It's important to remember to follow this sequence for this to work: 1) Selected all your work and "cut" 2) Deleted the offending clips from the project. 3) IMPORT them again FROM THE SAME SOURCE (Make sure they import properly) 4) Once all clips are imported, pasted your work back - voila.
I appreciate you for uploading this. I was losing it over here trying to figure out how the heck to upload since the old fix doesn't work since Theater is no longer supported. Cheers, mate!
OK I FIGURED IT OUT, the way it worked for me specifically cause I had the same error happen which was driving me nuts. I deleted the imported videos that weren't working, then saved the videos off my SD card to my computer. Went and re-inported them to my project and they came back in working. Never had this issue before, so glad it worked!
This isn't working for me, I'm losing my mind, as soon as I paste the timeline back in, the footage with the camera symbol appears again in project media. Also what someone suggested in the comments about copying the file to desktop didn't work. Aaaaaaahhhh 😫
It's Black Friday it wasn’t working for me either at first but what I did was after pasting the video content into a new video and imported the files that I saved to my desktop from my SD card.... after a while I tried everything and nothing worked until I deleted the other movies I was working on. Once I got rid of those other ones that I was working on with the ‘corrupted’ files in iMovie, then I was able to save my video right away.
Becca Wiss - thank you! That solved the problem! I guess I had a copy of the corrupted file in the library or another event and so I just started deleting a bunch of old movies and files. Then I was able to start fresh and apply RBR's fix! So thx to you both! :)
This was an awesome fix. First iMovie I have made. Took me way too long to make while trying to learn the software. Then to not be able to share the movie at completion I found myself depressed not knowing why and upset that software that has been around forever has problems like this without solutions for the users. People like you that not only figure out how to work around the issue but are also gracious enough to take the time to make a video about the fix are software saints. Now I can start with my second movie with no fear of not being able to share it with others. Thank you and all those that commented as I used their comments to help me understand that I needed to delete the clips not only from the project but also from the event to make it work properly.
Have to make sure to paste after you are finished re uploading the videos! It’s paste options-all then go back and it will make paste available and click it and everything will go back to the way you edited it!!! Thank you!!!! Saved my 29:09 minute EDITED video!!!!!
I've tried all these steps, including the suggestions made by others. Nothing's working. The clip with the video icon keeps coming back no matter what I do.
Exactly, same here. I almost lost my timeline if I had not copied it to my clipboard when I was trying to delete everything to see if maybe I had corrupt files therefore the camera icon was there, but that didn't work. Have you found a solution if so that would be awesome if you could share it with me. This problem only started after my third recording session I'm starting to think maybe my SD chip has too much to import to iMovie. On the importing platform on iMovie the clips keep popping up in blue... :(
Has anyone ever told you you're a life saver? If they haven't.... my guy, YOU ARE!!! I can't tell you how many times I've started over editing a video for my UA-cam Channel in FRUSTRATION because of this. I just tried your method and it worked PERFECTLY! Now I don't have to throw my laptop 😬🤣🥰
Life saver! Thanks for sharing. One part you didn't really mention is your paste of the project timeline once the clips have been deleted and re-imported, but one could infer. Also, I had to find duplicate clips in all of the "Project Media" and the "iMovie Library" before it would allow the re-import. Thanks again, good work!
Holy panic attack. My hands were sweating the whole time I was trying this, my heart was pounding but oh my goodness THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing this! You're a life saver! :)
Thank you so much for uploading this! I was about to lose it thinking I'd wasted 4 hours editing a new video to have to trash it. This worked and saved my file.
Mike, thanks for this video. I thought all hope was lost. It didn't work for me at first (on all files) but after reading some of the comments and following the steps to delete the "corrupted" file from ALL projects, it finally worked. You saved me hours of editing time. THANK YOU!!!
I had my video that took me hours on to edit ready & I had this same problem. At first I was really hesitant on cutting my work but I did everything you said & it worked!! Thank you! God bless you 😁
This actually helped me!! I was like "WTF What has happened." lmao, I was really unhappy & couldn't find a way to fix it until watching your video! Thankyou for however you originally figured it out & posting this video!!!
Thank you!!! I spent the better part of a day filming and editing only to have this happen. At first, this didn't work. Then, I realized that the clips (referenced from the camera) were still saved in my master iMovie library (not just the event). I had to do the cut, and delete the clips EVERYWHERE in my library, and then reimport them and paste and it worked!!!!
You saved my life. I developed gastritis because my iMovie kept on quitting but in the end I could paste the whole thing with no problem. Thank you and that faithful clipboard 🤣 oh the perversity of inanimate objects!!!!
This was a great video but it didn't work for me. So what I did was copied the file I need from the memory card onto the desktop and imported the video from there. I hope this helps.
That's great advise, thanks. I've pinned this comment to the top so that people who try the method in the video and it doesn't work, can try this option instead. Thanks again
@@mikehalls This may not have worked because they hit delete button instead of selecting the option to "Delete Media". When you press the delete button it just rejects the media, but is stays in your project.
It didn’t work for me but what I did is I deleted the file that had the camera sign at the bottom right; I then deleted the same video from my project and I dragged the video directly onto the project from the finder page. Thank you for this video ! It guided me to a solution!!
Thank you THANK YOU!! This solved the problem!! I had literally hundreds of clips to delete and it was quite nerve-racking having all my work sitting on the clipboard, then a CAT jumped up onto the desk out of nowhere!! No harm done but Holy moley! Bad time for a fuss kitty!!
This video helped me along with your pinned comment, saying how to actually paste the video back !! It’s 2021 & I know this video is a little older but it helped SO much. I thought I was gonna lose the video I spent HOURS editing 😭🎬🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️ Thanks so much for this !!
not me watching this, reading the comments, it not working, coming back reading more comments, and figuring it out and taking all the credit for being smart when it all worked lmmfao thanks yall
THANK YOU for this! I couldn't figure out what to do when I realized the footage didn't import correctly. I knew I had the problem in the past, but forgot the fix.
Thanks! I just had this issue after updating my operating system and iMovie. I had to delete the files several times and several different locations after trying to re upload several times. Finally got it to work. So frustrating!
Just ran into this issue. My big question is why does iMovie even allow you to build a project using "referenced media" to begin with!? Is there EVER a reason you would WANT to do this?
I can't get this to work. The camera icon keeps on appearing on the video even when I try importing it again. I've gone through the steps twice and it's not working.
Even to this day it still works and I know this because I literally just did this exact step by step process, and even found in comments one other helpful thing!!!! MAKE SURE THAT CLIP IS NOT IN ANY OTHER MEDIA PORTS AND IF SO DELETE THEM AS WELL! Thanks Mike!
you just saved a 40min video where I had multi-camera picture in picture videos that I tirelessly edited for the past couple days, 5 clips had this same problem. TWO THUMBS UP
This is truly a lifesaver, I was watching other tutorials mentioning the "Theater" I was like wtf it's not there 😂 I followed what you said and that worked thanks once again
spent all day editing to find this annoying message and took me 2 hrs to try and find a solution on my own, finally gave up and found your video, seriously heaven sent lol thank you!!!!!!☺️
MAKE SURE THAT YOU: 1. don't have this clip imported anywhere else in iMovie. 2. if you do, delete the projects that it is in AND the events in the iMovie library as well 3. have enough space so that when you try to import the clip again the same issue doesn't happen
OMG I was up until 1am trying to fix this by constantly just reuploading. I wish I had just Googled it at the start rather than wasting 2 hours that I don't have to spare. Thank you so much for sharing! :)
Didn't work for me. I tried everything in the video and several suggestions in the thread. I did figure it out. What I had to do was select all the media in my edit window (just like the video), cut all media, delete all corrupt video files from imovie (I checked all projects to make sure there were no copies), close imovie, eject my SD card, reopen imovie, open my project, paste the media back in the edit stream, plug my SD card back in, wait for the import window to pop up, allow the video to import to the wrong project, drag the fully imported video from the wrong project to the right project, close the project, reopen the project, and it worked. I pray this helps you. I was ready to cry!
This worked for us, thank you! I had created multiple projects so I needed to delete the media from all of them and then re-add and paste back in- it worked!
As with other commenters, you saved an entire video because, of course, all the editing was complete when I discovered this error. God bless you, man. I would buy you a beer if I could. I can't thank you enough.
Holy **** THANK YOU!!! This worked for me and I am so SO grateful for you sharing this simple yet ballsy solution!!! I subscribed to your channel out of sheer gratitude. You're amazing.
@@mikehalls you have no idea... or maybe you do based on the overwhelming comments to this video. Knowing there are people like you are out there makes a big difference. Thank you again.
This video was really helpful to me. I had trouble with sharing it cause of some missing media, but when you showed me this, I realized that I made the video, where does camera icons where in. But thankfully I didn't have to follow this. It had already turned into it's normal and now it's preparing for sharing:)
Thank You thank you! This worked for me! CUT all your work, Delete clips with that video symbol, re-upload, ONCE UPLOAD IS COMPLETE, paste video and your edited work will be there!
OMG thank you for this video - however this no longer works. How i DID get this to work was... Copy all the clips. Delete everything from the iMovie Library. Start a new project, and then upload the clips into the file. Then paste all the clips. =)
OMG Thank you, what kind of sick bug is this? Copied all my clips from Movies folder to desktop and re imported but 2 clips still had the symbol, did it all again with another set of copies and worked, phew, saved.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I've been scrambling to edit video for a project for my students at the end of the year. I had it all done and it wouldn't export to file. This worked like a charm. I only spent an hour pulling my hair out instead of 5 re-editing. :)
Try this link. I literally just googled it and it worked. Much faster also www.google.com/amp/s/www.imore.com/how-fix-failed-export-due-referenced-media-final-cut-pro-x%3famp
I’m stuck in a loop, I have a 20 minute video that has the camera thing on it and I cut, then delete the video then go to reupload the 20 minute vid, then iMovie crashes and I have to download it from my phone again to view the footage. Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks for this, experienced this error today but unfortunately your method didn’t work for me. Maybe the new version of iMovie does work with your method anymore. Have you found another way to do it currently? Thank you
You beautiful, beautiful man. This has literally saved me! Nothing else was working, but trusting in the Cut & Paste button to keep the project there paid off. Thank you :)
did you have to redo the entire video though after you did the new import? when you went to fix the rest of the clips and came back your whole movie was back up but you didnt show how you did that

Thanks a lot for the help . I was on here for a hour before I found your help . Greatly appreciated 👍👍👍👍
so glad it helped you
I know this is an older video, but I just wanted to say Thank You!!!! This worked for me! 😊
happy it helped you out! cheers
Not working for me - I feel like there is a piece of video missing here, after you remove them it doesn't give you the option to paste it back
Yeah its missing a piece
@@tishaelauren yeah, you just paste back in what you cut, sorry i missed that out somehow!
Where can you find your big clip that you cut and put in your clipboard
This helped me out so much! I had a few clips do this and thought I was going to have to re-edit my whole video.
BUT YOU DIDNT show how you put the clips back onto the timeline... I cut it, but how do I put it back after????
Imranda Ward paste

cheers
You literally just saved my life! Been trying to fix this for a week now
I had to comeback to watch this again! Thanks again for the help! :)

no problem, thanks for the comment
Saved my life and helped me hit my deadline. You are amazing. thanks for this.
any reason why this happens? I use a hardd rvie with an SD card to edit on my laptop to save space. I haven't had issues before until now.
Thank you SO much for this!! Do you know why the videos do this?
This video saved hours of my life, and kept me from having an emotion breakdown! 😂 Thank you sooo much!
