Why do my VoiceOver files disappear in Final Cut Pro?

When I use the Record Voiceover tool it record in the project timeline but when I click stop it disappears. I can locate the file in my Media location, however it's just an alias. I can find the original file located /Users/Library/Containers/com.apple.FinalCut/Data/tmp/TemporaryItems/NSIRD_Final Cut Pro_KGbswJ

Why is this file not staying in my media location? Its an external SSD

There was a discussion about this where some are not experiencing any Voiceover problems in 11.1. Voiceover is not working on Final Cut pro… - Apple Community


Post the output of an Etrecheck report by clicking the "Additional text" button and pasting. Perhaps there's a new software conflict with 11.1.

I have observed that if I keep the Media Location inside the Library it works as it should. When I set to an external drive is when it stopped working. I have had the same external drive for my Media for 2 years now and it was never a problem. So it's not the drive r how's it formatted. It literally stopped working when the new update came out.

Just to make sure: check that FCP has Full Disk Access granted in System Settings->Privacy & Security
