    Probably. My clips are in the library. But from now on, I’m going to import all footage into a central ‘footage’ drive. So I can avoid these issues working with multiple libraries, events and project. I have to say, this media management for me is a major hurdle and probably will result in shifting to premiere. I’m not a metadata person, so not being able to sort clips and see which clips have issues, is a big problem- especially working on a long format documentary.

    Thanks, I was trying to avoid this process, but it seems that’s where I’m at. Wish there was a way in X to have the clip info tell you. Most likely they didn’t import correctly.

    I tried that last night to see if it could read the card files that were on the backup drive, but no luck. I think at this point, I’ll just have to do the one clip at a time thing. It’s frustrating that there is no “clip info” or anything to see which clip is the unlinked/reference clip.

    Thanks, Jeff.

    I tried consolidating my media and the same problem occurs. I don’t see how the clips could be referencing files on the card because I store my SD card files on a separate hard drive that’s not connected when I edit. I’m guessing I moved around a clip on the hard drive to sort it. Most likely I’ll have to do a clip by clip reimport, but I was hoping someone could direct me to a place where you can see which clip(s) is the one that’s unlinked? Is that feature possible in FCPX?

    Thanks, Noah.
    So you don’t know a way to determine which are the troublesome clips? Like I mentioned, they are all showing up in the project timeline and playback fine, it’s only on export (share) that I receive the message.

  • Hi James, Thanks for your reply. I’m not using an external audio device. After trying seemingly everything, I found a post from the archives with Ken Stone, where he suggested deleting the FCP libraries and restarting. That didn’t help at first. The project still was playing back without the sound. So I created a new project file and copied all the clips onto that timeline. So far, fingers crossed, that did the trick. Hope this problem doesn’t happen again!
