Cannot Share, tells me referencing camera when not

Thanks for your help everyone.

Thanks. I don't know why it happened this time, except that I switched machines to edit but I had imported the media to a new project event file on a portable LaCie drive...

Hopefully this works..

Hey all,

I had the same problem, the footage was fine once I moved it to another hard drive. The problem seemed to be the library, which was doing funny things when I was trying to reimport the footage, it wouldn't import the footage into certain events, and did odd things when I closed FCPX. It wouldn't let me use the reimport solution, so I created my own workaround.

To solve the problem for me:

-I imported the footage in a new library, in a new event.

-From the 'damaged' library I duplicated the project that wouldn't share, and then dragged over the new library.

-I then had a library that worked properly, and I moved over the other events that were not part of this problem, and I deleted the library that was having issues (to stop me from using it again)

I hope you are all reporting this to Apple via the FCPX Feedback page. I'm seeing more and more of this same issue croping up in 10.1.1.

1000000000 Thanks to Edwinx you the best Ohhh yeah you just save my life God bless you

Dude, you have vicariously save my butt. I have been tearing the very little hair out of my head. After spending a full week editing a workshop for my work, I thought I had blown the whole lot because FCP was 'still' referencing media...After trawling the net, and stumbling across your post, I tried it and it worked...I am in your debt my friend.

Perfect what an easy fix!

You just saved me a massive headache, may thanks.

A very minor but critical detail that got me quite agitated when it initially didn't work, is that you must have the Event clicked on the left, rather than the entire Library clicked. Having the Library clicked when selecting the events keeps the "relink" greyed; as opposed to having the just the event in the left column clicked, allowing for progression towards aforementioned solution....

Great stuff guys!

tfrakes, how did you get out of camera mode?

Hi,

This trick didn't work in my case because I had three corrupted files/clips as I learned after two hours of "playing" and trying to export my project (FCP10).

I attempted to use your tip but the files wouldn't reimport. The way I knew it: these three files unlike all the rest had a little camera sign on their thumbs. Also the way to see if there are any corrupted files in your project is to eject the card/camera and in that case the corrupted clips will turn red on your timeline with the warnign message on them.

Anyhow, these three short clips were essential for my youtube video instruction but easily reproducible. Took me 10 min. to shoot them and another 5 min to import and replace corrupted files and the whole project could be exported right away! I was so relieved and figured perhaps someone will avoid my pains out there...🙂

p.s. I had problems with this particular memory card before and I am blaming it for that ordeal. Trash...

Hope it helps, guys...

Thank u so much sorted out🙂🙂🙂

Thank you! Now i can finally go to sleep peacefully. In the 3 years that I've had FCX this has never happened until tonight.

Doesn't work for me. Says my camera with original files isn't connected when if fact it is. :(

In May 2017 it helped resolved my problem.. thanks..

thank you I needed to upload a video today to youtube but it wouldn't work thank you so much 🙂
