[QUOTE="kicklite, post: 1659906, member: 86412"] Hi Lisa Great to know you’re here. First, going back to your previous post, can you tell me how to unhide the files on a PC. I now have access to one. I should say this is my first adventure in PPRo having up until now, worked exclusively in FCP7 and its previous iterations. So still on a learning curve. While I didn’t have Paragon installed at the time of transfer I did install it later on just to see if having it told me something different in terms the amount of data. No difference. And I’ve just completed another transfer since having Paragon. No difference. That said, I thought the only purpose of this software was to be able to write to a NTFS drive from a Mac. That one should be able to read and copy without it. I can see the files in the media browser in PPRo. But when i look for them in the finder, they don’t seem to be there. Since my last post I did some further searching on PPRo. I think what’s likely is that the files were logged off line but not imported. But even if so, what I still don’t get is why these files show up as off line to begin with, given I’m not working with a project file from the original editor. And that is at the core of why this project has proven to be so difficult. Believe it or not when I was handed this project for re-editing, I wasn’t given the project file. After weeks of continually asking for it, I’m finally told that it isn’t possible. Can you think of any plausible reason how this could be true? It seems to me that even if for some reason there’s a bug in this editor's PPRo installation, so that he can’t do a “save as” or a save a copy” to make a duplicate, whats to stop him from simply making a copy of the file by doing a drag and drop onto another drive. Granted, I am thinking of a Mac environment when I say that and perhaps its a different story on a PC but from my pov this just doesn’t add up. fwiw, he’s on CS6. Assuming I can’t find anything when I look for any hidden files then it seems that what you and others have said above is probably whats going on. But any further insight, especially about the lack of the project file issue. would be much appreciated. Thanks, Jase [/QUOTE]
