I may not be following you right here. When you open the project does it indicate the subclips are missing? That it can’t find them?

Yes, it did. But I figured out the problem. FYI- though I doubt anyone will be doing this. Normally, subclips should easily reconnect. The problem was that my editor and I had exported out an XML file so that I could make log notes on my computer and eventually he could reimport them. That XML file reimported into FCP was being used to reconnect to the subclips. However, when you do that and reimport the XML file- they are no longer are subclips- they look like new clips without any media attached to them to FCP. Therefore, it can’t reconnect to the media because it thinks these are new master clips. Follow me? Not sure why FCP does this but it can’t do everything perfectly. Lesson learned- basically don’t get fancy and start exporting out XMLs and importing them w/subclips. I’m sure this would work with master clips however.
