Original Files Are Missing in Final Cut Pro X

I was importing a video file off my iPhone via USB into Final Cut Pro X and then it crashed... When it reopened, all my media files were missing; pictures, media clips, audio, etc, gone.


Naturally I researched it and found tutorials and read forums but the tips didn't help. All I could find was "relinking' the files and clicking on the 'backup' projects... but that didn't work either. I'm sure I'm a few clicks away from a solution. Can you help me repopulate my media files.


I'm working on a MacBook and all the files should be on this laptop.

Thank you.

MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 14.6

It appears that the files didn’t finish importing. Attach the iPhone to your mac and try File->Import->Reimport from Csmera/Archive
