[Alan Langdon] “I have not tried reseting the prefs, how can I do this in FCPX?”
Hold Option-Command down while starting up FCPX. Hold until you see the dialogue box.
[Alan Langdon] “So every time I open again FCPX, it doesn’t have its teeth sunk into the footage and claims the camera is missing.”
Are you importing this from a card? If so, with the card active and the missing clips selected, use the Import from Camera/Archive and wait until the import is finished, then eject the card. My students do this all the time along with accidentally creating a Project on the card as well. It’s easy to do if not careful.
