How to find Final Cut Pro Project by name

I can't find my FCP project from the last week. Even when I open a library from the backup, there is nothing. But when I try to make a new project with the same name, it says that I already have a project with the same name. So how can I find it?


There is nothing in any library and back up I open :( I can't understand why.

Windows, Windows 10

Do please do what Ben asked - clear the search field and show the Projects smart collection - but I fear that something is very wrong with that library.


The fact that it says "Import Media" is inconsistent with the library having content. If nothing is found according to the search criteria, it should say "no items match the current filter setting" or something to that effect; only in an empty library or event should "Import Media" appear like that.

The event was removed from the library, which removed the clips and the projects. The cache is also in the library, which is probably the 12 GB of space. Delete the generated files for the library and you will probably recover the space. I’m surprised the application has opened the library without producing an error message, unless something was done inside the library bundle while it was open, like moving it or copying it from incorrectly formatted drives.
