Final Cut Library Won't Load!
My Final Cut Library, based on an external drive, won't load. It gets stuck loading certain events.
It all began earlier when my Library WOULD open, but it would take 10-15 minutes to do so. I finally realized it was because it was attempting to access thousands of PNG files on an external drive that caused the hangup. Noticing that the local machine drive handled these files much better than my external drive, I moved the folder of media to my local drive with the goal of reconnecting the media files.
Then, when I opened up my Library in Final Cut (after taking 15 minutes to do so), the event with the trouble files contained NO CLIPS within it whatsoever (in fact, the star Event Logo wasn't present next to the name of the event). The clips were still in the sequence that I had cut in, but they would not open in the media browser at all.
Now, trying the main Library again OR the local backup (from the Movies folder), the app gets stuck once it opens. I can't click anything within it.
I'm stuck, don't know what to do, am on a deadline, and would sure love some help. Thank you to any kind and knowledgeble souls out there!
