Do your project files save when you update/reinstall Final Cut Pro X?

Final Cut has recently started to act up when it comes to sharing. It is only allowing Master Files while any other destination either freezes or stops itself after 5 minutes
I realize that a simple reinstall will probably fix it but will my current projects still be there?
Do I have to copy them on a back up folder or drive?
Same questions if it's just an update
Thanks in advance

The Libraries, Projects and Events are all kept separately from the FCP X app so you can do whatever you want with the app and your work will be untouched.
Trash FCP X properly with this free app

"Updates" are in fact complete reinstallations  .  .  .  the whole app is completely replaced  .  .  .  .  no messing about adding bits here and there as in the old days.

  • Can't Update Old Final Cut Pro Projects

    I use Final Cut Pro for work and just recently updated. I didn't realize that I needed to have all my projects in my "Final Cut Pro Projects" file while updating. I had a lot of my projects in a "Final Cut Pro Projects-Not In Use" file when I updated my Final Cut Pro and now those projects will not update. I didn't have a "Final Cut Pro Projects" file after updating so I created a new one under "Movies" in my Finder and added all the projects to that and Final Cut Pro still won't update them. What am I doing wrong?
    Also, now that I've updated the projects are exporting as .MP4s and my boss wants them as .MOVs again. Is there a way I can change them to that?

    I have been trying to add a screen shot to this reply for the past ten minutes but I keep getting "An error occurred while trying to submit your post. Please try again" So I will try to explain it to you.
    I click the arow on the bottom right hand corner. Then click "Master File..."
    My settings are:
    Format: Computer
    Video codec: H.264 Better Quality
    Resolution: 1920 x 1080
    Audio file format: QuickTime Movie (AAC)
    (don't click Include chapter markers)
    Open with: QuicTime Player (default)
    On the bottom it reads left to right:
    1920 x 1080 | 23.98 fbs   Stereo (L R) | 48 kHz  00:00:04:02   MPEG-4 movie 10.4 MB est.
    Then I click "Next..." and save it to my Desktop and click "Save"
    I hope that makes sence! Sorry the screen shots didn't work!

  • I have just updated to Final Cut Pro 10.1.4 - I have updated Projects and Events on my external hard drives (off the File menu). It's says under several project 'missing file' - but they were all there working fine before I updated.

    I have just updated to Final Cut Pro 10.1.4 - I have updated Projects and Events on my external hard drives (off the File menu). It's says under several projects 'missing file' - but they were all there working fine before I updated. I am working off 2 external drives - not sure if that would make a difference.

    After the update each seperate connected drive should now have a seperate Library.
    The older Projects and Events folders would have to be at the top level of those drives go be seen and updated.
    Were all the necessary Projects and Events in the corrrct place before updating?

  • I need the font style century gothic for a project im working on, but neither my final cut pro x nor my photoshop have this font style. Where do you get/buy new fonts?

    Not on this list.
    Maybe it gets installed with something else? For example, I have MS Ofiice on the 10.7 system but not on the others.

  • I have recently update my Final Cut Pro X to Final Cut Pro X 10.1. I downloaded the update from the app store. Now every time I open Final Cut it crashes almost instantly. What can I do

    I have recently update my Final Cut Pro X to Final Cut Pro X 10.1. I downloaded the update from the app store. Now every time I open Final Cut it crashes almost instantly. What can I do?- I really need help!

    It sounds as though you have a corrupt project - or possibly a file within an event that is causing the application to crash.
    Quit FCP X, then move your projects and events (if you have any) to new folders so that FCP X doesn't find them, then relaunch the application. If it launches OK, there's a very good chance one of your projects or events is causing the problem.
    Quit the app again, then move one event or project at a time back to the original folder and launch FCP X again - keep going until you find the cause.

  • The Apple Mac Store is re-downloading and reinstalling the update called "Final Cut Pro X Supplemental Content" literally everyday.

    My problem:  The Apple Mac Store is re-downloading and reinstalling the update called "Final Cut Pro X Supplemental Content" literally everyday.  I have a Mac Pro with Mavericks and Final Cut Pro X 10.1 installed.  It seems to complete the update to the best of my knowledge.  It shows it to be Final Cut Pro X Supplemental Content 1.0.  Is there a later version (a 2.0?)?  It seems it started when Mavericks updated.  Anyone else have this issue or know a solution to get it to update once and for all?

    hahah yeah i quit torrenting i have nothing but legit apps now.
    hope apple heard that!!!!
    your post fixed my issue
    but it did take more than deleting torrented apps, once your run a program with a MASReciept with someone elses Apple ID. that other ID is saved in all apps you got off of app store.
    You have to delete all apps that contain the MASReciept (the terminal command tells you which ones) then quit appstore then reboot download all apps again.
    it taught me to just buy my apps..

  • When sending job from Final Cut Pro to Compressor using local QCluster

    When sending job from Final Cut Pro to Compressor by way of Share and using the local QCluster, the audio renders, but the video errors out saying something along the lines of Can not locate file.
    If I use 'This Computer' it works fine.
    What gives?
    Fresh install of OS and FCS.
    Thanks!

    I'm just learning the intricacies of Compressor and Qmaster myself, but I have learned that when you use Qmaster you can not share directly from FCP. You must export a Quicktime movie (reference movie seems to be fine) and input that to Compressor. This is only an issue when using Qmaster, as you've seen.

  • HT6114 I want to re-install Aperture and make updates to Final Cut Pro on my MAC ?

    I want to re-install Aperture and to update my Final Cut Pro software, but when I go to install or update I get an error message saying I need to install the latest version of MAC OS X 10.9.  I currently have version 10.7.5 installed but when I go to do a software update it tells me that my OS X software is up to date.
    What do I need to do to fix this problem?

    Download Mavericks via the App Store.

  • I have Final cut Express 4, can I update to Final cut pro if I pay, to make the update.

    To Final Cut Pro X? You want it, you just buy it. No separate upgrade pricing.

  • I can't not transfer files in 'log and transfer' of Final Cut Pro. I recorded it in SD card using Nikon D7000 and JVC GY-HM100U.

    I can't not transfer files in 'log and transfer' of Final Cut Pro. I recorded it in SD card using Nikon D7000 and JVC GY-HM100U.
    I think I need plug-in.  Please let me know.  Thank you.

    Well, the Nikon D7000 footage cannot be logged and transferred.  There is no plugin for that like there is for the Canon cameras. Nikon never developed one.  So the footage from that camera will need to be converted with Compressor or MPEG STREAMCLIP.
    The JVC should work...what version of FCP are you on?

  • Can you open a Final Cut Pro project file (6.0.6) in Final Cut Express (v4)

    I am working on a project in Final Cut Pro (v 6.0.6) and I need to pass it off to a colleague who only has Final Cut Express (v 4). The media in the project is DVNTSC.
    I went to the Apple store at the Stonestown Mall in San Francisco today and they assured me that my colleague would be able to open my FCP project file in his FCE program... but I'm skeptical.
    Can you really open a FCP project file in FCE?
    Could somebody who has both confirm this for me?
    Thanks,
    Sam

    Under very rare circumstances can you open an FCP project in FCE. It almost never works and is not supported by Apple.

  • Moving Files that are used in a Final Cut Pro X project

    I've been working with final cut pro at my work, but I'm not the only person who has been working on the editing process. Because of this, some files, documents, images and video clips were left unorganized outside of final cut, and imported into the program from there. This was only just noticed. Is there a way that I can organize the original files, move them to different locations etc. without having to drastically change and re-add things to the main project?
    Thanks!

    Let FCP X do it...
    Read the section in the manual on "media management". Does a great job of consolidating media files.

  • When's The Next Final Cut Pro HD Update?

    I was just wondering if anyone knows when the next Final Cut Pro HD update is supposed to be released. I'm about ready to make a purchase, but I was wondering if I should wait if the next version is going to be out soon.
    Thanks!

    I don't think it's against the TOU however to point out that Apple have been known to launch new products or announce updates at the NAB show, which takes place every April.
    But I personally have no idea if there's anything in the pipeline. I only buy every second upgrade anyway so I'll be waiting for FCS7.
