Can't duplicate Final Cut Project to La Cie Rugged Triple (1 Terabyte)

Ok. So I couldn't share/save project to any blank DVDs, and so I bought a new La cie rugged.
Now trying to "duplicate" project, but when I go to select the source as the la cie, as opposed to the hard drive, the rugged does not appear as an option. Only the hard drive does.
When I insert an old rugged that has less storage, it appears as an option when I click on "duplicate".
Any suggestions? I have a mac book pro (late 2011) with updated version of Final Cut X.
Thanks

No it doesn't show up in the events or projects libraries. It does show up in the mac book finder, and I am able to drag and save documents to it.
I have final cut version 10.0.8. As I said, the older la cies work fine, it's just that they don't have enough storage capacity.
Thanks

Can't open Final Cut Project

I'm running FCP 5.1.2 on a MBP with Leopard. The project in question was created on the same system with the same version of FCP, but while running Tiger back in 2007.
All project files and media are in the same place on an external FW800 drive, but they will not open.
One project claims to be made on a newer version of Final Cut (false), this most recent one just freezes Final Cut when I try to open it.
I've tried:
• opening other versions in the Autosave vault
• resetting disk permissions on the external drive
• trashing the FCP preferences file
• duplicating and renaming the project file
None of the above worked. Other final cut projects will open, but the common thread among the projects that don't seems to be that they were created while the system was running Tiger.
This problem seems fairly common on the discussion boards, but I haven't stumbled upon a solution yet. Has anyone found a solution?

Reconnect the offline media and life should be good.
Still, the best solution is for everyone involved with the project to be using the same version of FCP/Color.

How to back up Final Cut project with external hard drive. Absolute beginner, so simple steps appreciated.

Hello - How do I back up a Final Cut pro project onto an external hard drive? It's a work in progress, not a completed project. I'm a total beginner and a step by step would really helpThanks

The auto-backup is the database only, not the media.
To back up the whole Library totally, first make sure to Consolidate it, then simply drag-and-drop it on to the backup drive, that simple.
The KB article referenced by Karsten suggests one additional step: make sure your copy of the library is not at the root level of the drive to which you are copying it. I have not clue why this might be important.
Herewith:
Back up your Project Library and events using the Finder
To create a single backup copy of your Project Library and events, you can copy the Final Cut Projects folder and Final Cut Events folder to an external storage device.
If you are backing up incrementally, create a folder structure that helps you easily navigate through your backup folders. You could label the folders with the date you made the backup copy, for example.
Important: To avoid issues, it’s essential that you place the backup files in a folder (named “2012 Final Cut Pro Backups,” for example) that is not at the root level of your external storage device.
In the Finder, locate and select your Final Cut Projects folder and Final Cut Events folder.Your Movies folder is the default location for all project and event files:/Users/username/Movies/ Important: If you moved a project or event after you created it, it will not be in the default location.
Drag the Final Cut Projects and Final Cut Events folders to the external storage device.
The folders are copied to your external storage device.

I have a project that crashed on me when I was about to finish it. When I try to reopen Final Cut Pro it wouldn't open until I took the project out of the Final Cut Project folder. Can somebody tell me if this is a problem that has a solution? I cannot

I have a project that crashed on me when I was about to finish it. When I try to reopen Final Cut Pro it wouldn't open until I took the project out of the Final Cut Project folder. Can somebody tell me if this is a problem that has a solution? I cannot go back to the project at all.

If you are using 10.0.3 or above Apple added a backups folder that for a little extra protection in cases like this. If you quite FCPX go to your Final Cut Pro Projects folder. Find the folder that has the project in question. If it has a backups folder there should be a file with a date stamp and .fcpproject extention, that is your back-up. Just move the back-up from that folder one folder up to the place where you deleted CurrentVersion.fcpproject from. When I have had to do this I haven't renamed the backup but some people to recomend that you rename it to CurrentVersion.fcpproject and it seems to work both ways. Ofcourse it wont work if there is already a CurrenVersion file there you will need to delete that one first.
If you don't have the backups folder or there is nothing in it I am not sure if there is anything that can be done.

Can I open Final Cut Pro X Archives, Events or Projects in iMovie?

I did a trial version of FInal Cut Pro X for a month and imported some events, did some archiving and a couple of projects. I don't think I'll end up buying FCP X - at least not for now as Imovie seems to cover my needs. Is there a way for me to move these archives, events and/or projects to iMovie?

If you imported your media with transcoding or copy options, then you can recover those files from the Final Cut Events > EventName > Original Media folder (as long as they are not aliases to the originals.) If you archived originals on Import you can retreive your media from the archive (looks like a film "can") by right-clicking and selecting Show Package Contents (you should see basically the same layout as is on your memory card in your camera.) Just go in and drag them out, then trash the archive. Other than that, the data saved in the Final Cut Projects folder is pretty useless for any other app.

HT201109 Why can't I open a final cut project from one computer in another computer?

I'm using Final Cut Pro Trial. Why can't I open a final cut project from one computer in another computer? When I try to open the project on my desktop it doesn't recognize the format. Please help!

I downloaded FCPX trial on my laptop as well as on my desktop. I did some editing on my laptop but I need to get the project I created on my laptop onto my desktop. When I import the project onto my desktop the videos are Red and they say "Missing File."

If you export the project from FCE you can import the QuickTime into FCP. You can do limited work to it like adding titles.

Exporting final cut project

I would appreciate assistance in exporting a final cut project to a dvd to be edited on another computer equiped with final cut by someone else.

First determine if the other person has a version of FCP that will open the project file you'll be providing. If not, you may have to export the project as an XML file.
Next you will ALL video and audio clips as well as any other media that the project contains (LiveType files, Motion files, SoundTrack Pro files, Photoshop files, etc). Unless your project is very, very small, I doubt that all the needed media would fit on one DVD (4.3gb of usable space). You may need to put everything on an external hard drive to deliver it.
I wouldn't worry about transferring any render files. The other person can re-render.

Import final cut project

Why can't I import a Final Cut project? It is on a large USB disc which I'm unable to designate as a SAN disc so I moved it manually. Now FC still can't find it though it's stored in the Movies folder just like everything else, same folder hierarchy and all that?

Have a look at the file structure of my USB disc called Stu's backup.
I'm trying to see the project
called July 19 Vicky Nova, inside the red Final Cut Projects folder which is at the root level of the USB drive. But as you see from the next photo, the Project Library inside Final Cut, the USB disc (Stu's backup) shows but not the files inside. The other disc, Backups 1.8 Tb shows, probably because it has a FireWire connection. Should it be possible to access the project folder on the USB disc?

Final Cut Event and Final Cut Project

I am in the process of trying to clean up one space. While doing this I noticed the I have a Final Cut Project and Final Cut event of the same name as you can see below in the screen shot below. Is the event part of the project. The project was created prior to my upgrade to Yosemite.
Everything was created in Final Cut Pro X

Hi. Please take a look at this Apple support doc. – particularly the two sections, "is media duplicated…" and "Can I delete…"
In short, removing the folders will remove clutter, but any additional space savings will be small.

Intel and PowerPC Final Cut project compatibility

I have two computers, a laptop and a desktop, that I use with Final Cut Studio. Both run PowerPC chips. If I purchase a new computer with the Intel chipset, will Final Cut projects be able to go back and forth between the Intel and PowerPC computers? I spend quite a bit of time editing on the road with my laptop then get back to the office and copy the project file over to my office computer. When going back on the road, I copy the project file from my office computer and put it back on my laptop so I can keep editing while traveling.
Thanks!

There is no compatibility issue between PowerPC and Intel as far as Final Cut Pro is concerned. You just have to make sure you have the same version of Final Cut on all machines, because older versions of Final Cut Pro will not open files created in newer versions. You don't have to worry about the processor.

Can I use Final Cut Studio 3 - notably FCP 7 - on the lastest MacBook Pro (non Retina) (Z0MV-27-4GB-512-HRA Apple 15" MacBook Pro/2.7GHz Quadcore Intel Core i7/8 GB) running OS 10.8?

Can I use Final Cut Studio 3 - notably FCP 7 - on the lastest MacBook Pro (non Retina) (Z0MV-27-4GB-512-HRA Apple 15" MacBook Pro/2.7GHz Quadcore Intel Core i7/8 GB) running OS 10.8? If not, is there a work-around if I have to revisit work done in FCS 3?

I have it running on the latest NON-Retina MBP. And a good friend of mine has it running on his Retina model. Works fine.

What if I have to revisit any one of them? What if I try FCP X and find I prefer FCS 3?
If you need to revisit them...that's why you install FCS3. That's really the only reason I have that on my system, to revisit old projects, and to deal with clients who still use FCP 7.
You really should look at moving on though...not sticking with FCP7. It's 4 years old...two years since it was EOL. Adobe Premiere Pro CC is a very good FCP replacement...although I don't like their "rental" method of paying a subscription to use it. Or you can buy Adobe CS6...but that just lacks enough to make it not quite tempting for me. Premiere CC is spot on...but **** if I don't hate that subscription model. But there's also Avid Media Composer. But that doesn't do a lot of things that I used FCP and Adobe for...

Can't open Final Cut X - Stop Responding with Event

Im working on a project for over a year, and suddenly I can't open Final Cut with my project and event.
It stops responding while loading my event.
I already changed the location of the biggest files (original media and renders), so I just have my event and my project files on the final cut folders.
I've tried to open this in another computer, but it still didn't work.
When I erase my event and project, there's no problem with Final Cut.
Any suggestion?
Thank you!

Why are you moving folders around?
Was FCPX acting abnormally before you moved these folders?
What do you mean by "erase my event and project"?

Problems Searching metadata in a Final Cut Project Uploaded to FCS

We had an intern go through some footage that was on our FCS and load it into a Final Cut Pro project. He then went through and cut up the footage, made it an Independent Clip in Final Cut, and then Renamed the clip. He created multiple clips in Final Cut which all link back to the big master clip which is in Final Cut Server.
I then just uploaded the Final Cut Project which then created elements for all of the independent clips that were made in Final Cut. Upon closer inspection of the Final Cut Project in FCS, I noticed that in the elements of that project, it created all of the clips that we made independent. Great....almost. Two problems arose. All of the proxy files for those elements all have the same thumbnail based on the master clip, but do have the In/Out points when looking at the proxy file. Can you get the proxy file just to encode the In/Out points and make appropriate thumbnails?
Problem 2:
With these elements, when I perform a search with the exact filename of the element in the Final Cut project, it will only show me the Final Cut project. I have to open up that Final Cut project and then look into the Elements Folder of that project. Is there a way to search elements of a Final Cut project where the elements are reference files or metadata of a master clip within Final Cut Server?
If this doesn't make sense, I'll try and re-explain.

Yes, I did, but it doesn't show the element only the project and the master clip. In order to actually find it, I have to double-click the found Final Cut Project and then look into the elements tab. I'm trying now to figure out a way to make a custom lookup in the advanced search parameters that would allow me to only search Elements of a Final Cut Pro Project.
