Message: The following clip encountered an error during import and is still referencing media on the camera:

I am getting this message when I try to import files from Canon C100: The following clip encountered an error during import and is still referencing media on the camera:
These are AVCHD files and it seems to be happening randomly.  With different clips as I try to import...happening both with regular importing and with Create Optimized Media...
It just started happening yesterday-never had this problem before and have uploaded countless times with this camera and system. THanks.

Update: OK, I just tried to import the footage into another hard drive (an internal hard drive) and it seems to be going fine now.  Maybe something is corrupted on the external hard drive I was importing into...wierd.

  • Why do i getThe following clip encountered an error during import and is still referencing media on the camera:

    When importing in FCPX 10.1.3 I get: The following clip encountered an error during import and is still referencing media on the camera:  ??? anyone

    I get this sometimes too, when importing from P2 cards.  Sometimes it takes me a few tries to get it imported.  I have noticed that it seems to work better when I actually mark an IN and Out for the clip, but that's not totally a solution.

  • Import failed the following clip encountered an error during import and is still referencing media on the camera

    This is one of the many error windows I'm getting.  This MVI_9935 is from 5DMIII.  But I'm also getting the same errors for other files with the exact same error message for Panasonic AF100.  All shot at 23.976fps. 
    * 5D is h.264. They're all about the maximum lengths (of ~30 minutes).
    * Panasonic footage is AVCHD wrapped MTS files.  Two clips of this kind are about 75 minutes long each.
    I have dealt with this problem by doing ALL of the steps I've read so far for each shoot and it takes too long... I'm doing
    1) making FCPX archives
    2) copying the all of the contents from each card (with the file structure intact) and pasting them onto an external hard drive (eSATA with 3TB space... with a plenty of empty space ~ 1TB)
    3) copying and pasting just the video files onto an internal hard drive (separate from the system drive but same as where the project files are)
    And I click through each error window (which takes about a full working day or more) and then when I _still_ see missing footage indicated by
    that little "video camera" icon on the bottom left (as you can see above).  What I do at this point is to:
    1) re-import from one of the FCPX Archives, and if this does not work, I
    2) re-import from one of the directly copied files.
    Sometimes, I need to create a new event and re-import if the clip is still **referencing** the media on the camera.
    I did not have this problem **before** FCPX's import window combined both spanned clips and individual files (circa version 10.0.5 or 10.0.6).
    Now I have an Evernote notebook dedicated this problem and just from Google Searching, I have gathered 7 notes from different discussion forums dealindg with the same issue.
    Some things that are common to us who are having problems:
    1) we deal with big files (for long shoots)
    2) we either use Canon 5DMIII or mix and match different types of codecs / wrappers.
    3) we end up wasting so much time because Apple support is not paying attention.
    4) or maybe we don't know how to get support from Apple.  I know this isn't a forum where an Apple employee checks.  Where can we directly contact Apple about this?

    For the 5D clips, copy ONLY the .mov files into a folder on your external drive or wherever else you want to put them and import from there. You can safely ignore the .thm files and other stuff. Pretty easy and you also will have an archive of your clips. For the Panasonic files, copy ALL the contents of the card and use import from camera.
    If you want to import from the card to an event - with the 5D at least - you can use a card reader. Don't use the camera itself. It does work but it is slow and cumbersome and card readers are cheap.
    Create an event, hit import from camera and the card should show up.
    Sorry, not familiar with the Panasonics but some of the other guys at work use P2 cards and I have imported from them a couple of times with no problem using both a P2 card reader and importing directly from the camera via firewire.
    I use the previously mentioned method with all my Canon files - 5D2, 5D3, 60D and 7D - and have never had a single problem.
    Hope this helps.

  • 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?

    It means that you cannot share something unless it resides on your computer.

    Import all clips that you plan to use in your finished project to your Mac before you edit and share your finished work.

  • 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".

  • This item cannot be shared while it is still referencing media on the 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.
    -m

    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.

  • 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..

    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?

  • IDVD working till I installed 2TB ED. Keep getting message"There was an internal iDVD error during the last action. This is not a movie." Any help is appreciated.

    iMovie message "There was an internal iDVD error during the last action. This is not a movie." comes up after trying to create a movie to burn to iDVD. Recently added a 2TB external drive to free up memory from HD. iDVD was working fine till the ED was added. Can't burn DVDs anymore. Any suggestions on how to fix the problem?

    What  folders did you move to the EHD? Any of the basic Home folders?  What format is the EHD?  It should be OS X Extended (journaled).  Do you have any files that iDVD uses on the EHS, i.e. project files, media files?
