I have been working on this film for months so I really need to restore it but I just don't know how. This has never happened previously but now the images and audio are blacked out and the audio has a red line at its base. Has anybody had any experience of this? I'd be hugely grateful for an experts help.
Thanks
Hettie
PPost a screenshot of what you're seeing.
Hello, thank you for your response. Attached is a screenshot of my FCPX project.

CClose the application. Go into the library bundle and move the flexolibrary file to the trash. Relaunch the application. If that doesn't work, try to find recent backup that will open properly.
YOu have multiple libraries called Untitled. You should probably give them useful names. Finding the right backup when the libraries all have similar or the same names will only complicate matters.
Hello, I'm struggling to find the flexolibrary file, earthed it but nothing appears. Sorry if this sounds stupid, i'm really bad at these kind of things. Thanks so so much for helping me. I'm really very scared I will lose my work.

In the Finder locate the library called Untitled that has your project. Right-click on it and select show package contents. Move this file to the trash
Hello Tom,
I have tried this but no luck, I have since tried to open earlier versions of the project and I get this message... "the library 'Untitled' cannot be found in its original location". When FCPX opens the project shows as a missing file.

open earlier versions of the project
DOes se that mean you tried to open a backup library?
IDid ou move or rename Untitked prior to accessing the backup? If you did put it back. Open Untitled and from inside the application go to File>open from backup and see if you can access the backup from there.
My fcpx backups are contained in three separate Untitled folders which are each inside the folder entitled Movies. Is this where they re typically found? I'm guessing not given the message. I will try and upload some screenshots.

TThose are the backups did you try to open the backup from inside the application? Is that where you got the message? Please give step by step what you're doing and what happens.
DId you move or rename the original Untitled project?
I double clicked a backup from 3 days ago and it came up with the message "the library 'Untitled' cannot be found in its original location". Alongside that message was another which asked me to save it to a new location. Following this I closed the app, I have since attempted to open fcpx so I can try access a backup from inside the app like you say but it isn't responding. I really don't know what to try next as its told me the backups are in the incorrect place.

Have tried to open fcpx copious times but each time it freezes at restoring layout and the program turns grey.
Hettie
It might also be worth mentioning, I have a folder beside the movies folder entitled "Final Cut Pro Backups" but it is empty. Could this have something to do with it?
Hettie
I tried to open another backup from one of the untitled folders and this is the message that came up upon opening.
Kind regards
Hettie
FCPX project vanished from timeline, please please help!
