Jan 16, 2014 3:08 PM in response to 1Jaybird2by Tom Wolsky,Please post screen shots. What's projects and events.fcpbundle? What does it contain? Show us the libraries with it selected.

Jan 16, 2014 6:41 PM in response to Tom Wolskyby 1Jaybird2,I upgraded to Mavericks, then fcpx 10.1. The new fcp bundle does not contain the project, only the event. The project is not in the library. Somehow I must have screwed up with the upgrade process. I know the "old version project" didn't vaporize, but it's hidden somewhere. I'd like to find it, convert it to the new version and import it into the library. Is that possible, or do I have to start the project over from scratch with the new version?

Dont have any project any more
.
I can find a fcp file called Currentversion both in the new library and the old.
but only text edit opens it.
Please help. I'm losing weeks of work.

Mar 6, 2014 5:59 AM in response to steyeby Russ H,It can't be emphasized enough: Before updating to 10.1, users need to learn about the very substantial differences between the media organization of 10.1 and previous versions. Here is just one source; nearly all the FCPX training authors produced info on this.

Mar 6, 2014 7:10 AM in response to 1Jaybird2by Luis Sequeira1,Like Russ said, users should learn about the new ways.
The updated projects are in an event called "Updated Projects".

Mar 6, 2014 8:45 AM in response to 1Jaybird2by steye,Hey Russ and Luis,
Thanx for the reply. I will start a new thread.
@ luis I found the folder with updated projects!
Unfortunately it only contains 3 projects and not the 2 that are really important to have right now..
Do you have more tips?
Thanx in advance!

Were the projects originally from the same drive or different drives?

Mar 6, 2014 9:39 AM in response to steyeby Russ H,For the 10.1 app to see the old projects, they would have to be in a Final Cut Projects folder – located in the Movies folder of your boot drive or at the root level of a non boot drive. Anything it sees, it asks you to verify that you want updated and then places them in the Updated Projects event folder that Luis mentioned. The app also asks you whether you want to save the original projects (and events) or trash them.
My point in recapping all of this is that if FCPX 10.1 did not update the missing 2 projects, then the project (and event) folders are somewhere. They don't get over-written, or moved if the app doesn't see them. Perhaps you had previously moved them to a folder outside the Final Cut Projects folder? Why not do a system-wide search on .fcpproject?Russ

Mar 6, 2014 1:06 PM in response to 1Jaybird2by steye,Hey Russ,
Thank you again for the reply!
I found the project too.
But i'm not able to find a way to open it or to import it.
the weird thing is that i found it in the movies folder on my macbookpro's harddrive. while in fcp the event and belonging projects were allways on my external hardrive..
do you know how I can open it?
should I copy it to the eventfolder on my external harddrive?
Many thanx again!

Mar 6, 2014 1:55 PM in response to steyeby Russ H,In FCPX File Projects & Events. Then navigate to the folder.

Mar 7, 2014 2:02 AM in response to steyeby Luis Sequeira1,If the folder structure is intact, and it is inside "Final Cut Projects", inside your Movies folder, then you should go to File->Update Projects and Events, and select your system drive, and it should do the updating, placing it in a new library.

Mar 7, 2014 6:21 AM in response to Luis Sequeira1by steye,it just doesnt work..
I can find the project on my harddisk. now even the updated one but fcp keeps telling me it cant find anything to update ..
in fcp there are only 3 projects..
in my updated folder there are at least 20..
but i cant make a connection in any way.
I can open them with text edit..
the weird thing remains that the project that I'm looking for was allways on an external drive. the event and media files are still there but the project all over sudden is on my system drive.

Mar 7, 2014 6:31 AM in response to steyeby Tom Wolsky,Please post some screen shots. What are you seeing in the libraries panel of FCP? Show the drive you want to updating with the Final Cut Projects folder in column view.
You can never open an FCP project. The application always opens it for you either in the 10.0.x vesion reading the Final Cut Projects folder or on 10.1.x reading the library that contains the event that contains the project.
