Trying to backup my library in fcp x, followed the instructions on how to do so, but then I get an error saying There isn’t enough disk space to Consolidate Library Files. How much space do I need?
Info:
MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Mavericks (10.9.2)
I inadvertently changed the Library name of an FCP X file in the Finder Window and now FCP X won't open. I immediately changed it back to the original name, and FCP X still won't open. The FCP X logo comes up, and then the app seems to freeze and not open.
Info:
MacBook Pro (15-inch Glossy), Mac OS X (10.6.8)
I am unable to open a FCPX library (containing at least 10 projects and events). Final Cut attempts to load the events and projects in the library but after about 5 minutes the program shuts down and I get an Apple message giving me the option to report the problem.
All other libraries appear to work fine. I am guessing that the last project created within the affected library is corrupt. i have tried removing the render files in that last p and I have copied the library to another drive and neither worked.

We have ordered and installed FCP X .....except on 2 machines we are unable to create new libraries. When I click on File, it only gives us options to create a New Project or New Event.
Info:
Final Cut Pro X, OS X Mavericks (10.9.2)
When I click the little triangle next to the event in the library, it spins downward and no video files show. It's my second project for a new company and on a brand new computer with a new install of final cut pro X and glitches are already starting to show.

I have one library that I am unable to open. It worked fine yesterday but now it just hangs with a message 'Loading "XYZ" event'. Even its backups in the Movies folder won't open. All the other libraries I've tried to open do so without any problem, so it seems the trouble is restricted to this one library and its backups.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI have a strange thing happening when I attempt to update a Final Cut Project and Event from FCPX 10.9. I'm choosing to update manually. When I tell FCPX to go ahead and update, everything looks like it is happening as planned - except that inside of Final Cut the Project files are no where to be found. I know Final Cut is supposed to put them into an Event created especially for the old Projects. But when I look for it there are no project files. When I look at what actually took place at the finder level I find that all the Events have been moved just fine but the old Project Folder is left alone and still intact.

I updated everything to FCPX 10.1.1.
Some clips became unlinked. I go to link them ... and am stopped dead by the NEW Library Icon (with all it's internal folders no longer seemingly accessible). I know the file is in there - if I do a search in Finder for the missing media, it takes me right to where it is.
When I do a relink, stopped dead in my tracks by the new format. How do I access the folders hidden in the new Project Library to relink my clips with their original media?

Working on an iMac with a FCX library that links to an external media folder which has all my video. I'm not using managed media, but external links to the video source footage.
I make an exact duplicate copy of my FCX library on a USB drive, including the external media folder with all my video clips -- using the same folder structure and everything, But when I move that to another computer (MacBook Pro), open the exact same FCX library, open the same project -- I get missing links on every clip on my timeline. The library doesn't connect to the external media folder.
Re-linking causes an error and doesn't work either. The FCX library just won't take my "external media" folder which it links to fine on my iMac. All my projects on my MacBook Pro, have red "missing file" icons instead of the clips.
Running FCX 10.1.4. and Yosemite.

Fcpx editing error, library not open，The backup file is not open。
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to import a library of my Mac Book Pro to My Imac (FCPX 10.1.3).
When I try to open it in my iMac, all the clips are ok in the browser but the project is not working, see image ....
FCPX says media is missing, but "show package contents" on the library file shows all of the media where it is supposed to be. How do I make FCPX see the media?

I have tried to copy a consolidated library (156GB) to another drive. I have tried this twice and everything seems to be there, however when I play the project, the sound drops out in many places. (Both dialog and music tracks) Is there a way to copy the library to a new drive and not have problems? Should I "copy events to to a new library"?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI opened up fcpx and out of nowhere one of the projects I was working on is missing and there is an explanation point next to the event name. But when I go into the actual library folder inside finder I can see the project name in there. I also see inside fcpx at the bottom is a "no data (1)" portion where the media or projects go.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a new 27" iMac with 32GB Ram, Fusion Drive. OSX 10.9, FCP 10.1.3. Compressor and motion both installed. I used time machine to import everything from my old machine. Everything seems to work except for FCP. When I start it I get the choose library dialog. No matter if I choose use existing or new I get the Final Cut Pro has quit unexpectedly message.
FCP seems to work on other logins, old and newly created ones, just not this user. I'd really like to keep this user instead of starting over as this is a lab profile with a lot of settings to configure. So far have tried
-Deleting prefs
-Uninstalling FCP and reinstalling FCP per Apples support doc.
-Creating new user - FCP works here
-Repair Disk permissions
-Running Digital Rebellion's Crash Analyzer - said it was the user interface and to run Housekeeping which did not work.

Just updated to 10.1.3 from 10.1.2 and video files import without audio into library. Audio shows and plays in media import window. Everything from before update is fine.

I store all my libraries on an external hard drive and today my dad unplugged it without ejecting it. When I went to reopen it it said it was corrupted and will no longer open in final cut. in fact, it just crashes final cut. I have a video editing business and have hours worth of work in the library.
View 3 Replies View RelatedNeed instructions for deleting unwanted (or rather unused) video completely from FCPX library?
I have always been a bit timid about deleting the unused portions of my clips.
On Final Cut Pro 7, I would have my computer with an external hard drive with footage and I would edit on that. I would then email the small project file to a co-editor who would pick up where I left off. It was a very fast baton pass because he had his own computer with a clone of my external hard drive with the footage. We would pass the baton back and forth all the time.
I am trying to figure out how I can do this in Final Cut Pro X. I understand you can transfer/copy the library, but that would involve copying 100s of GBs at a time. Possibly TBs. And please note that I'm not just looking to copy sequences alone (or "projects" as they're now called in FCP X). In FCP7, the project file would contain all organization, labeling, tagging, etc of all clips, as well as all sequences.
Is there a way two pass the baton in the way I am looking for? This is imperative to my workflow.

Removing either Events or Projects from the Library manually (deleting from package contents on drive)?
Any reason there could be a problem?
FCP X 10.1.2 just completely crashed - showing a white screen of death.
Now after restarting, the event I was working on shows a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark and my project is gone. Not even listed any more.
I have already repaired the hard drive and trashed the flexolibrary file but that didn't work.
Previous versions of FCP X had a backup-folder but in 10.1.2 I can't find it any more. It seems one week of hard work has just vanished.
I have foolishly allowed a Library to build up on my boot disk and wish to move it to an external.
I know I can shutdown FCP X and copy it across manually but I would like to use the "Move Library" control in the File Menu.
For some reason it's greyed out in spite of me selecting the Library.

When starting FCP X, it comes up with an error message that says, that it is unable to connect to my NAS-Server (located at home, not at work). First i thought this is because i have a project linking to some files on the NAS, but later i found out, that FCP X tries to connect to the media of Iphoto, which is located in my home network on a NAS even if there is no project containing any pictures of Iphoto.
The error message continuous to appear even if i click OK. What to do?
I have old large projects with a lot of b roll I will not use again and want to delete each unused clip. What is the best way to delete these safely. I can go into the library, show package contents and delete the clips there, but will that upset the library. And is there a way to delete just the parts of the clips that are unused? So If I have a 30s clip, have used 5s and want to delete the rest of the clip around the 5s, is that possible? Trying to recover some drive space to save buying a new media drive....

View 1 Replies View RelatedI work with FCP X for 8 hours every day. One thing that keeps interrupting my workflow, oftentimes crashing FCP, are the automatic library backups. Is there a place I can adjust settings, mainly the frequency of backups? It seems to backup way too often on my machine. About every 15 minutes or so. And it completely haults any job I'm currently running.My work also requires I have many libraries open at once, which leads to the frequent backups of the many libraries.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI recently got a new mac and had backed up all my saved data onto an external hard drive with my old one. When I was setting up my new mac I recovered it from an existing backup (my old computer) and everything seemed to be back to normal. On my old computer I was in the process of making a video with Final Cut Pro X and made sure that it was backed up onto the external hard drive. On my new mac when I tried to recover it, it appeared as a file that couldn't be opened with FCP. Within FCP it had the video but all of the files were missing. I started to relink all of the files but there has to be a faster way. How do I recover this file? Is there a way to just import the backup without having to ever relink files?
