Error Symbol on Final Cut Event

Hi,
I have been working on my FCP project and then realized there's a error symbol sitting on my FC event.
See the attached image.
I was scared so I browsed clips in that event folder and see if there're any broken links. I didn't see anything wrong.
I played my project that's using this event. It works fine too.
Don't know if anyone know how to figure out where problems are exactly.
I worked on my video on an external hard drive. I do backup my files to another external hard drive as well.
I check the event from the other external hard drive and it has no such error symbol.
I am thinking to copy that event over to the drive where I'm actually working. See if this will solve the problems.
As I do backup, I haven't done restoring the files over for FCP projects.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Tom, Thanks for your feedback.
this thing annoy me the whole day.
i dont know what's missing.
i just copied the files over from my another external backup drive to that event folder.
i thought this would solve the problems. when i opened FCP again, the error symbol is still there.
do you have any ideas?
event is just a folder to store clips. if clips not in use are missing, this shouldn't have any error symbols.
if they are used by the project, the error symbol should appear in the project folder.

All final cut events, projects disappeared from external hard drive

I had a re-start this morning and the event I was working on lost its purple box and its white star. Can't find the project, can't find the event.
Even more troubling, the Final Cut Events and Library folders on my external hard drive is also gone. Really need some help here. Any ideas?

It almost looks like all of the original media is gone.

No audio for some files in the Final Cut Event/Original Media folder

Hi, recently, I noticed that some of the video files stored into the Final Cut Event/"Event"/Original Media folder had no audio. They do have audio when I read them into FCP X but not when I open them as ordinary files in the Finder. It worries me as it makes these files unusable in any other application, unless I "share" them from FCP X. It's no big deal but it's more work and on the principle, it's criminal: why FCP X would strip the audio off an original? Video and photo applications now work on the non-destructive principle!
I usually shoot videos with a DSLR (Canon 550D/T2i) and a GoPro 3. It seems that the files impacted are the ones shot with the Canon and optimized for FCP X. The GoPro files are fine, optimized or not.
Is there any solution to this problem or will I have to export the files from FCP X?

Thank you very much for the info.
I removed the Media Cache and Media Cache File folders. Didn't seem to make any difference. Also, there's no audio if I try to play it in Organizer.
I have a question regaring "import". What exactly does that mean?
Since all my MTS files are on hard drive already, what I did was:
1) Open a new project in PE9.
2) In the "Organize" tab, click "Get Media"
3) Choose "Get Videos/Photos/Audio from: Files and Folders".
4) In the pop-up window, navigate to my folder and choose the existing MTS file.
Was that called "import"?
Thank you again!

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.

"Final Cut Events/Projects" folders missing

So I upgraded to Mavericks over the weekend and things were going great for a while. I wasn't experiencing any of the known issues that other people were experiencing after the upgrade.
But then I clicked the Movies tab in finder and realized that my "Final Cut Events" and "Final Cut Projects" are missing! The backups folder is still intact, as well as my libraries, but those folder are missing. I've searched thoroughly around my MacBook and cannot locate them.
So I guess I'm wondering: is there away to recreate these folders? I can still access events and projects from within Final Cut Pro but the only way to get to the events or projects is by right-clicking on a library in the Movies tab and selecting the "Show Package Contents" option.
This is my first post on the forum because I am literally puzzled and have spent many hours searching for a solution to no avail. Any and all help would be greatly, greatly appreciated. Thanks guys.

Mark, thanks for lending a helping hand. Truthfully, I don't rememeber that option when I upgraded. There was nothing too important in the folders, as I store the larger projects on my Time Capsule and try to delete old events as I complete the projects. However, when I now import footage, the events are only created in the designated FC library. Those folders don't exist on my computer anymore and they are not in the trash. Is there a way to recreate the folders or did I completely ruin FC? Thanks again for your help, it means a lot.

FCP X does not recognize Final Cut Events folder

FCP X will always recognize both internal drives in my MacPro, named Macintosh HD and Macintosh HD2. About one third of the time it will see that both are present, but for Macintosh HD2 it will say there are no Events or Projects or anything else there for FCP X to read. After rebooting anywhere between 1 and 5 times it will recognize the Final Cut Events folder that is actually there and let me get on with my work. I have never changed anything about the folder manually or outside of FCP X, and it's not like it never recognizes the folder. It is only about a third of the time that it will not recognize it.
So I have a couple questions:
Is there any way to point FCP X to the events folder on a specific drive that it thinks is not there so I don't have to keep quitting FCP X and rebooting?
Is this a bug that others have had and Apple will address or is it something about my hard drive?
It only happens to one drive, the other internal drive is fine, and all external drives and drobos have been perfect. Could it be that the drive in question is only 5400 rpm?

If Final Cut Events and Final Cut Projects folders are on your internal drive, make sure they are in the Movies folder. This is where they are installed by default when on the system drive it seems. If on an external or non-system drive put them at the top level of the drive.
Then (IMPORTANT), if you have them on more than one drives at the same time, Final Cut Pro X can get confused IF you have the same event names and project names in these two folders on both drives. It's probably best to put them only on one drive to troubleshoot your problems. Then, once that is resolved, you could have the Final Cut Events and Final Cut Projects folders at the top level of two drives but with differning events and projects within them. It should have nothing to do with a drive being a 5400 rpm. The timeouts for reading drives for an application are much slower than the rotational speed of the drive. IMHO. Best wishes.

Why does final cut x copy events even when the copy files to final cuts events folder is unchecked

When I import iMovie (v 9.04) events into Final Cut Pro X (v 10.0.2) it always copies (duplicates) the events even though the "copy files to Final Cut Events folder" import preference is unchecked. I do not want to duplicate 1 TB of data for no reason. Is this a bug or is the feature badly mislabeled? Can I impot iMovie events without duplicating them?

You shouldn't expect the FCP events folder to be twice the iMovie events folder. While the .dv files (or whatever the media are) are duplicated, the iMovie Movie Cache and iMovie Thumbnails folders are not. Instead, FCP creates a Render Files folder and a CurrentVersion.fcpevent file.
To compare one event, iMovie had a Thumbnails folder of 681.3 MB and a cache folder of 587 KB. In contrast, FCP created a Render Files folder of 45 MB and an CurrentVersion.fcpevent file of 2.1 MB. So, the FCP foder is 634 MB smaller than the iMovie folder for the one event. But don't take my word for it, just compare pairs of events yourself. You will see the media in the Original Media folder and it will be exactly the same as the media in the iMovie folder. Since you have the media, there is no reason to worry about deleting the iMovie folder.
Now I have no way of knowing if this is true, but is it possible that FCP duplicated events until it ran out of disk space? While the FCP events folders are a bit smaller than the iMovie events folders, it may not be enough to have made everything fit. And keep in mind that it takes a while for the Render Files folders to be generated. After I imported 50 events (about an hour of video each), it took a few hours for FCP to finish generating the Render Files folders. I watched the entire Final Cut Events folder grow by several GB while that was going on.
In short, just compare pairs of events to reassure yourself that the media are in both places.

Final cut events has the date 24 jan 1984

On one of my external Drobo drives that i back up events and projects, my final cut events, projects folder has the date 24 jan 1984 and its greyed out - i seen to be able to copy to it but cant seems to open it…any ideas? FCPX 10.0.9

This has been reported several times in iPhoto '11 version 9.1.2 - it appears to be a bug - the only reported workaround that has been posted is to correct the dates on the photos and create a new event with them - try flagging all of the photos in the bad event after the dates are correct and then create a new event from the flagged photos
You can search the forums to see the other discussions
I would expect a correction in a future upgrade
do report to Apple - iPhoto menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback

Error when downloading Final Cut Pro 10.1.3

My specs
When I first got his MacBook about a month ago, I was still using Mavericks. I bought Final Cut Pro and it downloaded just fine. I upgraded to Yosemite shortly after it became available.
I found soon after that supplemental updates for FCP were hard to install properly (I would press the Install button, it would say Installing then go back as if nothing had happened). After consulting a few articles, I decided the best to do was to delete FCP and re-install it.
I consulted this article, which explains how to thoroughly uninstall FCP on Mavericks Final Cut Pro X 10.1: How to remove and reinstall Final Cut Pro X - Apple Support and followed its directions. Then I restarted my computer.
When I try to download and reinstall FCP from the Purchases section of the App Store, I watch the download bar reach 2.28 GB (full download) then receive an error message.
This is what I'm left with:
I've done this a few times. I'm not sure what the problem is. Any suggestions?

This is what's in my Applications folder:
I've seen this several times also. I'm stumped.

Slow Disk error when using Finale Cut

I get a slow disk error when trying to play something in finale cut but when i try to verify disk and repair disk i get Error: Could not unmount disk. What is going on and how do i fix it?

You have to boot from a DVD or external OS to fix the Disk. You can't unmount a disk that is currently hosting your operating system.

Getting error message in Final Cut Pro X for frame 13142 when sharing

I am sharing a project to Master File and I get an error message: error occured when creating frame 13142. How can I find that frame?

I had frame generation error last nigtht trying to make master file on a short 5 mintue simple video I built.
It said error was on frame 6797.
I seach for soluitons and nothing seem to help.
I tried copying project contents to new project and that still failed with frame error 6797.
I then reviewed that frame and it was the one time in project I used any special affects for movement of image, Ken Burns and Key frame transform affects on a freeze frame image.
I createa new third project copied contents in and remove the freeze frame image. added freeze frame image back into project and only did Ken Burnes affect without key frame movement.
i was then able to complete geneeation and share project.
So if you get a frame generation error check that frame and see what special affects your using. There maybe a bug in FInal Cut Pro X when you mix and match affects on one object in a project.
hope this helps someone... I was stuck for several hours on this last night.

Error when encoding final cut pro x project, will compressor help?

Having a problem trying to export a FCP X project. As it is exporting about half way through it will come up with this error message:
The Share operation export file has failed. Quicktime error -50
I noticed in the project library that there is an error icon next to this project and not sure why.
I made a duplicate project and cut it in half to see if that would work and getting the same error message.
How can I trouble shoot this and if I purchased Compressor would that help me export this project?
I am on a tight deadline and this has never happened before, any ideas?

OK, you are talking to a newbie with FCP X...came from iMovie and did a number of projects with FCP X already but don't know the ins and outs of this program. If you could talk me through the steps and where to find Repair Permissions (is that using the disk utility and repairing permissions there?), Would I trash all the Render files here including the folders, will they rebuild?, Where do you turn off the background rendering?
I should mention that I took an older project and exported it to see if it would work and it did, without a problem. I am now making copies of this project and removing sections to see if I can isolate the corrupt files, if there are any.
FLASH....I just found the corrupt files. The last section I removed seemed to be the issue. I tried to render it again and it worked fine.
Now I will have to go back and see if I can narrow that section down to find the file that is causing the issue. WOW what a mess. Is there any program that can identify these issues that doesn't cost as much as FCP?
