FCP will not open due to a movie file

Hey Everyone,
FCP stopped opening. When I try to open the application it loads for a moment, then a box appears with the words
'The movie file "Outside Workouts.mov" cannot be found. Without this file, the movie cannot play properly'.
I searched for the file and could not find it. It's possible that I may have accidently trashed the file. However, I still do not understand why this file is preventing FCP from opening-up. At the same time, this file is preventing me from opening other FCP projects that have nothing to do with it. Any advice on how to fix this problem and open FCP would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Isaiah

It's likely that FCP is set to "Open last project on launch". You need to clear that from the FCP preferences file.
Deleting FCP Preferences:
Open a Finder window. Set the view mode to columns:
Click the house icon that has your name next to it.
Click the folder "Library" in the next column.
Find and click the folder "Preferences" in the next column.
Find and click the folder "Final Cut Pro User Data" in the next column.
Move the files "Final Cut Pro 6.0 Prefs", "Final Cut Pro Obj Cache" and "Final Cut Pro Prof Cache" to the Trash and empty it.
When you have a stable set of preference files, download [Preference Manager|http://www.digitalrebellion.com/pref_man.htm] to back them up.

  • A Pages file will not open due to index.xml not found, what is up with that?

    I recently saved a file on Pages 5.5.2. on my IMac hard drive.  Now I find that on attempting to open it the file will not open due to index.xml not found.  Hoe do I correct this?

    I have this issue, as well - although perhaps in a different content.  When I try to open a file I created in the previous version of Pages, I will frequently (but not always), received the "index.xml not found" message.  I am very concerned that I may lose access to some of these files.  The old Pages icon is still on my dashboard, although I've downloaded the new Pages (that icon only appears when I open a new document).  I thought I needed to upgrade the old documents to the new Pages, but this didn't work.  Does anyone have any ideas?  And, I'm not a techie - so you'll need to break it down for me. 

  • PSE Will not open and .psd or .jpeg files

    Please help, I have been using PSE 11 with success to edit hundreds of pics.  However now all of a sudden it will not open any .psd or .jpeg files.  When I go to PSE menu - open a finder window opens up and when I go to choose a file, the open finder window goes disapears and then the menu bar gets faded out so I cannot access any of the menu options in PSE.  There are have not been any PSE warnings or messages. I have to use force quit on PSE.  I have restarted my computer and even uninstalled and reinstalled PSE 11 and this still did not solve the issue.  I am running OSX 10.9 with 16 GB of memory and a 3.06 Intel Core 2 Duo. 

    That was BRILLIANT how you somehow knew I had the coverflow view open.  I tried to close the coverflow first thing but PSE closed down again so I went through the steps again previously suggested .........in my Finder - Library - Preferences - and deleted the follow again: (com.adobe.PhotoshopElements.plist / Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 Paths / Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 Settings)  I was then able to close the coverflow view and the combination of tweeks helped.  I can now get back to work after three days of headaches trying to solve this puzzle. 
    THANK YOU!!!

  • IPhoto will not open due to lack of application memory

    I am trying to open iPhoto to move some photos to an external drive. iPhoto is not opening as it appears I am running out of Application Memory. I have run the disk utilities and everything is fine. I have closed all other applications so that is the only app running yet it still will not open. What can I do to get some of those photos off so I will not have this problem?

  • FCP will not open after upgrade to snow leopard

    I ran MacKeeper on my MacPro, then my FCP would not open. Upgraded my OS to Snow Leopard, FCP still will not open.
    By the way, I uninstalled MacKeeper, I think.  Need some help PLEASE!!!!!

    It sounds like MacKeeper (it's junk! stay away!) did a number on your computer. Doing a major upgrade to a Mac when it already has problems will just exacerbate those problems.
    Had you been using Time Machine? How long ago did you install MacKeeper?

    I have a Crystal Report that will not open.  It gives the following error messages:
    1.The report uses and invalid printer.  The default printer will be used instead.
    2.Failed to open document.
    3.TSLV Record Not Found.
    4.The report couldnot be opened for writing. Any changes must be saved to a new file.
    Then it will not open the file at all.  Anyon have this type of issue before?

    Tammy Chavez: Is there another program to try to open it with?
    I don't think so, forget that. If you downloaded the file with Firefox try to do it again with Internet Explorer. I remember some time ago Mozilla having issues with some binary files. Or tell the client to zip the file before emailing it to you - if unzipping works and CR still complains about missing records then the problem is only on your machine and you should check the dlls (Google for them).

  • CS6 Camera Raw 7.4 "will not open" compatible D800 NEF Raw files (Win7)

    CS6 camera raw 7.4 "will not open" the compatible D800 NEF Raw files (Win7). D300 NEF files open OK.
    I seem to remember seeing an article that stated i would have to uninstall and re-install CS6 Photoshop completely and re-install again. However I cannot find this article now.
    If the above is true, having PS version CS4 with update CS5 & 6 installed, would i have to remove all PS versions.
    Photoshop error message just states download latetest software version, which i have done with ACR 7.4. I have also tried ACR 8 which did open file either.
    Also when ACR8 is hosted by Photoshop CS6, it does not offer any of  the new features described in Photoshop CC marketing materials for ACR8 (Re: DPReview mag) so i returned to 7.4
    Adobe DNG runs OK but i would rather deal with the original file in ACR rather than adding an additional step with more files to keep track of.
    Is there a way of uninstalling all versions of ACR, cleaning system and re-installing ACR, assuming the fault lies with ACR?
    Anyone have any answers?

    Half an hour after posting this query (in the wrong forum) I resolved the issue. The fault lies with Nikon Transfer.
    Nikon Transfer corrupts the D800 NEF files. Apparently Nikon Transfer is well known for causing errors.
    Drag & dropping the files direct from the memory card onto your hard drive and everything works fine.
