FCPX Export issue. Item cannot be shared while it is still referencing media on the camera

I am having issues with exporting a project I just shot and I missed my delivery day and am now late. Need help ASAP. I'll try to keep this as brief as possible and stick to the pertinent information.
The Shoot: -2 Panasonic HVX-200's shooting on P2 Media shooting a live event -Dumped footage onto external hard drive via Macbook Pro on set into separate folders for organization using a Panasonic P2 Reader. -All dumps were confirmed completed and all footage accounted for.
The System: -Using Final Cut Pro X 10.1.2 -Mac Pro Tower 2009 quad core running OSX Mavericks 16gb Ram -Blackmagic Intensity Pro Card
The Edit: -2 Camera multicam edit -Imported footage using import media function -Imported from external drive -(important note: a camera has never been connected to the computer for this project) -Edit is finished, about a 2hr 20 min finished sequence (live event 2 cameras switched in post, all graphics and everything is done)
The Problem: -When I go to export via the "Share" function i get an error that says "This Item cannot be shared while it is still referencing media on the camera" -Imported footage has the camera logo in the corner meaning that it is referencing camera media; yet no camera has ever been connected.
Solutions I have tried: -Re-importing media with re-import function --Says that the camera is not connected yet I never had one connected in the first place. -Deleting preferences -Biting the bullet and starting from scratch to do a re-edit -- footage will not import without referencing "camera media" -Tried importing via dragging and dropping. Says it cannot importing the following files, lists all of the XML and MXF files -Started a new event, with a new project, with a fresh import; same results -Googled this to death, no solution seems to work, but I'll try whatever I have to; client needs this ASAP.
Questions: -The external drive is not showing up as a camera, so why is it importing as camera media? -Is there a way to salvage my edit and get it exported? I have a lot of hours into this and quite frankly, no time to redo the whole thing.
Please help!

I have had this issue too, and figured a work around.  FYI, I rebooted, tried everything imaginable, and still no luck.  I opened up iPhoto, and imported all the video clips into iPhoto.  I then took the missing video from iPhoto, copied it to my desktop.  Then I re-imported the video (same name) into Final Cut. I had to do some slight editing of the video, but everything worked fine, and allowed me to upload the video to YouTube. 
Not certain it will work for others, but to recap, try to import the video into another program, then copy the missing video file to your desktop, and re-import to Final Cut.
Hope this helps.

  • IMovie 10.0.1 - This item cannot be shared while it is still referencing media on the camera

    I have my video media on my HD. I am able to IMPORT all clips from that media folder. My Timeline does NOT show the yellow triangle symbol (indicating offline media). All clips in the event plays properly in iMovie. However, when I try to export the project movie, it keeps saying "This item cannot be shared while it is still referencing media on the camera".
    I also noticed that when I quit imovie and re-open imove, some of the clips in the event shows the "Missing Camera" text. This happens every time I quit and re-open iMovie. I have to re-import the clips everytime I re-open iMovie. After re-importing, the yellow triangle disappears and all clips play properly, but still cannot share the movie. Is there a connection between the export issue and this issue?
    Very disappointed with this version of iMovie. This type of error should not happen.

    Someone else already mentioned this. Share to Theatre. This creates the movies in 1080p, 720p and 480p. It you then delete the theatre movie all 3 versions end up in Trash. Not a solution but it seems crazy that iMovie allows you to render the movie to Theatre but not to anywhere else when it thinks there are items" still referencing media on camera".

    Has anyone else received this error message
    "This item cannot be shared while it is still referencing media on the camera."
    It seems that many people are having trouble with exporting. This is why FCP is saying I can not export. I need a fix in a hurry.

    Thanks for responding Tom.
    We shot with 4 different cameras and 3 different models. 2 Canon models. 2 - 60Ds and 1 - 5D. The forth camera was a GoPro. I was not at that shoot. All Canon setups were 24P. Again not sure on the GoPro.
    The media was taken off the Card onto a MacBookPro and I transferred via external drive to my iMac. No camera was ever attached to the iMac. I am editing on the iMac.
    I did start teh edit in a Final Cut Pro X trial version. But I am not sure that it is causing any of this problem.
    yes. I have selected Copy Files to Final Cut Events Folder.

  • What is the error message "This item cannot be shared while it is still referencing media on the camera" mean?

    When I tried to create a movie, I got this message: "This item cannot be shared while it is still referencing media on the camera".  What does it mean? 
    How do I resolve it?

    eDude.com wrote: ... What does it mean? ....
    It means that you cannot share something unless it resides on your computer.
    eDude.com wrote:... How do I resolve it?
    Import all clips that you plan to use in your finished project to your Mac before you edit and share your finished work.

  • When I try and share to anything, I get "This item cannot be shared while it is still referencing media on the camera."

    When I try and share to anything such as a File or iTunes, I get "This item cannot be shared while it is still referencing media on the camera."  I've tried to consolidate all media but I'm not sure what else to try here.  If I remove the memory card from my Mac, then the project/movie I made can't "see" the clips.  Any ideas?

    Hit Command-9 to open the Background Tasks.
    Is anything active?

  • I can't get my project to share. A pop up screen comes up saying, "This item can't be shared while it is still referencing media on the camera". Does anyone know what this means.

    I can't get my project to share. A pop up screen comes up saying, "This item can't be shared while it is still referencing media on the camera". Does anyone know what this means. I'm confused because I don't have a camera hooked up to my computer.

    may you have directly imported clip to timeline without copying it to local drive..
    update project for links and check if missing clips are there..
    reconnect it if you have it on local drive..

  • HT201304 I need to restrict access to Settings on an iPad so settings like VoiceOver cannot be activated while letting them access multiple apps on the device. Is their any way to restrict access to settings without locking the device with a PIN?

    I need to restrict access to Settings on an iPad so settings like VoiceOver cannot be activated while letting them access multiple apps on the device. Is their any way to restrict access to settings without locking the device with a PIN?
    This is so our guests cannot tamper or disable the device. We are already using Apple Configurator but their does not seem to be a way to lock down settings without a PIN.

    There's a lot of restrictions information in Chapter 19 of the 4.2 User Guide.

  • FCPX Export Issue: Choppy/glitchy video

    When I'm exporting the finished MOV will be extremely choppy with the video. The audio will play perfectly (it's a 3 minute song) but the video will go glitchy and play 3 or 4 frames on a very fast loop, almost like a strobe. The footage was shot on a Canon 550d at 24fps and 50fps (the different frame rates hasn't given me issues while editing. Any help is much appreciated.

    Guys really appreciate the help, so thanks.
    This is what happens when the file is exported, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dui1uBnArRk lots of skipped/glithcy frames.
    My set up is: Macbook Pro, 4gb, using a 500gb external drive as the capture scratch with all video files on the external drive. The link I've given is exported straight from Final Cut to Youtube but the same thing happens regardless of codec used on export Some of the footage was shot in 25fps and some 50fps. It's all being played back at 50fps and works fine on playback so don't think it's the issue. The footage was shot on a Canon 550d (t21) and imported/edited as the imported file, no conversion done. This all worked fine for editing, on playback within FCPX it's all perfect but only on export that the issue occurs.

  • FCPX export issues

    Has anyone got any ideas why I see these terrible marks/ wavey lines after I export my project? - they are on fades that I've made by key framing. I don't see these when I play my project in fcp, it's only after I have exported it. It doesn't seem to make any sense.

    I've already tried exporting the project on every setting I can including uncompressed 10 bit.
    I have had a problem with error 1 when I was trying to export it which I've noticed lots of people have when I tried to export it in H.264 (where it says an error occured while creating frame 7223) however I managed to export it as a master file in Apple Pro Res 422 (HQ) but this didn't make sense to me as this is a larger higher quality file size.
    I don't really think this error should have any effect on the problem in the picture I posted I've taken a smaller sample of my whole project and exported it just fine and this is still a problem. I've also tried duplicating the project.. re rendering, creating it as new project etc etc just incase it was some kind of render issue but I've had no success at all.
    Also I've not used any third party effects it's just simple keyframing to black and from black to colour.

  • Cannot access shared folders on desktop but i can on the laptop

    as stated above i can access all my folders on my laptop from my desktop but not vice versa, a few weeks ago i had no problem,,,can anyone suggest a solution or suggest some  network software that is better than network magic for managing one's network. i only have a home network with 2 pc's,,,,also i hope the reply can come by email

    What is the model no of the Router...?
    Which operating system you are using on the laptop and on the desktop...?
    Make sure File and Printer Sharing is Enabled...
    Also make sure both the computer's are in the same workgroup...
    The default workgroup name in Windows Vista has been changed to WORKGROUP. In WindowsXP, the default workgroup name is MSHOME...

  • Panasonic HVX-200 and FCPX import issue

    I'm using a Panasonic HVX-200 and having trouble importing the data from the P2 cards into FCPX. I get this error message: The following clip encountered an error during import and is still referencing media on the camera:  The files play as long as the camera is connected, which is useless in the long run.

    I was on the phone today with several terrific Apple techs for about five hours and we may have gotten to the bottom of this.
    FCPX works well with many different recording formats of the HVX 200 and the p2 cards. But I have had issues with importing 720/30PN footage. It just would not work.
    After many hours of trouble shooting with me on the phone, the Apple tech was able to replicate the problem on an HVX 200 at their office.
    Apparently FCPX works with HVX 200 1080i, 480i, just about any footage except the 720 set.
    He opened an inquiry with the FCPX engineering department and they are looking into it.

  • Libsqlplus.so: cannot open shared object file

    After oracle-instantclient-sqlplus-10.1.0.3-1 rpm install on Red Hat, running sql plus gives:
    sqlplus: error while loading shared libraries: libsqlplus.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
    The fix is to include in the sqlplus rpm the file
    /etc/ld.so.conf.d/oracle-instantclient.conf
    which would contain this line:
    /usr/lib/oracle/10.1.0.3/client/lib/
    Also run ldconfig in post-install script.
    Thanks.

    Alternatively you can set LD_LIBRARY_PATH as mentioned
    in the notes:
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/docs/tech/sql_plus/10103/readme_ic.htm
    This is more flexibile than using ld.so.conf if you have
    another version of Oracle or the Instant Client installed.

  • SRS Browser Role Cannot Access Shared Data Sources

    I've created some reports using VS and shared data sources and deployed. I can run reports (I'm a domain admin), but users I've given system administrator roles within SRS cannot access shared data sources. However, if I embed the data source, everything
    is fine. I'm pulling data from three different servers, so the shared data sources are somewhat important.  I'm using SQL Native userid/passwords not windows authentication.  Anybody got any ideas?  I'm new to SRS.  Thanks.

    Hi Janetb,
    I’m confused about the meaning of “cannot access shared data sources”. Are you saying the user cannot see the Shared Data Sources in Report Server, but he can render the report well? Or the user cannot render the report well because he have no permission
    to access shared data sources?
    If in this first scenario, means that the role of the user have no permission to View data sources. To fix this issue, we can add View data sources task to the current role in SQL Server Management Studio.
    If in the second scenario, it is so strange. In my test, I add Browser role of the report to one user which has no permission to access the shared data sources, but he can render the report which retrieve data from the shared data sources very well.
    To troubleshooting this issue more efficiently, could you tell us the scenario you occurred and the error message you received? So that we can make further analysis and help you out.
    Thanks,
