Hey!
Logic Pro X won't Bounce my Projects after Mojave (10.14.5) and latest app (10.4.5) updates. The Error reads:
The file couldn’t be opened because it isn’t in the correct format.
The file might be corrupted, truncated, or in an unexpected format.
I have tried deleting and reinstalling the app. Does anyone know a fix or have a workaround?
I run Logic off of both my internal and external hard drives. I use the external HD for downloading/writing to and the internal HD for uploading (ie: running loops, samples and plugins). This helps to keep CPU usage low and avoids lagging/buffering out so everything runs smooth. Somehow I did not format my External HD correctly. I was getting the error because I was trying to bounce files off of my Macbook Pro to a Hard Drive that was formatted for Windows.
If you get this error, first try to change the location of the bounce to the desktop.
If the bounce works then check the formatting of your external drive. (right click the drive and select Get info)
If it is not formatted as Mac OS Extended (journaled), GUID Partition Map you will need to reformat your external drive.
First, copy your external hard drive (if you have space) to your internal hard drive.
Then reformat, using the DiskUtility, to Mac OS Extended (journaled), GUID Partition Map.
Then move the files back to your external drive.
After that my problem was solved.
Additionally, (this may be common knowledge, but...) the apple support person recommended not updating the app or OS until you are finished with any major projects and have bounced STEMs and WAV/mp3 reference files.

Try deleting the Logic Preference files. Deleting and re-installing the app iteslf won't touch the prefs and if the prefs are corrupt.
OS 10.14.5 seems to be causing a lot of trouble. I'd rol back to your previous OS and Logic from a backup until the bugs get sorted.
Absolutely, common sense whether professional or amateur. Haven't even bothered to download Logic 10.5, only half finished on a project I'm working on, will be another couple of weeks or longer. Apparently Apple needs to sort some issues out and apologize for using it's customers as Beta test subjects. (ha, like that's going to happen)

Ended up calling support. Looks like it was a formatting issue on my External Hard drive. I was able to bounce to my desktop so Im reformatting the HD now.
What exactly was the issue? For future generations.
