When this occurs:
The export process halts when Filmora cannot locate original media files that were moved, renamed, or deleted after being added to your project.

Step-by-Step Solution:

1. Pause the Export

   • Click "Cancel" when the error appears

   • Return to the Project Media library

2. Identify Missing Files

   • Look for files with:

     • Red "!" warning icons

     • "Media Offline" watermarks in preview

3. Relink Media

   • Select the missing file → Click "RELOCATE"

   • Navigate to the file's new location

   • Confirm selection

4. Final Verification

   • Once the relocation is completed, try exporting the video again.

Critical Prevention Tips

• Lock Media Locations: Avoid moving/renaming files during editing

• Project Archiving: Use File > Archive Project to bundle assets
