Trouble copying an event to a new library

I'm attempting to copy an event (rather large) to a new library.


User uploaded file

So, far so good, then I get this message:


User uploaded file

The transfer does NOT take place. And, I can't find the "Backups" file. (Which seems to be distinct from a Fcp backup.

iMac (27-inch Mid 2011), OS X Yosemite (10.10.3), 32GB RAM 3.4Ghz i7 FCPX 10.2.1

I just did as you suggested:

  • I created a test event in the same library (the one I wish to transfer.) I imported a clip.
  • I created a test project...
  • then, I was SUCCESSFULLY able to transfer this test event to the new library without the "Backups" dialogue message


So... I dunno.


In the meantime, I've executed a circuitous work-around. (Client waiting.)


Thanks, Russ, for trying to help! I'd like to keep this thread "unsolved" to see if it attracts similar queries, and, thus, perhaps, a solution.
