FCP X won't import from my card reader at DVinfo.net

Kevin Langdon · January 29th, 2016, 11:57 AM

I use a Sonnet SxS card reader to import material from my camera into FCP X. I use it virtually on a daily basis and have had no problems whatsoever.
But today FCP X wouldn't see the SxS card in the reader.
Normally it automatically imports the material as soon as I put the card into the reader. I tried rebooting my Macbook Pro, etc but to no avail. The card reader comes up on the Desktop, but even if I try to import the material by using Cmd I, FCP X isn't listing the card reader.
I know there isn't a problem with the card reader because I also have a second editing system (Avid) on the laptop and that imports the material fine.
So, I'm a bit baffled as it was working yesterday and I'm not aware of any changes to the laptop, etc.
Any ideas??
Thanks

What happens if you copy the entire SxS card to your desktop, then point FCPX at it?

Tried other cards and they work. So, maybe a problem with this one card. Don't understand why as I've used it numerous times before. Maybe if I format it first and then try it again, it'll be ok?
