When I try to share a video from iMovie, it tells me that it cannot export while it's still referencing media from the camera.

Hello EmilyAnzalone,

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

From your post it appears that the content has not yet finished importing to your iMovie Library. When importing content to iMovie, you'll see a status circle in the top right corner, and clicking on it will show you the estimated time remaining on the process. As long as the content still exists on your SD card, I'd like you to remove the clips from iMovie, and then attempt the import again.

Have a good one,

Hello,

I have exactly the same problem. When I import, I sees the circle showing the progress, when it is done, the circle become a small camera icon and when I mouse over it it tells me the media is always on the camera and I need to go to the "File" menu and select: "reimport from the camera/ archived", but this function doesn't exist in the file menu ???

Any advices?

Thanks

Hey there EmilyAnzalone,

Since the issue persists even after trying to reimport the content, then I recommend getting in contact with Apple Support using the link below.
