Body: <p>I am building a video using media all on my local hard drive. When I watch the video preview in Final Cut, there's no missing media clips. However, when I bring the project into Compressor, the clips are missing and there's some areas where there's a red screen and camera, signifying missing media.</p>
  
  <p>My question is, why does the media have no problem showing up in the Final Cut preview window yet when I export to compressor, it doesn't work out. Are effects in Final Cut screwing up the media when it makes it to Compressor?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks for the help - I'm in a crunch on this project, and can't figure out why Compressor says media is missing.</p>

  Is your Final Cut event using proxy media? It's possible the original media has been moved and Compressor can't find it.
