins and sequences but the sequence and footage files aren't linking. The old footage were omfi files. Is there something that I would need to do to have the project recognize and link back to those old files? Is there a file folder structure that I need to follow? Again, been away for a while and I'm slowly getting reacquainted with the software. Thank you so much for any guidance!
