Exclamation Point icon on my event

I just installed the latest update to Final Cut Pro X and am now getting the yellow triangle as well. It worked perfectly fine and didn't have the triangle until after the update. It is also looking for the .FinalCutCopy file. Did you ever figure out what to do about this?

Thanks!

Debbie i suggest you go back 5 posts in this string to "nolanpaulstanley" were he explains a solution that worked for me..good luck!

Recently had exactly the same thing happen to me, ingested a bunch of footage and then all of a sudden there's the yellow exclamation mark but all of my clips are online and I couldn't find any offline, BUT ⚠ I did manage to work out what had happened;

When I was importing my footage (from a folder already on the Mac) it also contained a couple of photo images that I didn't want so in from the event browser I deleted them....before everything had finished "copying" (the photos had copied over). Once everything was done being copied the exclamation mark came up because it had forgotten that I'd instructed it to delete the two photos.

Now to fix it I simply dragged the photos back to the event browser and the exclamation mark disappeared, weirdest thing though is the files aren't in the browser anymore but still remain in the event folder in Finder.

Think its a bug for sure.

It may not have been the case here, but most often the "missing" icon occurs when proxy media is selected for playback and it has not been created for some clips. In that case, just transcoding these clips (control-click, "transcode media" and check the proxy box) is what is needed.

As long as the media is off-line and not on the timeline you can simply remove it to the trash, this also cures the yellow triangle.

i had the same problem. no missing files in my actual video but still the yellow triangle. but i found that reconnecting a missing file that belonged to the event library i was using made the symbol go away.

You wouldn't happen to have noticed if the mystery clip had a zero start and end and zero duration when it was in list view.

Very good question - I did not think to take a snapshot before deleting the clip. I will post my findings if I can reproduce the problem.

I have a yellow triangle-exclaimation point but no red frames. The project runs fine, no dropped frames or missing clip, but I keep getting a Quiktime Error -50 when trying to export. I also get an error message saying some titles, effects are missing.

I was seeing the exclaimation point on one of my events and it was driving me nuts! All my media was linked both on the timeline and in the event library! The problem was not effect my work, just seeing it there was bugging me. Turned out I had a disconnected file which was hidden becasue I had rejected it and the default view hides the rejected files.

Switching the setting to show all files showed me the unlinked file which I deleted and then the annoying exclaimation point went away.

Just go to the event window and hit ctrl+c to view all the files and you should see the one causing the problem.

I feel much better now!

I've been experiencing similar, bizarre issues recently where tons of clips are showing up with the yellow exclamation mark icon and are also showing up with red when they're shown in the viewer. However, they're definitely online and when I reveal any of the clips in the finder I'm taken straight to the Original Media folder and the correct file. What is going on and how do I fix this???

Here's a screenshot:

Have you tried relinking the the clips?

Literally ALL of the clips in this event/library appear offline when they're in fact online. I've tried relinking them but when I select the library they're in none of them are found and I'm unable to drill into the Original Media directory through the dialog box that opens when I go through the Relink Files process.

Sounds like you are using managed media. Has anything changed anywhere in this library's media? Anything doene to it? Used anywhere else? Synced externally?

Try this: First make sure the import preferences are set to leave clips in place, not ciopy to library. Next, with the application closed, copy all the media out of the Original Media folder into another folder outside the library. Use the relink function and point it to the new external media. See if that works.

I haven't done anything to this library's media. In fact the list of clips shown in the screenshot were imported just a couple days ago with the copy to library (rather than leave in place) option selected. The libraries are on a Promise Pegasus 2 drive in RAID 5. Many of these issues (in this library/event and others) cropped up when I copied these libraries from a different drive to the Pegasus when I migrated to a new computer. However the clips I mentioned importing a few days ago were imported on the new computer and direclty to the current drive they're stored on.
