Media will not stay in library
Hello,
I have a new library. Imported footage from three cameras. When I’m done importing if I close and re-open FCPX all the media is gone. Its not unlinked and theres no red icons, its just gone. This isn’t happening with any other libraries. All of the media is still in the library file when I go to “Show package contents”. I re-imported and the same thing happens. Any advice? Has this happened to anyone else?
Thanks

I’m not, but if I was there would be a red icon that says “missing proxy”. All thats there is the “import media” button.
I was having issues with this library where I would get the “missing camera” icon even after I imported. Could it be an issue with the media itself?

This can also happen if there’s a bad drive, or if you mess with the folders in the finder- i.e. move them around after ingest, or are connecting via a SAN, etc.

The drive is fine. I’ve ran Disk Warrior and all the other libraries on that drive work fine. I’m using a RAID via Thunderbolt. Also I don’t ever mess with the file structure after the fact.

Does creating a new Library and reimporting to that Library make a difference. And are you importing directly from a camera card or are you copying the image to a local drive first and then importing from there?

We’ll see. I’ve done that and am re-importing now. I’m importing directly from the RAID.
Thanks for your responses. I really appreciate the help.

During re-import, first FCPX crashed and then froze the entire OS. I used Crash Analyzer to see what happened and got this:
Video Output
This crash appears to have occurred when trying to output video to an external monitor or deck.
Suggested ActionsSometimes this crash can occur if the deck is switched off. Check the deck is switched on before trying to output video.
Double-check all connections to the deck or monitor.
Check that the video format you are ouputting is compatible with your monitor and capture card / deck.
Check with the manufacturer of your output card for a driver or firmware update.
Disable the video output feature of the your card.
Disable or remove the card from your system.

I’m only using a second monitor.
This time, I imported one camera’s files at a time and this happened while importing footage from an Canon XA-10. However footage from a different XA-10 didn’t cause this.

Scratch that part about it only happening while importing from that camera. I deleted all those files on my system and re-copied from the card, and it froze my system again before I tried to import them.

Do you have a card reader or are you using your camera for this?
