I am trying to open an old project that resides on my Mac Pro Tower that I haven't used in a few years. The library shows over 300mb of data reside within it yet I can't get anything to open nor even view the individual clips when I select "Open package contents". Does anyone have any suggestions how I can recover these files?
Mac Pro, OS X 10.11
What OS are you using? What version of FCP? What version was the library made in, any idea, or when? What exactly happens when you double click the library?
Thanks but this is all taking place on my old Mac. I have not been able to get it to open prior to transferring it to my new machine. Thanks.
Just for fun I did grant FCPX full disk access and yet the library that I imported to my new machine still shows almost all the clips as missing (red) in the project.
Select one of those that show up in the timeline, press Shift-F to Reveal in Browser, then in the browser control-click and choose Reveal in Finder. Post a screenshot of what you get there.
Please show a screenshot of the Original Media folder. You must do that.
This looks like an iMovie trailer project. Where's the original iMovie library? What did you do to get this into FCP?
I used the iMovie trailer function to build my intro, all the rest of this I shot myself. None of those files can be found.
On the old machine. post a screenshot of the Original Media folder? Where's the iMovie library? Is the media in there?
That's a backup!!!!! There's no media in a data only backup library. Where's the original library called Exploring with Audrie?
Forget the backup library, where's the real, original library? That's probably got the media.
You are still not showing the original library. All of those are backups. Like Tom said, they contain no media.
Where is the original library called "Exploring with Audrie"?
Can't open old FCPX project files
