Importing files fails in 10.0.7
Hello all,
After installing the latest update to FCPX (10.0.7) I get an error message any time I try and import .MOV files into an Event. It gets all the way done, then generates this message about how the import encountered an error. Anyone else getting this message, or know what I’m doing wrong? This is preventing me from getting some pretty important work done. Any help, as always, is very much appreciated.

Are you importing into an event created prior to 10.0.6?
I have weird issues with projects and events created pre-10.0.6
If you haven’t tried it yet, import the movie into a new event and see if that takes it.
Also make sure the movie plays back fine in quicktime.

Yeah, it’s all stuff that I made after 10.0.7. All the files play just fine in QuickTime. This is getting so frustrating.

Never seen that. What’s the error message?

It just says, “There was an error importing the files.”
There’s not an error code or anything to reference. I even uninstalled and reinstalled the program to see of that would fix it. No luck.

Do you have a smaller one you could upload so someone else could try it? What’s the codec of the video clip?

I’ll try a smaller file, and assuming it fails, upload it for use. It’s a .mov with an h264 codec, I think. It was shot on a DSLR. I just stepped out, but when I get back I’ll upload the file. Thanks.

I tried one last thing, to no avail. Before (since vanilla 10.0.0) I’ve been importing all my files directly from my external HDD. This hasn’t created any problems at all. Not since 10.0.7. So I tried moving the files to my internal HDD, and still got the error message:
“The following clip encountered an error during import and is still referencing media on the camera:”
Even though it’s not on a camera. I have no idea what the crap is going on. I’ll reply with a link to a smaller file once it’s been uploaded.
Also, I was wrong about the DSLR files using an h264 codec. They are .MOV files using a MPEG4 codec.

I’m having the exact same error, and its upsetting, because the entire import of 100GB for a project stops until you click the stupid error popup.
“The following clip encountered an error during import and is still referencing media on the camera:”
After the import, the file actually seems fine too.
My workflow:
copy files, with folder structure from 5DMKII to external HD.
use the “new” (but crappy) import tool in FCPX.
get error while importing…
not sure why, there is no camera to reference, the files are from the HD.
I’ve beeen digging FCPX for DSLR workflow until this version. The batch export (share monitor) was nice too. Now, I share many projects in a row and I cant see where a list of those is.. even though it does get them rendered and uploaded.
