File Corrupted? Import Backup Project file?

I have a project in Final Cut X, and both the event and the project folders are on an external HD.
My mac crashed while working in Final Cut.   WHen I reopen final cut, the current Project doesn not appear in the library.
(The matching event is there in the EVent Library.)
When I go to Finder, I can find the correct final cut project file.  It doesn't open, saying it might be corrupt.  There is a  BACKUP folder, and several of those backups seem to work.... Sort of.
They open the correct video in the preview screen.  It plays correctly.   But.... I cannot export or make changes as there still is no "project" in the project library.
How can I import this "backup" file into Final Cut X so that I can work on it, export it, etc?
(And in a related note, the crashing is sudden and weird and only happens in FInal Cut X.  It just goes black, and then a message appears saying something like, "Your computer shutdown because of a problem..."  )
MacBook Pro.  8GB ram.
Can you help?
Brad in Denver.
PS.   I'm freaking out.  Such a headache..on a deadline and lost 5 or 6 hours of work.
PPS.  THe import function doesn't seem to work for project files.  (greyed out.)
Fingers crossed!!  : )

Something bad has been done in your project library. There should not a waveform caceh folder in there. Some of the other folders look every strange. Have you been moving things arounds inside the projects folder or into or out of the projects folder at the Finder level?
The project appears to be called Backups. Where was that located? I don't understand how a project would appear in the viewer and not be selected in the project library, while nothing appears in inspector.

    Hi
    Why are you trying to import BPM zip file are you trying to configure the out of the box workflows?
    They are something that need to be deployed from the process admin on BPM.
    There would be the .exp file you would need as its BPM 10g that you would need to use.

  • How to Import Garageband projects and files into Cubase for Windows?

    Hi
    I've recently started using Garageband to record my ideas and compositions. I had 2 main questions:
    1. How do I transfer the audio files created in Garageband in a format which will allow me to edit them in Music Software for a Windows based Operating system? Tranferring them to iTunes and then converting them to MP3 doesn't help because then my friends can't edit my guitar parts and other backing tracks.
    Mainly I need to know how to save and import Garageband projects and individual tracks into Cubase/ Cakewalk for Windows so that my band guys can edit the tracks and send me their ideas.
    I'm the only one out of my friends who has an Apple Macbook and most of my band guys still use Windows based Operating systems.
    2. I record my guitars and other instruments using the Digitech GNX4 guitar effects processor as the sound source through USB. While I can record clean guitar without any problem, the moment I switch on the distortions on the GNX 4, there is a loud and constant hum from the speakers. I am therefore not being able to record distorted guitar sounds.
    Please help on this.
    Thanks and hope to hear from you all.
    Cheers
    Prash

    Tranferring them to iTunes and then converting them to MP3
    same as the protools procedure:
    http://www.bulletsandbones.com/GB/GBFAQ.html#openinprotools
    there is a loud and constant hum from the speakers.
    Could be a ground loop problem. Test it using the MacBook on battery power only.

  • Premiere Pro CC crashes when I import CS6 project files

    I recently upgraded to CC, but every time I try to import my project file from Premiere Pro CS6 into Premiere Pro CC it crashes, or stops working if you like.
    This is very irritating as I wanted to make use of the SpeedGrade workflow in the CC packaged between Premiere Pro CC.
    My project file is no longer than 1 minute, however is does contain After Effects CS6 compositions, could this possible cause the crash? I have tried to import without these but it still stops working for some reasons.
    Also I have no idea where to find the error log for crashes on Adobe software.

    I have experienced similar crashes and timeline playback failure when importing a CS6 project into CC or CC 2014. I had to rebuild two projects by hand before I realized it was a bug in CC converting the CS6 project files to CC project files. I don't think this has been addressed yet, but I have had better luck starting projects from scratch in CC, not cross-converting a CS6 project. Although I'm still experiencing issues with multicam projects in CC 2014.
    Curious to hear others chime in on this.

  • Importing MS Project files into P6v7

    As a new user to P6v7, I was attempting to import MS project 2007 files into P6. The file types I have are .MPP type files (converted from 2003 version). The P6 import function dropdown only lists .MPX file types to import from MS Project. I am unable to select any of my existing files to import. Any one have ideas how to change this import setting for P6v7 ?
    Dan

    Hi Dan,
    using MPP-files you need to install a Project 2003 (as I remember right with SP3) and then the P6 Client. Then you will get the option to import also mpp-files.

  • Can I import a project from laptop which has same file names as existing

    Im about to import a project from Aperture on my on-road laptop to my main Aperture library on my studio Mac when i realised that the new camera i purchased for the road trip has named the files exactly the same as some files (but different pictures) which already exist in my studio Mac. Even though they exist in different projects, what will happen if i import the new project into my main Aperture Library?

    Hi Sunspeaks;
    I just had a similar problem. Since I had my MBP on the trip, we were downloading our photos to Aperture there in projects. When I returned home I discovered we had with photos with the same names but different project names. I was able to import everything into Aperture without any trouble. For my own sanity I did a batch rename to change the photo names in Aperture after the import.

  • How can I import iphoto projects (books) into Iphoto?

    My un-backupped Mac crashed, and I had the files recreated professionally. Now I want to import my books back into iPhoto, but either I am trying with the wrong files, or I am doing it wrong. Anyway I cannot import the "project.db" files, which the Mac tries to open i Word by default!
    Any ideas how to do it?

    Simply putting files in to specific places is enough to recreate the Library. An iPhoto Library is not just a gathering of files but a complex ecosystem of interlinked files, caches and database files. It's more than the sum of its parts, and those parts are not always what you think. For instance, those project.db files have nothing to do with books

  • FCP Backup Project Questions

    Hi Everyone,
    Say I had several questions and was hoping another FCP user could answer them for me.
    I recently had a hard drive fail that housed all of the captured video for a project that was complete, but had not yet been exported out. A real bummer.
    I did not worry about it too much since it was only the captured video and audio and thought all I needed to do was just go in, select the offline files and recapture the footage. Boy was I wrong.
    This had been my backup philosophy thus far, backup my project files, graphics, music, etc etc and dump all of the captured video and audio on the project, since I had the original tapes. If I needed to go back into the project I could just recapture. I developed this from other users suggestions from here.
    Well on this project, when the hard drive crashed, since I had all the same files I would normally backup I assumed it would be the same deal. I have never had to go back to a backup project so I had not tested this before.
    When I attempt to batch capture the original footage, some captures fine, while others come up prompting me to change a file name because one already exists and even on stuff that will recapture, it comes up saying it cannot be reconnected because the capture footage does not match. Sigh. I am puzzled by these messages since, the settings for the recapture are the same, and the file cannot exist since ALL the footage is gone.
    So what I am faced with now is confusion over what is a good, solid way to backup ones projects. Am I doing something wrong when setting projects up that cause them to be such a headache to recover? Many of the projects I do are using a 24p Adavanced setting. Sometimes I remove the advanced pulldown when capturing, sometimes after I have captured. My setups, for the most part, are normally the same.
    Can I start a dialogue with some fellow editors out there who have some experience here? I am real curious to know what works for you and any thoughts on what could be causing my current woes.
    Thanks so much!

    Ok, well here is where I am at:
    I performed the XML export as suggested, but ran into the same issues. Let me give a more detailed description of the issues.
    After the hard drive crashed and I lost all my captured video and audio, I replaced the drive and named it the same as the previous one.
    So when I went back into my project, the normal message pops up that items are offline, etc. I hit continue past this and tried to batch capture the footage again. On several clips FCP (version 5.0.4) would come back reporting that there was a Duplicate Item Name and try to force me to rename it or skip (Why does it not give an option to overwrite??). Now in the bin there is only 1 clip with the name, so I am assuming it is picking up on something else. On other clips, it does not prompt this, but when I have finished recapturing (mind you I have left the box checked to use the logged settings) it comes back to report that the clip cannot be reconnected because the beginning or end times are different, etc, etc.
    So per the great suggestions on here I exported (with the Source showing in browser) the whole thing to XML and then imported it into a new project. Same problems as before. So I looked through the Source in the browser and noticed some stated they were offline, while others stated they were on the old crashed drive. So I set them all to be offline and told it to delete the files from the hard drive.
    Again I have tried to recapture to no avail.
    I am now attempting to blow out the hard drive and wipe it clean, then rename it to see if I can get FCP to recapture the darn footage.
    Does anyone else have any suggestions??
    And furthermore, what is the best method to backing up a project?? Should I go through and take all the clips offline in FCP, deleting the footage and then as I have been doing, save the project file, graphics, etc, etc. Basically, how do I get FCP to recapture stuff if I ever have such a problem or need to go back into a backed up project again??
    Thanks ALL!

  • Error importing old project into Premiere Elements 11

    Trying to import old project backup - that I made a couple of years ago.  When importing the Project file, I get the error
    "The selected file cannot be linked because it's type (video) does not match the original files type (audio and video)."
    I try and select the file, but it then gives the error "The selected file cannot be linked because its type (audio and video) does not match the original file's type (video).
    If I skip the ones that give me the error, I get an incomplete edit - with lots of bits missing.
    HELP!!!  I need to sort this asap......for a client.
    Thanks

    filippinno
    Here is my plan, either a start to better or a dud. We are going to start small to get a foothold in this.
    My major puzzlement is you telling me that you are replacing video with video and getting the message
    The selected file cannot be linked because its type (audio and video) does not match the original file's type (video)
    .The only time I have ever seen that message is when someone is trying to replace still with video or video with still.
    At this moment, where are the source media that went into the original Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 project? Let us say, all in Documents in a folder named Special - all have their original names. Given that you are 100% that they are the ones that went into this project...the type (video or still) and file name and file extension.
    I am not sure if it matters for this test whether or not you are using Premiere Elements 11 or 9.0/9.0.1, I just want to find out what is going on with your source media.
    (a) Open the project using Skip All if you are hit with a bunch of "Where is....?" messages which I assume you will be.
    (b) Go to the Timeline, pick a file with the colorful Media Offline display, write down the file name from its title band.
    Right click that file on the Timeline and select Find in Media.
    From Organize Media, delete the Media Offline thumbnail that was pointed out to you clicking Reveal in Media.
    Go back to the Timeline and this same file, right click it and this time select Reveal in Project. That should take you to Project. Delete the file there that Reveal in Project points you to. That will also delete is counterpart on the Timeline. All traces of that particular Media Offline file are now gone in the project.
    In that project, go to Get Media/Files and Folders and browse to and select the original file (with the exact same file name and kind that you just deleted from the project) that you have saved back in that Special Folder in Documents.
    Drag that file from Organize Media or Project to the Timeline in the space made available by your deletion of it as an Media Offline thumbnail.
    Does that work to replace that particular file. Is it the file that you had there originally? Keep in mind that we are identifying this file by name in each step and need a match of file name from start to end.
    If this works for one, then we can plan around this basic finding. And, if this works we may revert back to Replace Footage. But, let us see what happens here first.
    What is your estimate of how many of these Media Offline displays are there to be dealt with? How many of the media are in place on that Timeline and are no problem?
    Looking forward to the results.
    Thanks.

  • Message pool cannot be resolved - importing a project to nwdi dc component

    Hello guys,
    I'm trying import a project to the nwdi structure, but I'm passing by a lot of problems.
    At first I can’t compile my application. The message pool class IMessage[ComponentName] aren’t been generated in the directory .\DCs\[vendor]\atr\_comp\gen_wdp\packages\[package name]\wdp. I try reload, repair, open and close, upgrade the IDE (now I’m with 2.0.12). I tried until put the file manually, I generated by the previous project (out of the nwdi/dc/structure) and I tried put it in the actual solution, however it’s deleted each build.
    Second, I'd like to know how create a dependency to an external jar (for example mail.jar) in the CBS. Should I only put the jar in the lib directory and upload in the dtr? Or should I put it in the CMS dependencies - how to?

    For the first problem.
    Import the project in the NWDI. Then navigate to the component where message pool belongs to. There will be a action Repair in the component. Execute that.It seems the metadata is corrupt and hence generation halts. This will correct the metadata and then generation should work correctly.
    For the second problem.
    You can create a external jar dc. And put the jar in lib folder of that dc.
    Submit this dc.Create dependecy to this dc to access the jar.
    See these bolgs for creation of external dc's

  • Importing older projects

    Never mind the hype, I have been unable to import some projects created on Premiere 6, CS4 crashes with an "unknown problem" where I have been able to import CS$4 crashes when I try and read the sequence information.
    As for anything older such as premiere 5, CS4 insists that the files are corrupt.
    Since ppj files are editable in a text editor, is there any way, any utility anything that could strip out what CS4 does not like in order to import these older projects?
    Whilst there is much in CS4 I like, there is much I do not, and not everything is an improvement. Some filters and effects have been lost and the ability to import Mpegs with AC3 sound has disapeared completely.
    Some of my original projects were saved on a system using a Matrox card, which had the oddity of importing DV as seperate AVI and Wav files, could that be part of the problem?
    Larry

    Not to be unfriendly or dismissive, but you should post this directly in the Premiere forum, not here in the general suite forum. You'll get a lot more help over there.

  • Importing web project into Workshop 9.2

    Hi,
    I'm trying to import an existing web project into Workshop 9.2.1 from my Subversion source. Unfortunately Workshop doesn't recognize this project as a valid web project.
    I imported the code project using 'File>Import>Existing Projects' into Workspace.
    Unfortunately, I get the following errors:
    - "The library module reference : beehive-netui-1.0 is not allowed from the classpath of a non-web project, only JAR,EJB, and EAR module types are allowed."
    - "The library module reference : jstl is not allowed from the classpath of a non-web project, only JAR,EJB, and EAR module types are allowed."
    How do I tell Workshop that this project is indeed a web project?
    Does anyone have any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Derrek

    Wow.... I figured out a workaround (aka Ugly Hack). It seems that Workshop doesn't properly import Portlet projects. Here's how I got around it:
    1. Checkout the code from Subversion
    d:\MyProjects\Project\trunk\MyComponent\
    2. Move MyComponent to a temp directory
    d:\MyProjects\Project\trunk\MyComponent\ --> d:\tmp\MyComponent
    3. Open Workshop and create a new Portal project and PortalEAR project of the same name as the MyComponent projects
    File>New myComponentPortal
    4. Copy over the src and WebContent directories in the SVN directory with the files from tmp.
    d:\tmp\MyComponent\src -> d:\MyProjects\Project\trunk\MyComponent\src
    d:\tmp\MyComponent\src\WebContent -> d:\MyProjects\Project\trunk\MyComponent\WebContent
    5. Refresh Workshop and let the spooky voodoo happen. Viola! Now I've got a running portal project with a SVN connection.

  • Importing EDL project frame rate is always 23.98

    Hi There,
    I'm importing a 24 frame EDL. All of the import settings are set to 24 fps. However on import, the project frame rate is always 23.98.
    I have added the number 24 to the defaulteframerate section of the preferences file, but no luck.
    Anyone found a solution to this?
    Thanks

    Just a wild guess since I don't normally work in 24 fps... all of us NTSC-biased types accept that 23.98 (more accurately, if not absolutely precisely expressed as 23.976) is the "pull-down" frame rate that results from a telecine transfer, and is the rate that is assumed, corresponding to 29.97 or 1000/1001.
    This framerate is emulated in a number of "Digital Cinema" electronic origin formats.
    Absolute 24.0000 fps is a bit rare in these parts and in reality probably would only come up if one were working with a dpx image sequence properly scanned, not telecined.
    Not saying that 24.000 does not exist -- I'd say that it is just as uncomfortable a fit in 25 fps-land as it is here! And Color / Final Touch has been notoriously bad with 25 fps.
    good luck and merry christmas....
