I'm trying to relink media to my project but when I navigate to the correct folder, no video files are showing. I have even unchecked "only display exact matches" I running a PC on Windows 10. In the screenshoot my mouse is hoover over the file I want to relink. In the file locate box you can see I've navigated to that exact folder which is showing zero files

Remove the trailing space after 'Hit the Bucket ' in your directory path. That's probably the issue.

Probably because the files in the folder starts with a period . and that do probably throw the Link Media dialog off.
According to the screen shot one of the files were originally named A068_11130802_C003.braw while the files in the folder is named ._A068_11130802_C003.braw Note the ._ in the start of the filename. File names that starts with a period do often cause problems.
So, what happens if you rename the file ._A068_11130802_C003.braw to A068_11130802_C003.braw

The ._ files are not the BRAW media files - they are hidden extended attributes files created because this project and drive is being transferred from a Mac system to a PC. Hence only being 4KB in size. Hopefully the actual BRAW files are in the same directory, otherwise you don't have them.

Hey Mike, thanks for your answer on this - could you tell me if these hidden extended attributes files are ok to delete? Will it effect the project? They are really cluttering up our file system. Thanks!
