File Error: Access Denied After Installing FCP X on FCP 7 Drive

Hi, after foolishing installing FCPX on the same har drive as FCP7 (I know against all sane advice and recommendations) I now get File error: Access Denied when trying to save work under FCP 7.


Does anyone have any advice re resolving this issue.


Would be much appreciated, I'm loathe to do a full reinstall if I can possibly avoid it


Thanks in adcance

Have you run software update and repaired premissions?


Was FCPX installed before or after FCP7?


FCP7 and the other FCS3 apps should be located in a folder in Applications if you're going to have them coexist with FCPX. If you had FCS installed prior to downloading FCPX, that relocation is done automatically. But you could also do it manually.


If you haven't sen it, here is Apple's bestinstallation practices.
