fcpx missing plugin error jigsaw - HELP -

fcpx missing plugin jigsaw error. Works just fine for the most part but often after the MacBook has been in sleep mode the errors appear... What changes!? how to fix and stop happening every time I make a video. For an apple product it appears to be incredably fragile.

MacBook Pro with Touch Bar

Yes, and thank you for posting the screenshot.


It makes apparent what I think could be what is causing trouble - your media appears to be in iCloud.


With FCP you should have your media in a local folder.

Copy the file to a local folder - e.g. your Movies folder, or a folder in an external drive.

Relink the clip to this location. Do File->Relink Files, choose All, then select the clip or clips in the list; click Locate Selected..., navigate to the local folder that contains the copied file(s) and click Relink.



Does it work now?

So looking to create a promo video for my gym. I had created it and shared It therefore having the completed video ready to go. However I then decided to change something so after fcpx remaining open but had since put my MacBook to sleep I brought it all back up to discuss with my business partner to find what you can see in the attached image. Before this everything was working fine. I had even solved an issue of the larger video file randomly turning black thanks to a YouTube video. Its almost not worth the stress haha. I have created numerous videos which have then since corrupt so have just deleted them. macOS Catalina version 10.15.7 and fcpx version 10.5.1 - This has occurred throughout multiple updates as well. thanks for your reply before and your time
