Q: Project File not Opening. 524MB?!
Hi!
I'm running FCP X on a Retina Display MBPro with 16GB RAM. I work out from a Firewire 800 drive dock since I haven't been able to get a thunderbolt drive yet. In this drive I have several projects (5 of them where created by Plural Eyes for Syncing). One of those projects is the actual film I'm working on around 8min long. The system started giving me problems when I started editing sound effects and putting effects on clips. The film is almost to omplition when FCP crash. I restarted it again but that one project film doesn't open. Instead FCP X stays open on the splash screen and does the pin wheel. I did all the troubleshooting prosedures plus try to fix the project file thinking it was corrupted with a third party application but nothing good has happen yet. I try to open the project on a different system but when I open FCP X it opens on the previews project that was been worked in that system. When you hit to go to the Project Library it start doing the Pin Wheel all over again. I read on the internet of a similar case where the project file was 500MB big. Mine is 524MB. The person said that they wated it off living FCP open doing it's thing and after 8 hours it open. I'm actually doing the same thing right now and I still have almost 6 hours to go. My question is why did this happen and can it be prevented and how to fix the file? Also, is the Apple FCP team dealing with fixing this bugs?
