Closed FCP X 10.1.4 and PROJECT GONE!

I spent all day working on a project and closed out Final Cut. However, when I opened the event where project is, it only shows event clip. When I use option to see all clips in that event, it's showing my project as "NO DATA." There was almost 12 minutes of completed footage, including voiceovers. I can see voiceover clips, background music clips and videos, but no edited project. The title of the project is called "Kingston Edition." Here it's showing you "NO DATA." Note the yellow triangle with the exclamation mark next to the event. No bueno....
When I use the finder to search for the project in the FINAL CUT BACKUPS folder, I see the events folder being used with my project "Jamaica August 2014". I'm assuming this folder (Jamaica August 2014 is the event folder) is where the latest backup is as it's the folder with the oldest time stamp.
However, when I open that folder this is what I see. ORIGINAL MEDIA folder, contents are empty. The ANALYSIS FILES folder has an empty folder marked STABILIZATION as I did apply that function to the clip. The KINGSTON EDITION has a CurrentVersion.fcpevent within.
Should I take my iMAC to the APPLE store to get assistance or can someone help me? My deadline is looming and is next week. I simply cannot redo EVERYTING! Can someone offer me assistance? I'm working on an iMAC with all clips being saved to my iMAC. Thanks a bunch!

Anytime I start a new project, I go to the toolbar at the very top and do NEW-> Project. This was no different. It produced the empty space in the timeline for me to begin editing the project. I was relieved to almost be done with it. Then this happened. This is what I see on LIST VIEW. Mind you, the only clips that are visible on date I was working on the project, December 9th, are the voiceover clips, background music and still shots. There is nothing in list view showing for 12 minutes. KINGSTON EDITION is showing with 0 duration. My project has gone to Project heaven... lawddd..... As the Tom Wolsky noted, the project doesn't even have a date, yet I can see the folders when I use Finder and "Show Contents"....

IDVD crashed folder with movie and project gone/invisible

I just created a movie with iMovie 6 and had it saved on an external Firewire drive, then I exported to iDVD 8, again saving the project to the externa drive and same folder, then as I was adding media to the menus iDVD suddenly quit. I navigated to the external drive in the finder, and the folder is gone!
When trying to open/save a project from iMovie or iDVD, the folder name shows up with a blank rectangle icon, but there's no directory.
Any ideas on how I can restore the folder?

Disk Utility and Repair Disk restored the folder and all it's content - from now on, I'll put my iDVD projects in a separate folder!

FCP 10.1.1 messed up my Events and Projects...

I just updated FCP all the way from 10.0.7 to 10.1.1, but I ran into some major issue that's messing with my workflow. When I launched the new FCP 10.1.1, it asked me if I want to upgrade my Events and Projects folders into a single Library, I clicked Upgrade and it got that done. Then I was asked whether I want to preserve the old Events and Projects, fortunately, I chose to preserve it, and it moved the two folders into a new one now called 'Old Macintosh HD (something etc.). Later when I was trying to use the new version of FCP, something went horribly wrong, and it crashed. I tried relaunching FCP again, this time however, instead of loading the new Library it just created in my Movies folder, it created a new Library in the same folder named Untitled.
So I tried dragging and dropping the older library that contained all my Events and Projects onto the FCP icon on they dock, and it immediately crashed. I then try deleting the 'Untitled' library in my Movies folder to see if FCP would recognise that older Library it created before. No luck it just created another Untitlted library and ignored my old library, tried dragging and dropping the old library, crashed again.
Fortunately I chose to preserve the old folder, and even if I didn't I still have Time Machine to restore them. So now I'm going to try to re-import all my Events from the 'Original Media' folder inside of each individual Event, and redo all the copying and transcoding, etc. That is not a big deal, the big problem is, however, the Projects. I can't figure out how to put my Projects back in place now that the Library is closed off an inaccessible (to the best of my current knowledge). And even if I can get those Projects inside the Library, I still have to relink it back to the media which I am now importing in as new events and thus making it very difficult for FCP to see that they are actually suppose to be connected.
It would be IMMENSELY helpful if anyone can help me with this I still have a pretty big project to finish and I need to finish it preferably in the next week or so since I won't have access to my iMac and editing on my 5+ year old MBP wouldn't be feasible as it doesn't have enough extra storage to hold my 40+GB of clips.

First, take a look at these free videos about the FCP X new library model.
From your description - moving folders around and renaming them - it's not clear what your situation is currently.
I think it would be useful if you would post a screen shot of your Finder window that includes the first library that FCP created when you updated.
You can navigate to that library in the application by choosing File>Open Library>Other>Locate. When you do what happens?

I have a FCP event and project with all accompanying media saved on a harddrive. I am now attempting to open the files on another computer that also has FCP X. I cannot figure out how to get it to open.

The events and projects folders have to be on the top level of the drive for FCP to recognize them.

How do one add FCP Events and Projects created in previous versions

Just upgraded to OS X Yosemite and FCP X 10.1.4. The files that I saved under a seperate folder (which I named as Unused Events/Projects) did not convert. How do I get those Event and Projects in new Macintosh HD's projects and events?

TThe fiolders have to be in specific locations to be recognized by FCP. They have to be in Final Cut Events and Final Cut Projects either at the root level of a secondary drive or in the Movies folder.

I moved my FCP events and projects folder onto my external hard drive and now everything is gone on FCP. When I tried to reload those folders onto FCP nothing happened. I still get the missing files image.

"When I tried to reload those folders onto FCP nothing happened"
Brownale6 how can u reload folder in to FCP.
As you said folders are moved to external disk but have you checked it should be like this
For Event
external disk>Final Cut Events>your event folder.
For project
external disk>Final Cut Projects>your project folder.

I updated to FCP X 1.6, now my projects and events will not read

I chose the option update projects and events upon launching 1.6. Now my hard drive is being read as a camera, and I can't load my old events and projects. Strangely when I first open FCP, it appears to read the projects and events, and opens showing the drive and events, but then they simply disappear. Any ideas how to load the events and projects?
P.S. I tried going back to 1.5, but now that I chose the update events it will not read.

You have a folder at the root of your hard drive that is confusing FCP X.
Common names are "Private", "DCIM", "Video", and others.
Rename or put the offending folder inside another folder (i.e. not at the root of the hard drive).

New administrators name not accessing FCP X Events and Projects

After signing in under a new administrators name, FCP X started working. The trouble now is I can't access my projects and events that are under the first administrators name. Please help.

I'm guessing the Projects and Events are in your Movies Folder on your System Drive?
You should move them to an External Hard Drive (running Events and Projects on the System drive overloads the Mac's system, so they should be on a different drive anyway). You will need to log in to the old account to move them.
If they're already on an external HD select the drive and press Cmd+i to see who has permission - if your new account isn't listed, check the 'ignore ownership on this volume' box.
If you can't move them from the system drive at the moment, click the padlock and give your password, then click the plus button to add your account.

I open FCPX, see Events and Projects, then they disappear

Here's what's going on:
1. Was using macbook to edit, via an external drive (with events and projects folders on root level)
2. Tried using Imac to edit, so I closed everything out, Unmounted drive and mounted it on iMac before opening Final Cut.
3. Opened FXP X and found that one of the elements was simply not in any of the projects that used it. It is possible, I suppose, that During the creation of these elements I was using a clip stored not in the elements folder, so it was lost track of, but there's no red frames saying I've got detached Video.
4. Tried opening the backup I'd made of events and project folders on my second external drive (events and projects folders also on root level.
5. At first when FCP X opens, I see the projects and events that I want to see, including the missing event appearing in the project list thumbnail sorta timelines in the project browser, but within seconds, projects and events diappear, leaving FCP looking like there are no projects or events. Clean Slate.
6. I notice that the events and projects browsers at first show events and projects as being contained in the external drive. When all disappears, it seems to be because the external drive is no longer recognized or superseded by the Macintosh HD, which becomes the only HD shown in either browswer.
Not sure if the 1st issue (disappearing element) and the 2nd (disappearing events and projects before my eyes) are related.
But at a loss.
Thoughts?

Projects and events can disappear if they are exact copies, clones of other projects and events on other drives.

Hello, starting with today I have a strange problem: all events are correctly shown in the finder but in FCP-X there`s`none and every time I open it creates a new event. What is wrong?

Hello, starting with today I have a strange problem with Final Cut Pro X: all events are correctly shown in the finder but in FCP-X there`s`none and every time I open it creates a new event. What is wrong?

Here`s the screenshot.
But anyway:
The drive is Makintosh HD from my Macbook and it is shown in the event mediathek and in the projects. Since I`ve recognized this problem I installed FCPX again and consequently the event and project directory created by FCPX is where it should be and it shows all the test events including it`s files.
So what happens? Opening FCPX you see only one event and that a new empty event. All previous events are not shown there even if you can see them in the finder. So if you import again the clips they are in this new event library. After closing correctly FCPX and reopening there again is nothing than an new and empty event. What it does is that it recognized that i.e. there are events with previous numbers and so it creates an new one with the next available counting number.
If you want to open one event from the finder it by clicking to the file it opens FCPX but it says it cannot open the clicked file.

How Can I Hide unneeded Event Files and Projects?

Hi,
Each time I open FCP X I see the last project I was working on, as well as thumbnails from all of my events. Sometimes I see missmatched project files in the windows.
There are projects/Events that I do not want to have visible or accessible at all times.
Is there a way to Open One Event and only see the project clips from that event without the possibility of getting into other projects unless I specifically ask for them?
I like to keep my projects separate and am having a very difficult time staying focused when clips from other Events keep opening up.
In FCP 7 it was easy to close a prject and not have to have its clip files migrate into other work when unwanted.
thanks in advance.

Just to add a comment to Tom Wolsky's Event Manager recommendation: one advantage EMX offers over manual reorganization is that it provides you with a way to step outside of FCP and see an overview of all the folders that are related to FCP. That includes mounted and unmounted HDDs, Projects and Events that are "not in use" (hidden) and those that are displayed within FCP. To someone who is organizationally-challenged (me) that alone was worth the price.

Inventory Report for actuals and projected?

Hi,
currently i am doing APO-BI Project. I have a requirement to extract the Opening stock from ECC and Projected(Forecasted) Opening stock from APO.
both are 2 different key figures 1 is from ECC and another one is from APO. I need to display in Bex report in
say for example, if we have 53 weeks in a year. if i run the report in week 25, in the bex report it has to display the Opening stock values from ECC up to week 25 and remaining weeks till 53 weeks it has to display Projected Opening stock values in the same line.
plz provide me the logic to achieve this report.
regards
venuscm

Hi,
Create Two Cubes one is for APO and another is 0IC_C03 for Inventory. then build a MP on both and create reports.
Use 2LIS_03_BX, 2LIS_03_BF, 2LIS_03_UM to 0IC_C03 Cube and design the report.
Use :See the steps how to load the data to 0IC_C03.
Treatment of historical full loads with Inventory cube
Setting up material movement/inventory with limit locking time
If it is BI 7 then for BX in in DTP in Extraction Tab you need to select Extacrion mode = NON-Cumulative option.
0VALSTCKVAL      " For Value
0VALSTCKQTY      " For Qty
0CALMONTH        " For Month
Use the above combinations in New Selections in columns and go it.
For Qty Opening:
New Selection, drag and drop following InfoObjects
0VALSTCKQTY     " For Qty
0CALMONTH       " For Month and restrict with less then or equalto option variable (single value, user input) and set the offeset
                " value = -1 bcoz if user will give 12.2009 , so it will display 11.2009 closing stock, this is opening for 12.2009.
For Qty Closing:
New Selection, drag and drop following InfoObjects
0VALSTCKQTY    " For Qty
0CALMONTH      " For Month and restrict with less then or equalto option variable (single value, user input) .
In the same way build for Value and other Keyfigures on 0IC_C03.
And
Drag & drop

How can I move my Events and projects to an exterior disc?

When working in FCPX, I have been getting an alert that my (laptop) startup disc is nearly full, and I should delete files to make more space.
How can I move my final cut events and projects to my external drive?
I have already copied the folders Final Cut Pro Events and Final Cut Projects to a LaCie 2T drive, but I hesitate before emptying the trash on my laptop, afraid that FCPX will not be able to see my projects/media.
I am running FCPX 10.0.5 on a MacBook ProRetina with version 10.7.5 OS
Thanks for any help you can give me.

In that version, as I recall, you can simply move the projects and events from one mounted drive to another working from within the FCP UI. Since you've already copied the files, see whether they open. You may need to use the Organize (or Consolidate – can't remember) command if your files are not all within the moved event.

Moving Events and Projects from one location to another on the same hard drive.

Hello.
I've searched in the FCP X User Manual, on this forum and in Google, but have found no explanation of how to do this, so I'm posting this here in hopes that someone in our community will be able to help.
I've previously stored my FCP X Events and Projects folders on an external 3TB hard drive, because there is more room on it than on the internal 1TB hard drive, but, since then, I've worked with other media apps, for video, photography and audio, the files for which are also stored on the external hard drive, and this has created a bit of clutter with no folder structure to keep it tidy.
I like an organised file structure on my system, to keep it uncluttered, easy to navigate and efficient to use, so I put all the files for my photography, video and audio apps into their own folders, which are, in turn, stored in their appropriate folders for Audio, Photography and Video, and those three folders are stored in a folder called Media, and then I directed each app to its own files.
The only app with which this has been a problem is FCP X. While there is a way of relocating projects and events from within FCP X, it allows the user to move them from one hard drive to another, and not, as I want, from one place to another on the same hard drive.
I'm not sure if it matters, but perhaps it's relevant to mention before the next paragraph that the files that had previously been imported as events are, to save hard-drive space, stored in the events folder as shortcuts to the original files, which are stored elsewhere on the drive, rather than as duplicates of those files.
In Finder, I copied the Events and Projects folders to their intended new locations and tried in the app to link the events and projects to their new Finder location. It seemed to have worked, until I moved the original folders to the Trash. On re-opening FCP X, it was clear that the linking hadn't worked. I returned the original folders from the Trash to their original location, but that didn't entirely reverse the problem. I noticed also that, in the original and duplicated Events folders, the shortcuts had lost their links to the original files stored elswehere on the drive.
Fortunately I had run a backup before starting, so I restored the original folders and the app from the backup, and all was back to normal.
I'd be grateful if anyone could advise me on whether or not it's possible to move FCP X events and projects from one place to another on the same hard drive with the app's compliance.
Thank you.
