I am working on a project in FCP with another guy that lives in LA (I'm in Houston). I have 2 HDs with the footage on it, 1 for me and 1 that I mirrored that I sent him.

He just emailed me a FCP file where he is making bins and helping me micro edit the film. When I open his FCP project file, and try to reconnect the files, I get this pop up message saying "File Attribute Mismatch". If I click continue it lets me connect them and everything works fine BUT I want to make sure this "error" wont mess me up down the road.

Here is a screen shot of the message:

I called him and we checked the frame rate, etc... and all of our settings look the same. Anyone know what could be causing this?

I'm going to ASSUME (and we know what THAT word means...) that it's referring to the LOGICAL path names (it's a different drive mounted on a different computer) and that's what's causing the "problem".

If relinking is working, you SHOULD be ok.

Thanks Shaun, and since your the only one that replied I will go with your assumption. =)
