I wanted to share with everyone a situation I am in and my results. I need to move a large project to a new drive (likely a an OWC Thunderbay 4 RAID). It really doesn't matter the drive, but what does matter is that I have a lot of problems getting my BRAW clips to relink when they go offline for an unknown reason. Granting access hasn't worked confidently so I typically have to manually select clips and relink. There are no Reveal in Finder clips of the BRAW Toolbox-generated clips, and as a result we can't use FCP's copy to new library won't work either. Only the extracted audio will come over.
One way, though not ideal, that I thought I'd share that I can confirm worked (at least when I tested it) was I created a read/write sparse disk image on a current RAID that I have with the same name as a test hard drive that I had an FCP library and BRAW Toolbox-generated clips on. After copying the library and clips to the sparse disk image, unmounting the original drive from the computer, and remounting the sparse disk image, the library opened with everything connected as if the original drive was there.
Downside is that you have to mount the disk image each time. Upside is that everything stays connected.
If you have regular success with relinking multiple braw clips at once, you don't need to worry about this, but I haven't had consistent results in this area if at all so this is my only solution to move a library at the Finder level while keeping everything in tact.
