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 In the Finder, select the camera archive.
2 Hold down the Control key and choose Move to Trash from the shortcut menu that appears.
3 Control-click or click and hold the Trash icon in your Dock, and choose Empty Trash from the
shortcut menu.
Important: Emptying the Trash permanently deletes the camera archive.
Solutions to common media management issues
Alert icons
When you see red frames and a yellow alert triangle in a Timeline or event, Final Cut Pro is
alerting you that part of your project or event is missing. There are many reasons that clips and
events, media files, and effects can be missing: moving projects and events between computers
and actively managing your Final Cut Pro events or Projects folder using the Finder are two
common reasons.
For more information about where events, clips, projects, and files are located, see Where your
media and project files are located on page 390.
