click Continue to reconnect the media file to the current clip, even though certain
attributes don’t match.

“Amount with conflicts.”
All media files located appear in a list in the Files Located area of the Reconnect dialog.

are ready to reconnect them.

You can click Connect at any time, even if there are still clips listed in the Files to
Connect list.
When Final Cut Pro Reconnects Your Clips
In certain circumstances, Final Cut Pro checks to make sure all of the media files that
correspond to clips in your project have not been modified, and that none of the
media files are missing. Final Cut Pro checks for offline clips in the following situations:
 When you open a project file: If Final Cut Pro detects missing media files that weren’t
missing the last time you saved this project, the Offline Files window appears.
 When you switch from any application to Final Cut Pro: If you switch from your project
in Final Cut Pro to the Finder (or any other application) and modify your media files,
Final Cut Pro detects these media file modifications when you switch back. In this
case, the Offline Files window appears when you switch back to Final Cut Pro.
About the Offline Files Dialog
The Offline Files dialog appears each time you open a project whose clips’ media files
have been modified in any way. This dialog may also appear when you switch to
another application and then return to Final Cut Pro. If any media files are modified,
moved, or deleted during this time, you see the Offline Files dialog.
You can select which
media files to disregard.
