Can't open FCP 10.0.3 files on laptop with Mavericks 10.9.2

Hi, has anyone come across the following problem? I have been working on an event in a film class using 10.0.3. That computer runs on Lion Os I think. I have copied those files onto my Macbook Air, which I recently updated to Mavericks 10.9.2. I then tried to open copied files on that laptop using FCP 10.0.3 and I am told "file cannot be opened". Why? Is this because of my OS? If I were to upgrade to a more recent version of FCP will that solve the problem? Although I then can't continue to work on those files in class for obvious reasons.

You don't open projects in FCP X.
Depending on your versions:
-for 10.0.x, the projects and events need to be in the appropriate folders, and FCP X will see them.
-for 10.1.x, things are very different; you use Libraries, which can be opened and closed, copied or moved as needed. Libraries contain events, and projects, as well as clips, always exist inside events.
There are very good reasons to update to 10.1.1, especially two: it is WAY better, and old versions do not work well in Mavericks.
BUT you need to understand the new library model - and, from your post, I gather, even the old model too.
Before you do anything, you may be well served to follow some online tutorials.
About upgrading, the free videos from Ripple Training are excellent: http://www.rippletraining.com/fcpx-features.html
About FCP X in general, a great tutorial (using 10.1) is from Izzy Video: http://www.izzyvideo.com/final-cut-pro-x-tutorial/

  • UNABLE TO OPEN FCP 6.02 PROJECT FILES AFTER INSTALLING LEOPARD!

    **Unable to open FCP 6.02 project files after installing Leopard**. Tested and found that the files can be opened on another computer with OS 10.4.10, but not OS 10.5. Spoke to apple support many times, and have tried reinstalling FCP, but it didn't work.
    Apple is now saying to erase my HD and reinstall from scratch. This presents a problem since i have software installed but no disc due to a move, (they are deep in offsite storage).
    Anyone have this problem? Anyone know a fix?

    Lynne,
    There is a section in the manual on the migration tool... I don't have my machine fired up right now so can't direct you to the exact page. I think a search for migration or migrate should do it.
    Two other things to try:
    1. There have been numerous reports that Quicktime 7.3 is what is killing older projects. According to one of the third party program makers Apple re-wrote Quicktime changing the null value to Zero from minus-one. I'm not a code junkie so can't vouch for this but the upshot would be, go back to Quicktime 7.1 or 7.2 not 7.3
    2. There is a Quicktime plugin called "Perian". For lots of people it has caused numerous problems.
    Look for Perian on your machine and if you find it, drag the app to the trash... re boot and try again.
    Of course the ultimate solution would be to reinstall Tiger, Final Cut Studio 2 and Quicktime 7.2. So far the most stable combined setup for me and lots of others on G5 machines.

    Reinstall 10.6 again, but this time hold c boot off the 10.6 and erase the ENTIRE internal drive.
    You do this by selecting the drive makers name and size on the left hand side, not the slightly indented partition underneath it.
    If you erase and install 10.6 only into a parittion, say Macintosh HD, the you still have the hidden Lion Recovery Partition on the drive and it appears you already have 10.7
    In the MAS, hold option and click Purchases to redownload Lion
    FYI, you don't need to install 10.6 to reinstall 10.7, 10.7 can be reinstalled via the Lion Recovery, Command r boot.

    In what file type and compression format did you download the YouTube content? I.e., to avoid such issues, you would normally download the source files as content that is natively compatible with your target player or convert incompatible file type/compression format combinations to files that are compatible with your targeted media player.

  • I can't open a 32-bit HDR file made with Photoshop HDR in Lightroom.

    I can't open a 32-bit HDR file made with Photoshop HDR. I saved the file in Photoshop with the maximum compatibility-option on. In Lightroom the file doesn't show a preview and an exclamation mark in the upper right corner. Anybody an idea why and how to solve this problem?

    As I said, the files must be saved in TIFF format in order for LR to recognize them.

  • Logic Pro 9.0.0 can't open GarageBand 6.0.4 files

    As the title reads "Logic Pro 9.0.0 can't open GarageBand 6.0.4 files" - any ideas? Logic just says files were created by a newer Logic pro version, they were created with GrarageBand not logic so I don't know.

    If you upgraded Logic to the latest version (9.1.4) you might be able to open them, in fact I think you can. Garageband is a subset of Logic, so the message you're seeing in Logic is correct.
