Can't export or share my projects

I know this is an old post, but some - like I initially was - might still be interested in a work around.

Offline Media Red logo of **** had me right click the browser window. Select "Import Media". Re-import the missing files. Then "Relink" them via "File/Import/Relink" and things be all much good again.

The yellow triangle indicates there is media missing. It sounds as if you have imported the media from an archive without copying the media into the event and then closed the archive. A lot of things can cause this, but the media has to be found and connected before you can export.

You need to look through the project piece by piece and look for what might have missing elements. Also check the event for this project. Look for the triangles and also also circular icons on a corner of the clips.

The relink function in FCPX is identical to reconnect in legacy versions.

Make sure the media is properly linked or by re-editing the same clips from the same event you might simply be reproducing the problem.

I happen to have the same problem. ( http://marcuswolschon.blogspot.de/2012/06/final-cut-pro-x-kamera-clips-ausgewahl t.html )

I imported AVCHD footage from a lot of SD cards and moved my event to an external drive.

Final Cut Pro X crashed 3-4 times during all that importing.

When the SD-card that has these clips is mounted while FCPX is starting up, I can see them but they have a camera symbol in the Event Browser.

When the SD-card is not mounted I get the triangle "missing clip" like Ghetty does.

The German message is:

"Kamera-Clips ausgewählt"

"Kamera-Clips können nicht verarbeitet werden. Sie müssen zuerst diese Dateien importieren/erneut importieren, um sie zu verarbeiten."

a)

The help system doesn't know the term "Kamera-Clips" at all. No Glossary or expanation as to it's meaning inside FCPX.

Only by sheer luck and trial and error I was able to guess what the english error message meight have been and found this ticket.

b)

I can select the problematic clips for import just as the message tells me to but they are ignored. Nothing happens.

What can I do?

I am unable to import these clips as FCPX thinks they are already fully imported.

How does this "relink" work and what is the German word used for it, so I can find it in my FCPX and my help system?

It sounds as if the clips weren't properly imported from the card, like it didn't finish copying before the card was pulled. You will have to reimport the media and make sure it copies to the event. You might also want to make archives of the cards. Relinking may help you. I don't know what the German phrasing will be, but it will be in the same position in the menus.

I couldn't reimport them.

As I said, FCPX thought they are already imported and does nothing when I select them in the import-dialog and click "import selected".

I had to delete the clips in the Event Browser, damaging the project that used them and then I was able to import them again, tag them again, assign camera name,...

Luckily none of the frequent crashes tonight happened during that import.

Also luckily the SD card was not already erased. Had this happened with any earlier clips the footage would have been lost.

Lesson learned: NEVER move events again. Only copy them and then delete the original. That feature is broken and may lean to data loss.

Next step: track some of them in Motion 5 and find out how to work around the missing integration between FCPX and Motion for anything besides effects.

Same thing happened with me. My video clip had a small video camera icon in the bottom left. It turned out that Final Cut had not imported the file properly. I went to the Import menu under File and hit Reimport File and it worked.

This is happening to me also. I have copied all my footage over to external drives, and have been importing it as I need it for a reality show project I'm producing. I have hundreds of hours of video in in h264 and AVC HD. I tried to show my exec producer some of the footage but none of the share options will work.

Using Final Cut X was a big mistake. It's not ready for Prime time.

The screen shot looks like an older version of FCPX, have you done the current upgrades? I started using Final Cut Pro X .08 about three months ago, yes, it took some time to let go of my previous experience with Final Cut Express, but with some patience and perceverience, I got it.

I've imported and exported a variety of footage and have not experienced a single problem with that. In my limited experience, FCPX certainly is ready for prime time, but what I've discovered reading many of the posts here is that many USERS are not ready for prime time, they don't take the time to learn the proper way to use FCPX, it's a completely different animal than the traditional version.

I'm using .08 And I've been a professional editor for 13 years. I've made every rent payment and car payment in those 13 years thanks to Final Cut Pro, and I've bought every version they made (except 2. I went from 1 to 3) I spent months reserching final cut pro x and several weeks making the transition to X.

And now I'm humiliated. I can't show my exec producer footage, much less finish and prepare the episode. I've spent hundreds of dollars on things like the ability to export audio to my sound mixer, and still deal with problems like the new color correction tools being buggy on a daily basis.

At this point my plan is this: I now keep the project on an external drive, so I can take my laptop around to show the footage. When the episode is done, then I'll put an adjustment layer on the whole file, render the whole thing, and snatch the 40 minutes of render files, and reasseble them and the exported audio in a FCP 7 project.

SOUNDS GREAT.

RElinking the missing files doesnt work, becasue they are all there. the files all play fine in the timeline. and there is no indication what files the project thinks are playing from a camera card. relinking does nothing.

I need a utility to go through and scrub the XML and fix the links inside it so that it doesn't believe they are on camera cards anymore.
