Sharing issue: This item cannot be shared while it is still referencing media on
What does this mean and how do I fix it? This item cannot be shared while it is still referencing media on the camera.
Trying to share a completed project. Import set to “leave files in place”. How do I ID the culprit file and remedy?
TIA.
FCP 10.6.6 Mac mini M1 OS 13.4

I got this from a web search.
If you encounter the error message “This item cannot be shared while it is still referencing media on the camera” while using Apple Final Cut Pro X, there are a few possible solutions. One solution is to go to File / Import / Re-Import from Camera Archive, where FCPX automatically finds and re-imports the files that need to be imported. Another solution is to delete the FCPX cache and restart FCPX to fix transient red clips caused by a “stale cache” problem. This can happen due to a drive going off line or multiple external drives mounting in a different order after restart.

So when you imported your media, where was it originally? You have something FCP is looking for and can’t find the original of. You could try to change the storage location to Library and do a Consolidate command.
