How To Fix Final Cut Pro X Import Problem | FCPX Won't Import Media Files | Paul Wright

I tried your method, it didn't work, but then I contacted Apple Support Community Guidelines, and I was asked to DELETE PREFERENCES, you can do this by holding Command and Option Key while opening Final Cut, then delete preferences. Worked like magic. (Make sure to hold both keys before trying to open the app). Thanks

Thank you buddy, i also deleted everything so went through same issue,, now its fixed ,,🙏🙏🙏🙏

You bloody legend I was 1 step away from head butting my Mac!

I love you, man!

this video was a life saver even 5 years later, thank you so much for uploading this

Thank you so much 🤝

Thank you now I don't have the same problem that you had anymore! <3

Paul, thanks for the effort. Nevertheless, I've discovered another, much easier way. Just put the file(s) on the desktop, then drag and drop it into the timeline.

Just Tried it and worked perfectly, thanks man!!!!!

Thanks from Chicago

Wow thank you so much!!!! Ive been using it for years and had to reload it on a new desktop and couldn't figure out why it wasn't importing. Saved me so much time.

Life saver🎉

Ya know I came across this video years ago before I ran into this issue myself and now I did exactly what you said here... deleted a large library file and couldn't upload. I owe you one man!

For anyone who tried this and it is still now working...
I brought my computer to a repair shop as I thought it was a corrupted hard drive but actually it was a simple fcpx software fix. The library I was importing to was corrupted. Simply create a new library and upload the videos to that one.

4 years on and this video is still relevant ... thank you Paul.

THANK YOUUU !!!

Osm ❤️
