Q: Final Cut Pro 10.2.3 doesn't open a library anymore!

Hey! I could really use some help understanding this, a total mystery:

 

This morning I tried to open a Final Cut library that is saved on my harddrive. I worked with the library last night, but now it just won't open anymore.

It gives an error: Final Cut quit unexpectedly

 

It DOES open some other libraries, its just this one that won't open.

Also, I tried to open it on a different computer, but there it doesn't open either.

 

I tried Trashing FCP from Preference manager, did a First-Aid, but it seems that the problem is IN THE LIBRARY not in the program.

 

Plus, NONE of the backups open either.

 

Any ideas?;)

Thanks!!

MacBook Air, OS X El Capitan (10.11.2)

A:

So, here's an update: what helped was to move the contents of this damaged library to a new library (and move from finder, not to copy-paste or duplicate). At first it seemed like it won't work, but after a while the content started arriving to the new library!!:P

What also might help: at first when I opened the NEW library (with the old contents that were moved in there) then it did not show any traces of the new content. But then I opened a LATEST BACKUP of the OLD LIBRARY and this did the job(maybe also because it had had some time to think by then)

 

Goodluck!

    Try opening the most recent backup library.

     

    By default, they are stored in Final Cut Backups in the Movies folder.
