IPhoto: A required data reference could not be evaluated

Hello,

I have a problem with playing several videos in iPhoto.
When I click on the thumbnail of the video (named "vacances"), it doesn't play, but I get the message: "A required data reference could not be resolved."

If I search (cmd f) in Finder, two videos appear: "vacances" (27kb) and "vacances_2" (215Mb).

If I search in iPhoto, there is only the video "vacances" that is unreadable.

If anyone can help me, please.

iMac 2.4 GHz, Intel Core 2 Duo, OSX 10.9.1, iPhoto 9.5.1

Hello,

A video file of 27KB (that's the case with the "vacances" file) is empty!
A video file of 215MB has something to show.
So, in my humble opinion, after importing your video into iPhoto, you or someone else had the crazy idea of renaming or moving the video file, which caused the error in iPhoto.
So since you found your video file (vacances_2), ask iPhoto to import it.
