Joe here are my answers.
Was the media imported with “leave files in place” – YES. It was imported from their hard drive to my hard drive will all of the other 200 clips that play fine.
“Did you try to access those media files from Finder? Is is possible the drive was momentarily off line?” – The drive was not off line as all of my other video clips were playing fine from the same drive. I could not access the files through FCPX but I could in finder from the hard drive.
“You can sometimes fix this by deleting the FCPX cache and restarting FCPX” – I did both it didn’t help.
To your other comments and Brett’s comments, these files played fine at first and then suddenly they went off line. I did find a weird solution through Ripple Training. Here’s the link . I can’t figure out why this worked, but it did.

No. This was shot by a crew in another state, and they shipped me the drive with the video files. We do this all of the time.

Yes just right click on the combination of clips you want to use and select Compound clip from the options.
Simple

Thanks Todd,
I really do not have time or have the budget for detective work. I was hoping someone may have done something similar here.

Congrats Todd!! Glad to hear things are improving. I know what you mean.
Suddenly we were signed to a very large project, and I needed to hire a new lawyer which was very challenging!! Then I had to go back and forth with the client’s legal team., and keep revising our agreement. Sheeeesh…
Now I also have my accountant involved. Hopefully I can get back to being creative again.

I have a friend who contracts out the shooting and just edits the videos. He doesn’t make as much as when he shot weddings, but it’s easier once you have a stable of good shooters(with people skills) to work for you.

Since my name was mentioned by Mark (even jokingly) I thought I’d chime in.
I believe you can do several options:
Option 1. Find an outside accounting firm to handle all invoices and billing, and find a sales person/account executive to find clients. You serve as producer/director/editor along wth others on your staff. After chatting with you about business, I know you are a producer as well.
Option 2. Sell your business but remain as a consultant for the business. Perhaps your employees want to buy you out? I believe you know your craft and clients better than anyone else would. You build your business to what it is today. That has tremendous value.
Option 3. Hire an outside accounting firm and hire a producer/sales person. This will help keep things where they are, with the least amount of pain of change.
Hope this helps somewhat. Best wishes Terry. I know you’ll make a great decision.!
