FCP does not create new Snapshot, but overwrites the last one

Solved: I could get the snapshot feature to work again!

How?

I opened a different library with a different film I'm working on.

I could create a snapshot as usual.

Then I went back to this project where the snapshot didn't work.

And it worked again and I can make snapshots, and it no longer overwrites the last snapshot.

Explanation:

The library where the problem occurred consisted of two events

• Edit before exporting to DVR

• the re-imported color grade after color correction in DVR (which had to be downconverted into the main storyline)

When I returned to the problem library/project (after opening the other project in a different library), it was no longer where I had left it open - at the event containing the DVR grade.

It had "snapped back" to the first event, the pre-DVR color grade.

I re-opened the event with the post-DVR color grade and the snapshot feature worked again.

It's as if something had been stuck through downconverting the storyline... that's my only guess. And by opening up another library, and by opening up another event (even though without my doing) that has become "unstuck"

Any way, big relief that I can continue working over the weekend.

I have the timeline selected.

I go to edit - Duplicate Project as a snapshot.

Usually, the last state duplicates. I get the same state twice, and the selected one will change as I edit along, and the other stays the same.

Now there is no copying of states. Only the latest state gets the golden frame animates so I see how it overwrites it.

But the "duplicate" part is missing.
