Error: Failed to read samples

Pardon repeated replies but I'm on a deadline and growing a little concerned. Was supposed to give the AAF to the re-recording mixer on Monday but have been troubleshooting.

I've gone into the FCPX picture lock sequence and detached the troublesome clips from their video files, and stripped camera audio. This seems to work, fingers crossed, but now I'm repeatedly getting this message:

Would detaching all audio from parent video clip fix this? Going to give it a test.

Hi Graeme,

Thanks for the quick response. Strangely enough the particular clips are not spanned, and I've added both "/" and the root directory of my external Raid towers to cover everything. It continues to give me this message. Anything else I can try?

Does this project use spanned RED files? If so, you will have to add the folders that contain those spanned RED files to the media locations in the preferences and try again.

If you want, you can add the main hard disk (usually called "Macintosh HD") to the media locations and that should cover everything.

Hi all,

Prepping an independent feature film for the re-recording mixer. Doing some AAF tests now so as to not have any problems next week. I encountered this most recent error message (attached).

What should I look for to correct this?

Best,
Drew
