Tip #113: Remove a Yellow Alert – Option 2

Sometimes, alerts happen because the FCP X database doesn’t update.

Ziggy reports:

If you are getting a yellow alert in FCP X, it may be because the FCP X database doesn’t seem to update very quickly when you make a change to an external file, such as a motion graphics or VFX file.

If you know you just updated such a file here’s a quick workaround:

• Select everything in the timeline (shortcut: Cmd + A)
• Copy it to the Clipboard (shortcut: Cmd + C)
• Then click anywhere in the timeline to deselect everything.

Your yellow alert should disappear.
