Final Cut Pro won't load my project.

I have an external hard drive that I keep all my projects on and today I tried to load a project, but it won't load,
I have attached a screenshot below, it has been stuck like this for the last 4 hours.

Just to add a to Al's advice, working within the FCP X UI, try to copy one of the events (not the troublesome one) to the new library.  Let us know how you make out.

  • Final Cut Pro won't load anything and keeps crashing.. help!

    Just got FCP today  with my new MBP. It was working fine and it crashed. Now I open and it doesn't load the clips and the timeline doesn't show the preview. I've attached a screenshot. It opens for about 30 seconds then crashes. I tried reparing permissions but got nothing. Any ideas?
    As you can see dark blue areas shouldn't obviously have images but they aren't loading FCP is crashing

    What are the specs if your computer? What are the specs of your media?
    Trash your preferences. Trash event and project render files.

  • Installed a ATI Radeon HD 5770, now Final Cut Pro won't even open - says 0mb Vram?

    Installed a ATI Radeon HD 5770, now Final Cut Pro won't even open - says 0mb Vram?  Only dvi port work the two mini's not at all.  Bad card?  Macpro 3,1

    I would guess there is a a corrupt media in the project. You could also try to copy a part of it to new project which is shorter and see what happens. 5 Hours is extremely long. Best to divide it to smaller sections.

  • Final Cut Pro has stopped loading!!!

    Final Cut Pro has stopped loading!!! - I'm sure this is an easy thing to fix but every time I click on Final Cut Pro, the program begins to load, and at the final hurdle, it stops and returns to the dock as if I had never asked it to load in the first place. I tried to log in under a different account and final cut worked, but only for a while. I tried a previous 'help' tip by deleting the .plist to see if that helped but alas no.
    Thanking you in advance

    Does it crash while the splash screen is up? If so, see what's loading when the crash occurs. There could be something corrupt in your project if it's past the splash screen and you have your preferences set to load the last project on setup. If this is the problem, do some searching here on corruption for some clues.

  • Final Cut Pro won't open

    Hi All,
    Please bear with me as I'm new to this forum.
    Final Cut Pro won't open on my computer and as a message, a window appear and says:
    "the waver form cache files folder does not have read/write access. Please select a new folder in the system setting dialogue or correct the problem on disk".
    I don't have access to the dialogue box at anytime because when I turn on FCP and this message appears, when I click "OK", FCP turns off. I have tried to open it through the icone but the same message comes back again.
    Can someone help me?
    Thanks a lot!

    I never suggested repairing the boot disk.
    I should have been more specific in my suggestions.
    In my experience the best way to repair permissions via Disk Utility is to restart the computer in safe boot mode/repair permissions/restart.
    It is my understanding that running Disk Utility without a safe boot is less than effective.
    I do think this process is better than running DU from the OS disk but there are worst case scenarios where it must be done. The original posting probably doesn't apply to this situation.

  • Final Cut Pro won't open any of my projects.

    I had a one month break not having time to work on my videos, during which I have updated Final Cut Pro X to version 10.1.1. Now my projects have vanished from the library, and it won't open .fcpevent or .fcpproject files. When browsing in Finder, everything looks as it always has, but Final Cut library shows only the original clips, none of the edited work. If I try to open .fcpproject file, it states that "The document “CurrentVersion.fcpproject” could not be opened. Final Cut Pro cannot open files in the “Final Cut Pro Project” format." Months of work on a sketch series has thus just disappeared, and my backups are just as useless as the originals. I'm new to Final Cut and edit videos as my hobby and don't quite understand all the features. I've got no idea what to do or try.

    Is that an external hard drive? I can't see the left side.
    What have you done so far? It looks like a library was created for that drive and the old projects and events were put in a back up folder. Where did these new projects and events come from? None of them after the correct FCP icon. They only have generic icons, and they were all modified today. Did you open them in 10.0.9 today? How were they modified?
    Change the name of the folder called Misc. to sonething else.

  • Final Cut Pro won't open project

    Please Help!!
    I have been working on a final cut pro project for a week and it will not open my project. When I saved it to an external drive and tried to access it it wouldn't let me open it.

    Here ya go

  • Final Cut Library Won't Load!

    My Final Cut Library, based on an external drive, won't load. It gets stuck loading certain events.
    It all began earlier when my Library WOULD open, but it would take 10-15 minutes to do so. I finally realized it was because it was attempting to access thousands of PNG files on an external drive that caused the hangup. Noticing that the local machine drive handled these files much better than my external drive, I moved the folder of media to my local drive with the goal of reconnecting the media files.
    Then, when I opened up my Library in Final Cut (after taking 15 minutes to do so), the event with the trouble files contained NO CLIPS within it whatsoever (in fact, the star Event Logo wasn't present next to the name of the event). The clips were still in the sequence that I had cut in, but they would not open in the media browser at all.
    Now, trying the main Library again OR the local backup (from the Movies folder), the app gets stuck once it opens. I can't click anything within it.
    I'm stuck, don't know what to do, am on a deadline, and would sure love some help. Thank you to any kind and knowledgeble souls out there!

    All the files were being linked to the folder on the same external drive at the library is on. I.e., I "left the files in place." I figured if I just renamed that external folder, the files would register as off-line in the event, and I could relink the event to the copy of the files on my internal drive. Granted, I did not know you could use the consolidated feature in Final Cut Pro to relocate original files. I did it by hand in the Finder. The weirdest part of all, is that the event still remains in the library within Final Cut, but it's only text with no event logo next to it, and if I selected, all the original clips that were in that event have vanished, meaning I can't select and relink them.
    Unless I can try what you're saying of inserting the files directly into the event folder within the library package, I'm having to create a new event and import the new files from the internal drive clean. It requires me to redo all my edit with the graphic files, but it seems I don't have much other choice. Even if I were to replace the graphic files back into the original event folder, they would still be running off of the external Drive, which caused the problem in the first place. So far, accessing the graphic files off the internal drive has gone lightning fast.

  • Final Cut Pro Won't Open, bounces once in dock

    I am running Final Cut Studio 2 and everything has worked perfectly for about 6 months. When i started up my computer today I clicked to open Final Cut Pro and i t just bounced once in the dock, then did nothing. All the other studio programs(motion, soundtrack, color etc...) open up just fine. I have not run any updates in a few weeks, infact, that computer isn't even hooked up to the internet. I tried deleting the preferences, opening up form the applicaitons folder and double clicking a project file and final cut still just bounces once in the dock and then does nothing. A safe boot didn't do the trick either. Does anyone have any ideas as far as what i could try short of doing a re install of final cut studio?

    tried deleting the preferences ...
    When you say "tried" do you mean you did? which files did you trash, or which app did you use to do it? I'm liking "Preference Manager" for this at the moment (http://www.digitalrebellion.com/pref_man.htm)
    Also as a troubleshooting step you might want to create a new OS X user account, log in to it, and then see if FCP will launch in that new account.

  • Any ideas on why Final Cut Pro won't install?

    I tried to load in my version 6.0 of Final Cut Pro Academic into my computer at my music school and at the point when I loaded in the disk after "Audio Content 3", I think it was "Studio Pro Content" or "Motion" disc (sorry I can't remember which disc) a black sort of veneer came over the screen and said, "You must restart your computer"...
    It was in a KP crash I think because all the fans were going crazy and all I could do was hold the start button for 6 seconds and the computer shut down. I had a problem loading in LOGIC Pro once and the fix was to repair permissions. So I did that and then restarted and tried to reinstall Final Cut Pro but at the same disc the computer went into a crash. I have recently done checks of my RAM and all 4.5 GB seems to be fine. I checked all my system requirements for the Final Cut Pro software and I have more than enough of everything. BTW I have a PowerMac 2.7 Dual with all the latest OS, and current downloads, etc.
    Obviously the disk could be bad but the full software, all disks, loaded fine on my home computer. Could it be that I should totally uninstall Final Cut from my computer at the music school and try again? Any ideas - thanks!

    hey i may just be talkin out my arse here, but r u sure yer comp has ALL the requirements to run final cut pro? if its hd, it might require more stuff that u dont have yet. we had to go out and buy a new mac with all the requirements that cost over like a 1000 bucks, so make sure u have all the requirements. we thot a good mac wud be sufficient, but no, it needs to be like one of the best macs there is!!! here they are i think: http://www.apple.com/finalcutstudio/specs.html good luck!

  • Can I open Final Cut Pro X Archives, Events or Projects in iMovie?

    I did  a trial version of FInal Cut Pro X for a month and imported some events, did some archiving and a couple of projects. I don't think I'll end up buying FCP X - at least not for now as Imovie seems to cover my needs. Is there a way for me to move these archives, events and/or projects to iMovie?

    If you imported your media with transcoding or copy options, then you can recover those files from the Final Cut Events > EventName > Original Media folder (as long as they are not aliases to the originals.)  If you archived originals on Import you can retreive your media from the archive (looks like a film "can") by right-clicking and selecting Show Package Contents (you should see basically the same layout as is on your memory card in your camera.) Just go in and drag them out, then trash the archive. Other than that, the data saved in the Final Cut Projects folder is pretty useless for any other app.

  • Final Cut Pro won't open windows

    Hi
    I'm pretty new to FInal Cut Pro, and am still getting used to it, so forgive me if this question has a blindingly simple or obvious solution, as I'm reasonably sure it has.
    For some reason, FCP is not wanting to open certain windows. More specifically in this instance the Tool Bench option under the Windows menu is greyed out, and won't let me open the window.
    I've had problems previously where FCP would refuse to allow me to open the timeline window too. Is there something obvious I'm missing?
    Thanks in advance.

    the tool bench window would only be an option if you actually had a tool bench hosted tool open (ie those tools listed under the tools menu) without a tool open then the tool bench window would just be a big grey empty square ... hence the option is disabled until you open a tool.
    similarly the timeline and canvas window would be disabled if you did not actually have a sequence open else they would have nothing to show ... same rules apply
    cheers
    Andy

  • Final Cut Pro won't fully open with new OS 10.10.3

    final cut pro version 10.2 will not open with OS 10.10.3. Rather, it starts to open in my project, then hangs up with the spinning wheel that never stops. I upgraded the OS to this one just last week and haven't been able to open fcp cc since then

    1. Can I rename the library as I wish to reflect the project topic?
    - Libraries can be named anything you wish.  Rename them in the Finder.  Or simply name them when you first create them.
    2. Can I safely drag it into the external drive so everything is in the same place and space is saved on the computer? I realize upon FCP start-up I'd have to locate the library to re-establish the connection.
    - You can move Libraries to any location you wish in the Finder.  If you don't want your media to do offline (relink), you can select the Library in the Browser, go to the Inspector, click the Consolidate button.  This puts everything physically inside the Library so it is self-contained.
    3. The library (on the computer hd) seems to create new libraries sometimes. One when I used FCP the first time. Another when I restarted using option/command, etc. Another with a little test video when I first purchased the program. Can I delete every single library (now in the movie folder) other than the one I am working on, or does the FCP system somehow need to hang on to one or more other libraries?
    - There has to be one Library open when you launch FCPX.  If you closed all your Libraries before quitting FCPX, then it will create a default Library in your Movies folder.  You can move unneeded Libraries to the trash in the Finder, FCPX doesn't care.

  • Final Cut Pro won't update

    My Final Cut Pro X software won't update from 10.0.3 to 10.0.4
    Has this occured to anyone else?
    How do i solve my problem?

    Did the update show as available to you for download when you went to App Store>FCP? Did it download but not install? Check Applications to make sure FCPX is not "hiding" in a folder.
