Hello all!
I'm usually pretty good at troubleshooting my own issues but this is one that I can't really find any info on. I upgraded from Mountain Lion to Mavericks and my Movies folder looks completely different.
All of my other folders are fine and they work just like before including the Pictures, Music, and Documents folders.
The issue is that I can only see movie files and folders at all in list and column view (icon view shows a blank folder) however, most files are grey with little circles next to them. I can't click on them, move them, right click them, anything. I have a feeling it's a simple issue that I'm overlooking but I am including screenshots to help show what's going on. Any ideas? I need a lot of these files for work!

These were all workable, clickable, and playable files before the upgrade. I have Perian, Flip4Mac (for .WMV files), and VLC installed on my system just in case that matters. Mavericks is showing them as still installed and ready to go. All video files outside of the movies folder still work. In fact, I just dragged a movie file from the desktop that was playing 10 seconds ago to the movies folder and now it's one of those gray files. Thanks!
Edit- If I open Quicktime and go to file -> open file they can all be opened but that's a bit of a pain and I would still like to get this resolved.
