FCP export issue

Can someone remind me the best way to get around the message while trying to export:

"This item cannot be shared while it is still referencing media on the camera"

I have re-imported the media, and started project again from scratch. Have encountered this before in an earlier version of FCP, but have forgotten any work-arounds.

Many thanks

How to import previusly not imported camera files in FCPX? I was ready to export a video, and it says "This media cannot be shared while referencing media still on the camera" NOTE: The media in the project trying to export does have the camera icon on the media preview I tried to re-import the media, and let it copy, but it made a duplicate of the file, and still would not let me export. I tried exporting in Compressor as well, and it showed the files as "Missing Media", or played the clips with no audio, when there was audio. Anybody have any ideas, this is a great video I need to export and save.

Why can I only export once? Hey, here's what i'm doing Create Event Create Project Add a short video Add Radial Effect to video Add Alien Lab effect to video Add a generated white image Add a Shape Mask to the white image Export the video When I do everything in this order, the export works as expected. But when I make changes after exporting, the next export will not reflect those changes. (Only the preview in FCP as well as the preview image of the video file will look as it should; the actual video itself won't) Or for example when I make an export between steps 5 and 6, it will work fine. But if I continue with the rest of the steps, the export at the end will be the same as the previous one, without the shape mask that I just added. Deleting the render files (or the other cached files) for the event (or each clip) does not have any effect at all. I also reinstalled FCP but all my settings including the issue were all still there. Any ideas? Thanks

Look in the browser for clips that show a white camera “badge”. Select and do File->Import->Reimport from Camera/Archive

Use the import from camera function.

No, still not working. Might it be a space on the hard drive issue?
