Final Cut Pro X saves projects unreliable

Only the latest versions of Motion and Compressor.

I did an update to Lion a couple of weeks ago. Still same problem.

Please call Apple regarding this and please report back what they advise!

Does anyone know why Apple isn't throwing in any help in this thread on how to work this problem out?

I have this issue too, and just realized that all my 3 hours of work this morning was never saved. This is sooo..... frustrating to say the least!

How many will it be necessary to repeat that Apple engineers aren't visiting these forums ?

As far as I know, quite every Apple application offer a "Send Feedback" menu item in the Application's Menu.

I'm sorry, but it wasn't mentioned in this thread, and I'm new here.

The "Send Feedback" is like sending a message in a bottle to me. I prefer feedback, as in "both directions". 🙂

Before posting for the first time in an Apple Discussions forum we are supposed to read the Terms of Use which explain, among other things, that these forums are users to users one.

They claim also that sometimes an engineer may post a message but it's very rare.

In the iWork dedicated forums, as far as I remember there never was an Apple's engineer message.

Forget about policing this forum, it's not going to happen.

There are people rightfully upset with FCPX, since Apple chooses not to communicate with it's customers..... right or wrong, people are going to post what they want... regardless of rules.

It's happened in this forum and others are well, go over to pro_audio, they give people a lot of leeway over there.....

Here comes good news! The latest update to Lion OS X version 10.7.2 resolved the AutoSave problem I had with Pages. I made some tests and all seems to work well so far...

For FCP X I don't know yet, so PLEASE can the others who also had this issue try this update to 10.7.2 and report if their problems are also fixed now?

Thanks!

Unfortunately, I am now having these same issues. The only difference is, that I am now running Lion and FCPX 10.0.1 :-(

Undo stops working, and the project file stops getting updated. From this happens, all work will be lost.

I'm only part way through reading all the post about NOT Saving. I'm using an iMac 2011 16GB Ram. When working in FCPX I've added some titles "KeyNote effect", wait for everything to render, it looks great and when I properly quit and shut down the Keynote effect changes are no longer there. I've also lost some graphics I've inserted?

Need a solution ASAP, my hours of work are being lost.

Thanks in Advance

Can you help me out here please. I'm just reading a bunch of angry post and I only want to know if there is a solution.

Still an error in 10.0.1

It seems to me that this only occurs when I am changing details in the information box or using the transform tool. I found this out after losing half a days' work. Now if I do anything like grading or resizing, I check the undo to see if its greyed out or not. A total ballache that makes it impossible to use this professionally still.

I just opened a project that I spent all day yesteday on. Seems to have lost all the changes I made, captaions, and photos stacked on top of each others backgrounds etc.

I actually left my mac on for several hourse after I had finished, to be sure it was all there.

I'm extremly disappointed. Have been using this program for awhile, and have had problems, but this is just too much.

Many of us have posted that FCPX is "Not Ready" for prime time.

I work (audio tracks) with two PBS video editors that have to produce output on a daily basis, they used FCPX on one of their Mac pros for a week before they finally gave up. On the plus side, they saw some positives but didn't think it would be stable enough for another year or more. There's too many problems, the autosave's erratic behavior is only one of many. Don't give Apple a break... complain through Feedback, you shouldn't have to pay to be a beta tester. Keep reporting the problems you are having.

For anyone wondering, no, this problem has not been resolved in 10.0.1. I'm suffering from the same issue.

Apple should put the save command back in - people losing work because the autosave function is clearly broken is unacceptable from a Pro App.

I did phone Apple, who told me to go to the library and removed the plist for FinalCut Pro X, that seems to have helped, but I'm not taking any chances, I now when I have done a bit of work,makes sure it has been rendered, close the program and open it up again. This wa I will at least not loose an enourmous amount.

I do find it very slow and I have 16GB of ram.
