Is there any "autosave vault" in FCPro X???.

In FCP 7, autosave vault is good to find old projects and avoid disasters when working on complex projects...
Has FCPX something similar to go back in time????
Thank you

Sorry Salva
In FCP X there is no autosave, there is not even a normal "save" function ... the application instead maintains a constantly preserved state. Thats great, but the downside is that you can't restore to an earlier version .... yet. The new version of OS X Lion, due for release very soon, incorparates exactly this kind of functionality within the OS itself ... however we will still need Apple to release an update to FCP X that takes advantage of this feature, if they choose to do so.
Cheers
Andy

WIll the window software Wondershare Dr.Fone not recover the photos from the phone if you download or upload it to iTunes? It states it does?

Is there any way to use a "filmstrip" effect like FCPro X has?

We use both FCP 7 & X. Does anyone know, are there any third parties, or Apple for that matter, that would allow us to create the filmstrip transition or effect that we see in X? They hae a Pan down in X that looks pretty neat.
Any similar type effects available in FCP 7?
Thanks,
Larry

Just an idea: how about if you master the part the way you want (just the one track - nothing else), export it to iTunes, and then reintroduce the already mastered effect as one track on the next phase of the project?

Why is FCP Studio saving my Autosave Vault files as FC Express project files?

I have had FCPro Studio for some time now and haven't used my FC Express software for a long time, but somehow in the Autosave Vault folder, my project is being saved as a Final Cut Express Project File. And if I try to open one of them it only produces a Error message. How did this happen? Is there someplace that remembers how I used to save FCE files and defaults to that or what? I can't find anyplace in the Preferences or Settings that tell it how to save things. Help if you can. Thanks

Thanks for the heads up Tom on Andy's idea. I like what Andy recommended, as I see that it will probably do the job to right the problem, however, before I do it... I do have projects that I haven't finished in FCE and don't want them messed up if ALL files will now open as FCP. What do I do to keep things separate OR would it be better to just upgrade those projects to FCP and finish them there. It is definitely a better program. Will the FCE projects suffer any ill effects by now being FCP projects? OR should I just finish them in FCE and how do I keep them as such if I do the Cmd I change for the other files that need to be changed?
Thanks, Andy and Tom,
Jon
PS. I changed ONE of the files that was from my FCP project and was being saved as a FCE project file and I DIDN"T change all, just the one. This seems to be one way to keep all the other FCE project files as they should be. I could just change one by one, only the Autosave Vault files in my FCP project that I need, and so preserve the projects that are FCE projects from changing. First-is this a good work flow and Second-How do I get the Autosave Vault to, from now on - save my FCP project files AS FCP project files?
Thanks

Date Format in Autosave Vault

I have just noticed that the date format used in the names of Autosaved files in the Autosave Vault Folder are in the US format which I find confusing and risks error. How can I change this to the European format of dd/mm/yy? (I have searched the manual and Tom's book.)
Thanks.

You have got me there, Steve!
In the nine months I have been using FCE, I wasn't aware there was a date in there, let alone its format.
I can't imagine any circumstance where it could possibly cause errors.
I have never needed to use it and I fear you may be looking for problems that in reality either don't exist or don't matter.
I am sure that once you get editing you will forget all about it and it will never bother you again.
Mind you, now that I have had my attention drawn to it, I would like to know how it could be altered!

Does a DVD SP backup/autosave vault exist?

Does DVD SP create a backup of recent sessions (like FCP autosave vault)and if so, where would I find it? I save early and often. My recent session was lost (corrupted) as I was moving subtitles from one row to another. I had just hit save at the same time as it crashed and I suppose it corrupted the file. Now, when I try to open that file, I get "cannot open file" error. I have saved and saved using the same file name so there is no recent backup that I can find. Anyone know what are my options, if any?

- vault is not incremental. Thus, when you update
the vault (backup) you are effectively creating a
whole new backup to replace the one you had already.
It is incremental. I know, because I have created a vault and it only backs up what has changed, not the whole library. Very quick too. Not sure how you came up with this hypothesis. Have you tried to do this yet ?
Aperature architecture. Ok, so how do I go about
getting my newly imported files 'exported' as RAW
files to my DVD for backup purposes? I don't have
Two options:
1) You can export your newly imported master images to a folder on your hard drive and then use toast or the burn feature to burn a DVD.
2) Copy the images off the CF card, using Finder, to a local directory on your hard disk. Copy this directory off to a DVD for peace of mind. Now tell Aperture to import this directory into your library. After the import is complete, delete this directory.
documentation. Does 'export master' allow doing so
to a DVD and then burning? Somehow I dont think
I haven't been able to do that. So I don't think so.
I don't like the idea of relying on another hard
drive for backup purposes, so DVD's are peace of mind
for me (although I prefer to do both).
I agree with you on that.

I accidentally deleted my trash. Is there any way to undo it/recover the data?

Unfortunately, I don't have Time Machine set up on my MacBook Pro. And I can't do a "Cmd+z" because I've already performed other actions.
I had probably 50-100 GB worth of .mov files. I don't have them backed up anywhere else. I have Lion, but I'm not sure if that will be of any help because I didn't have the files open in a program that would use the "versions" or "autosave" features.
I already contacted Apple, and they said they couldn't legally recover the data because the trash has already been emptied, whatever that means.
Is there anything I can do to recover these files?
Also, are there any proven data recovery programs for Mac that will get the job done?
Thanks!

First, stop doing anything with the computer that had these files.
Second, there are programs that can recover data. How effective they are is based upon many factors that can't be listed here. One of those factors is how much work you have done with the computer after deleting the files.
I have had success with Data Rescue. Past experience does not guarantee future results.
You will need a second hard drive to save any recovered data.

I forgot to save a file in Numbers. Is there any way I can possibly get it back?

Do a search in Finder for Untitled.Numbers. If you find such a file, or some variation, try to open it and see what's there. That's if you never saved.
Mavericks is pretty good about autosaving, so you chances are not too bad. In the future though, never write a thing in a new document until you give it a name and a place.

Hi, I would like to know how can I recover a document from pages that I didn't save anytime and instead of clicking the button save I clicked the delete button at the end. Is there any way to recover it?

Hi, I would like to know how can I recover a document from pages that I didn't save anytime and instead of saving the doc I clicked the delete button. Is there any way to recover it?

Regardless of application, the first step that I take is to save and name the current document — even if it has no content yet. With Pages, this good habit enables autosave. As you add content, your document revision history is restorable via the File Revert To menu. The delete key has the same document foreboding as only teaching a pet raven to speak "Nevermore."

Autosave Vault files are corrupt

My project file has gone corrupt ("unknown file" message appeared and I was unable to save) so I had to close the file without saving.
I tried to open a file in the Autosave Vault, but ALL of these files have gone corrupt as well! (message: "unable to open file")
Is there anything else I can do? I've lost a lot of work. ;(
Anything will help!
thanks.

Did you download the right Disk files for your platform - is your hardware 32 or 64-bit? (ia64 is for e.g. Itanium-based machines)

Autosave vault won't take serial number

FCP 7 is second language to me after Avid. Trying to access a backup of a project. On opening, I get a box asking for name and serial number. Put it in, I get a message saying that the number is invalid, and then a crash message that Final Cut Express HD has crashed. But it's an FCP7 project, trying to get it open in FCP7. I notice all the project files are labeled Final Cut Express Files. I have deleted every Final Cut Express file and app I can find. Help.

If you open fcp first and "open" the autosave file from the file menu does that work?
Digital Rebellion has a project repair app
http://www.digitalrebellion.com/promaintenance/
There's a free trial.
You might also make sure that the application associated with the project is correct.
from the finder, select one project file in the autosave vault and hit command-i. Make siure "open with" is set to Final Cut Pro. if it isn't, change it and "change all." You might want to back up the files before you do this.

Waveform cache, thumbnail cache and autosave vault

Sorry but I still have a couple more questions.
Should i be moving the waveform cache, thumbnail cache and autosave vault over to external hard drive with the media? And where and how are the project files stored on my internal system drive? Just trying to organize the location of everything before I go any farther!

Hey digginin to my Mac. I am where you were a bit ago, and I think I understand your question about where to set those cache files, and I am a little unclear on this as well.
I am probably making a mountain of a mole hill, but I believe you are talking about that bit at the bottom of the window of the Scratch Disc pane of the System settings. I am working my way through Tom Wolsky, and he seems to say to set those three things (waveform cache, thumbnail cache and autosave vault) to go to the external. It's a bit unclear to me though. I currently have them set for my documents folder on my MBP. And in my documents folder is a folder called "Final Cut Express Documents" in which are six folders (Audio Render Files, Autosave Vault, Capture Scratch, Render Files, Thumbnail Cache Files, Waveform Cache Files). I set up a scratch disk, and captured some video to it. It currently has those same six folders. Everything okay so far?
I have just set up another scratch disk, which will actually be my main scratch disk, and will be used for a pretty big project involved many hours of video. I haven't captured any video to that yet. It only has three files (Capture Scratch, Audio Render Files, and Render Files). I guess the other three get created when I capture some video to it. And I guess I can select that particular scratch disk when I go to capture the video.
Am I in the ballpark over here? Thanks in a advance.

Is there any way to increase the number of codecs supported in FCE?

Hi all - does anyone know if there is a way to allow FCE to natively edit more codecs than are listed in the default sequence settings? I use FCPro and have been encouraging folks at my University to use FCE for intermediate editing. I just found out that many formats supported in FCP are not supported in FCE.
Are there any plug-ins or anything we can buy to increase the types of files that FCE will support (in a sequence without rendering)?
Follow up: if not, can anyone tell me the specifics of the 720p30 AIC format that FCE uses?
Apple Intermediate Codec
1280x720
30fps progressive?
bitrate?
audio sampling rate?
It seems odd to me that FCE has such a limited number of formats it supports natively. And why isn't ProRes 422 a part of FCE? I thought that was their big thing now - HD wihtout taking up all the real estate that AIC does.
Thanks. I'm frustrated with both iMovie and FCE and wishing that Sony Vegas worked on Macs!

Hi(Bonjour)!
Well FCE is a stripped down version of FCP, for a fraction of the price. It was aimed to produce TV content in TV native resolution.
In the past years, HDV and AVCDHD were added through AIC codec.
For most of FCE users (from the beginner to intermediate video editors)those formats are adequate.
To have access to native HDV or to Apple ProRes 422, you have to buy Final Cut Studio 2. All those codecs will be available in FCE export with quickitme conversion settings.

Are there any ways to make sure FCPX saves the project before quitting?

The other day when I was working on a project, Final Cut Pro did not save any changes I made for the last 3 hours. I lost all of my work. I understand that FCP is supposed to autosave projects, but it didn't. Are there any ways to make sure that it saves before quitting? I am currently running the trial version 10.0.8, and I plan to upgrade to the full version, soon, provided there aren't too many bugs.

It turns out it was a corrupted project. All other projects autosave before quitting, but that one always displays the same last modified time. I solved it by creating a brand new project.

Is there any way to see what Guest connections are active?

The DHCP reservation popup only shows connections with full access. I can't see any way to see who/what is connected using a Guest logon. Is there any way to do this?

You can browse it a little more easily with TextWranger. You can also search it:

See what happens when you restore a vault:

It actually renames your existing library and creates a new one.
