FCP Not Recognizing FCP Files/Folders on an External Hard Drive

Hello.


I'm using a 2021 24" M-1 iMac, running iOS 12.5, and FCP, running 10.6.3.


I have my FCP files stored on a 4T external hard drive, formatted for MAC OS Extended, with 2T+ available storage.


FCP won't recognize any FCP files and folders on the external drive - however, a couple of folders show up with the little red "minus" sign. I have, however, many other folders and files on that drive in that same location (Movies) on the external drive.


Does anyone have any thoughts or solutions? Thanks a ton!

Paul

Hi - thanks a lot for your (speedy!) response.


Totally brilliant! I did indeed NOT have FCP with Full Disc Access. Thanks a ton! ❤️🧠✊🏻!
