Q: Missing file warning with an import of Red footage.

I updatd a project and got seveal missing file warnings.  Two clips seem to be very much stuck in this mode.  I have trashed the files out of the project and off the drive and tried several time to reload them to no avial...  Does anyone have any idea how to get past this.   Both files show up on the drive with the video in tack when I click on the files so I am a bit stumped as to what to do next.

    So arter chewing my arms off forever I got lucky and found the sollution.  After trashing the clips out of FCPX and off the drive and going into the finder and trashing the trash.  You have to go into the tranzcoded media on the drive and trash those files.  I did this with FCPX open and the files opened up with the video.  I then had to redo the proxy and HQ media.  One would think that when you trash out a file in FCPX that it would remove the corrosponding files to avoid this issue.  Argggg  I hope this helps someone else in the future....
