Move or copy a camera archive
1. In the Finder, select the camera archive that you want to move or copy.
2. Do one of the following:
• Move the camera archive on your local disk: Drag the camera archive to a new
location.
• Copy the camera archive on your local disk: Hold down the Option key and drag the
camera archive to a new location on your local disk.
• Copy the camera archive to an external storage device: Drag the camera archive to a

Delete a camera archive
Camera archives are very small relative to other media files, and often don’t warrant being
deleted. However, you can delete a camera archive at any time.
1. Control-click the camera archive in the Finder, then choose Move to Trash.
2. Control-click the Trash icon in the Dock, then choose Empty Trash.
Important: Emptying the Trash permanently deletes the camera archive.
Common media management issues
Alert icons in Final Cut Pro
When you see red frames and a yellow alert triangle in the timeline or an event, it means
that part of your project or event is missing. There are many reasons that clips, events,
media files, and effects can be missing—for example, moving projects, events, and files
between computers or actively managing your media using the Finder.
Final Cut Pro events and clips
Icon Alert Description
Missing Clip A clip used in a Final Cut Pro project
or event is not available.
You may see this alert if you moved
the clip to the Trash, moved a clip
(or an event), moved a project to a
different location, or consolidated a
different project’s media.
Missing Camera A camera that contains files used
in Final Cut Pro is not connected to
your system.
To avoid getting this alert, create a
copy of the media when you import
it. See Organize files during import
into Final Cut Pro.
