FCPX library empty on opening

Hi, I recently worked on a project yesterday, and today when I open it it appears completely empty, without files or projects, only what is seen in the image.


Note: I have already moved the original library and it does not work either, HDD connected correctly.





And when importing or creating a new file, it displays the following legend:


MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 14.5

The media location for the library is said to be "Media" - I suppose this is the name of an external drive, right?

Is the drive connected? How is the drive formatted? It should be MacOS Extended for hard drives, or APFS if it is an SSD. Many drives come formatted as ExFAT, and that is not good for FCP use.


Also: make sure that FCP has "Full Disk Access" in System Settings->Privacy & Security
