Chapter 3 Importmedia 29
To play a clip with a Camera icon, Final Cut Pro locates the media on either a
connected camera or in a connected, available camera archive. (See “Access media
on an archive or disk image” on page 42 for more information.) If Final Cut Pro can’t
locate the media in one of those locations, the clip will go oine and display the
Missing Camera alert icon.
 If the clip’s source media le is not available: If a clip’s source media le is moved or
deleted, or the volume it is located on is disconnected from the computer, a Missing
File icon is displayed on the clip. To restore the clip, you can reimport it.
See “Alert icons” on page 492 for more information about alert icons.
When you reimport a clip, Final Cut Pro automatically connects to the necessary
camera or camera archive. There is no need to manually mount a camera archive
before reimporting.
1 Do one of the following:
Connect the camera that contains the clip to your computer, and turn it on. Â
This will bring the clip online, but the clip will still display the Camera icon in the
lower-left corner.
Insert the memory card that contains the clip in your computer or connected Â
card reader.
See “About memory cards and cables” on page 48 for more information.
Make sure the camera archive that contains the clip is located in one of the Â
Final Cut Pro camera archives.
See “Create and manage camera archives” on page 488 for more information.
2 In Final Cut Pro, do one of the following:
 To reimport one clip: Select the clip in the Event Browser.
 To reimport all clips in an Event: Select the Event the clip belongs to in the Event
Browser sidebar.
3 Choose File > Import > Reimport from Camera/Archive.
The clip or clips are reimported.
