Q: Unable to Relink Camera Files to Media Files
It all began when I realized that I was unable to share my project. I was only trying to create a 'still image' at the time, which requires the share menu, and I discovered that the menu was greyed out. (By the way, the project is completely edited.) I also discovered that whenever I removed my memory card from my laptop, I would get the red error saying "missing camera." So at that point, I downloaded all media files from the memory card into a folder I created for them on my desktop. Then I went through the process of trying to "relink files."
In the 'finder,' only two clips would show up to be relinked. Once I relinked those, they no longer had the tiny camera icon in the corner of their thumbnails as they had been successfully relinked to the media files in the folder. They also no longer showed up as "missing camera" when I removed the memory card. The rest of the files, however, still remain to be relinked and I don't know why they don't show up in the finder when I try to relink them. That point is especially strange to me because only two clips show up though all the files are in the exact same place and were all imported at the same time.
Btw, I've tried transcoding/optimized media to no avail.
If you have encountered this issue or understand what's going on, please aid me. Also, please communicate in layman's terms as I am not a tech wiz just yet.
Thanks.
