I've had this happen before and I've fixed it, but it was last summer when it happened and I can't remember how I did it.

Basically, in the middle of an import, my card, for some reason, said it got ejected. It looked like 2 or 3 of my clips got imported fine, but the rest did not. Now when I go into to re-import them, it acts normal, but the clips aren't there. I've done this a number of times and each time I select the files and click "import", the import screen goes away (like it should) but nothing happens.

Any suggestions?

I've had this happen before during import and experienced something similar where the clips appears with the media missing warning. I've tried relocating- relinking-reimporting the missing files sometimes with no luck.

I usually confirm that the original clips are at least there by right clicking the actual Final Cut Pro library on the hard drive>show package contents

Find the event>Original Media folder and then confirm the original media has been imported in there.

I may make a copy from that folder to the desktop and try reimporting the copy. Strange.
