Lost Sequence in FCP7 - both in project and in Autosave!!!

Hey,
I've encountered a strange problem with fcp7. I was working on something last night, saved it and when I opened the project this morning, that particular sequence is empty but for one clip.
Everything else in the project is intact, including all the elements I had been importing all through.
I have Autosave set up for every 10 minutes, but its the same in all the autosave projects for 3 hrs- so I can only recover my work as at 4pm.
these guys have had almost similar problems:

and

but no solution here works.
Any ideas?
Many thanks

For a wider audience and better reponse,I would re-post this in the FinalCut Studio forum.

  • I have lost all audio on both my internal and external speakers.

    I have lost audio on both my internal and external speakers.  I have checked the System Preferences when my external speakers are plugged in it is acknowledged.  When using internal speakers they are also acknowledged.  Sound volume on Preferences is on and fully high.  The sound buttons on the keyboard  do not work and the sound level is now locked in at full sound and cannot be adjusted using the keys.  The System Preferences shows that Mute is now checked and I cannot uncheck it.  What should I do to get my sound back both internally and externally?

    Repair permissions & restart.
    Check your settings in the Audio Midi app which is located in the Utilities folder.

    =====================
    Repairing the mysteriously muted Mac
    The background on the issue is that there’s a small sensor switch inside the headphone port. When you insert a headphone jack, the sensor understands what's what and changes the sound output setting to Headphones. If you insert a jack for digital audio output, the device changes to Digital Out. When you remove the jack completely, it should read Internal Speakers.
    The spirits tell me that there’s a very good chance that you recently had something jacked into this port—a set of headphones or a cable leading to powered speakers, for example. When you removed the jack, something in the port prevented the sensor from tripping correctly. That’s why you see Digital Out instead of internal Speakers.
    The solution is to force the sensor to do its job. The safest way to do that is to simply run a jack in and out of the port a few times. Much of the time, this takes care of the problem by correctly tripping the sensor. If that doesn’t work, there may be gunk in the port. Before turning to more invasive techniques, get a can of compressed air, attach the small tube that fits the nozzle, and blast a few shots of air into the port. With any luck, that should dislodge the gunk and the port will operate as it should.
    If that doesn’t work, find a foam-tipped swab that fits (electronics shops generally carry them), dip it in rubbing alcohol, and gently insert it into the headphone port in an attempt to wipe away any stubborn gunk. I recommend foam rather than cotton swabs because the cotton variety might leave threads behind. (This same technique works well with misbehaving headphone ports on devices such as iOS devices.)
    It's possible that gunk has nothing to do with it. Rather, it may be that the switch just needs a subtle nudge. If a jack or swab doesn't work, I've heard of people successfully resetting it with a deft poke of a toothpick.

  • Use both laf project and Jcalendar?

    Hi,
    I have a problem when using some java beans in Forms 10gR2 with JRE 1.4.x.
    I can't seem to make both the LaF AND the JCalendar work on the same form. I can use them separately and it all works fine, but when they're on the same Form, there's only one of them working.
    And it all seems to be related to the position in the object tree of Forms. Whichever bean comes first (the higher one in the tree) gets activated and the other doesn't.
    Did anyone manage to make them both work in the same form?

    Yes there is, sorry I forgot to look at the console since I've been using JRE...
    And it made me notice I made I mistake when saying I was using JRE 1.4.x also.

    If I put the calendar bean first in the object tree, then it's the laf classes signer information that are not recognized. Having seen this, I just signed my 3 .jar files once again with the same certificate and I still get this message.... The .jar files are

  • I lost utilities icon on both my iPad and my wife's iPad mini is there a way to recover them.

    How do I recover lost utilities icon.

    You are taking about a folder that got destroyed when you updated.
    Tap and hold down on an icon unti it wiggles, then drag that icon onto another icon and that creates a folder. You can move other apps into that folder. When you are done organizing and naming the folder, tap the home button.
    When you created the folder it was automatically named utilities by the iOS becuse of the apps that were stored inside of it.

  • I have lost my songs from both by Ipod and my Itunes library but they are still purchased according to the Itunes store so I cant rebuy/re download them straight from iTunes, Can I get them back?

    I have recently restored my Windows laptop to factory settings in a successful attempt to speed it up but this resulted in my laptop login account being deleted as well as my iTunes library that was linked with it so since I couldnt use that account I decided to make a new iTunes library on my new laptop login then when I tried to get the songs on my iPod on to my iTunes library I lost all of the songs on my iPod so I no longer have any of my songs anywhere that I can see but when I tried to redownload my songs from the iTunes store it just says purchased next to every album/song so I can't redownload anything so the only way that I can think of to retrieve them is downloading them from , it there anyway that I can retrieve my songs?

  • No thumbnails in iMovie projects and timeline

    When I import any move in iMovie '09, iMovie shows message that it's creating thumbnails (when it's finishing importing video file). But in the end I see only gray rectangles instead of thumbnails, both in project and in the timeline panes. Thumbnail is shown only when I move mouse cursor over each particular thumbnail. As soon as I move cursor away, only gray rectangle is shown again. I cleaned cache, installed QT7, nothing helps to solve situation... Any suggestions?

    Try deleting iMovie's preference file. Close iMovie, then in Finder navigate to your user folder Library>Preferences. Locate and trash the file named "com.apple.iMovie8.plist". When next opened, iMovie will create a new preference file with the default settings. You may need to change some settings to suit your own preference. To do this, in iMovie's menu go to iMovie>Preferences and in the window that opens select your preferences under each of the tabs.
    Trashing the preference file may help when iMovie is behaving oddly and is usually the first troubleshooting trick to try.

  • CC2014 Wont play and has lost sequences and clips

    I would really appreciate help! I have googled but not found any help!
    I have been using Premiere for almost 2 years now and loved the fact that I can subscribe and do updates as they come out. I have setup a "template" with certain parts the same each time (Intro, Outro etc). I edit Safari videos with different sequences for the parts that change each time (arrival, safari, dinner etc different clients), unfortunately I have not figured out a way to save a project with just the footage being used so it uses clips from old projects in different folders. I had to buy an external hardrive as my internal hardrive is too full. I saved all the folders onto the external hardrive. When I opened a project it will say missing media, this is not a problem as once I have located the file it updates everything (after about 3 searches). Great.
    But since I update to CC 2014, I am experiencing the following issues:
    Projects (from previous version) have lost their sequences in the project window - only the main sequence has remained (which I named MASTER)
    Certain clips are now missing in the sequence (just gone, not even a block with "missing media")
    Premiere usually does not always play, sometimes I have to restart and reload projects a few times before it will play (I have tried both the spacebar and the play button on the project monitor)
    The ` does not maximize the window anymore!
    I tried to maximize a window by clicking on "Maximize panel group" on the menu button of the Sequence Header - my MASTER SEQUENCE disappeared!! No amount of Undo could help
    It seems that the new "Improved" 2014 version is full of bugs, and this happens just when I have some deadlines! I have tried updating from the CREATIVE CLOUD interface but it loads the update up to 50% and then says Update Failed (after numerous efforts)
    Could someone please advise.

    They are songs that are stored on the iCloud. You will have to connect to WiFi or use cellular to download them. If she is traveling, she might consider stopping at fast food restaurant for a few minutes and connect to their free WiFi to download her songs.

  • My husband and I both have iphones and share the same apple id. Everything was working fine until I synced his phone which lost all his contacts and pictures and gave him my info. I then used verizon's contact retreival app and got his contacts back

    My husband and I both have iphones and everything was ok until I synced his phone and lost all his contacts and pixs. I downloaded verizon's contact retreival app and got his contacts back but now his contacts keep overwriting mine. I can sync my phone and get my contacts back but within a few hours, his show up again. We use the same apple id for purchases. What can I do?

    Are you sharing the same iCloud account (in Settings>iCloud)?  And do you both have Contacts turned to On in Settings>iCloud?

  • TS1398 Updated to ios6 now lost all wifi connection both iPad and iPhone no longer connects to wifi

    Updated to ios6 now lost all wifi connection both iPad and iPhone no longer connects to wifi

    not much response in here which surprises me...
    Anyway... AS I am still looking for answers, I will share a couple of points that I realised...
    in Airport Utility, I noticed that my iphone MAC address was actually showing as client connected, despite my phone network showing the spinning wheel next to the network name for ever and never actually connecting.
    I am currently testing the router mode in Network to be on DHCP and NAT mode with a range from .2 to .200
    My phone is now connected....
    Everything seems to be ok and happy so far...
    strange that this router and phone have worked together for at least a couple of years, the phone works everywhere else, and all other toys connect to my WIFI just fine. the list is as follow:
    airport extreme
    Zeppelin air
    2x apple tv
    2 ipads
    iphone 4s
    2 mac
    1 pc
    I have litterally just hard reset the router with a pin just now as a last resort... same...
    I will leave the router as DHCP & NAT until a potential firmware or OS update...

  • Using project libraries for both web-based and AIR applications

    I need to develop substantial code to build both web-based and AIR applications.  Yes, they will have different features, especially when it comes to accessing files on the local file system.
    However, 98% of the code can be shared.
    I want to use a project library that can be used for both types of applications. Maybe using conditional compile when required to not use AIR API's in a web-based application.
    I found this (somewhat old) warning:
    Include Adobe AIR libraries Select this option if your library must use AIR features, such as access to the AIR APIs. Flex Builder then changes the library path of this new Flex Library project so that it includes airglobal.swc and airframework.swc. Web-based Flex projects cannot use this library.
    Do not select this option if you are writing a generic library intended to be used only in a web-based Flex application, or in either a web-based or AIR-based application.
    Does this apply to Flash Builder 4.5?

    I have found a workaround, but it's quite clumsy, involving a transfer vector (in old-fashioned terms) in the main application for each function in the AIR library.
    I have created a library for AIR classes only (fourdtext.fileOperations is there). 
    The AIR application provides "Function" values that any other code in the general-purpose libraries can use.
    It works, but it's nasty.
    In Main.mxml:
    import com.fourdtext.fileOperations.AxFiles;
    // this gets a list of native path strings, from and array of "File" objects
    public var AxGetListFunction:Function = AxGetListRedirect;
    private function AxGetListRedirect(list:Array):Vector.<String>{
        return AxFiles.AxGetList(list);
    In general-purpose code:
    var list:Array = event.dragSource.dataForFormat("air:file list") as Array;
    var AxGetList:Function = FlexGlobals.topLevelApplication.AxGetListFunction;
    listFiles = AxGetList(list);

  • Workflow for creating one project that can be burned to both Blu-ray and standard DVD?

    Hi,
    I have a 20 minute project and I'm creating a simple single menu with a play button. I'd like to create it once and be able to burn both a 1080p Blu-ray and a standard DVD. Is this possible?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Let me explain how transcoding works for DVD and Blueray.
    Encore transcodes the files separately for DVD and Blueray and once the transcode is done and status shows transcoded the options for transcoding are greyed out, this means you have already transcoded the file and you cannot transcode again without reverting to original.
    For example you have blueray selected in project settings and you click transcode now from project panel the files will be transcoded for blueray, but after transcoding if for any reason you decide to change the transcode settings and transcode the asset again with different settings you have to revert to original.
    But in this case when you want to transcode the assets for DVD you don’t need to revert to original and loose the transcoding done for blueray. You can change the project settings from blueray to DVD after that you will be able to transcode for DVD without losing the transcoded files for blueray.

  • Can I import both from NSTC and PAL cameras in one project?

    Hi there.
    I have a question.
    I am going to start on a project, a music video, and import video footage recorded from a SONY HVR-Z7U in America, that is 29.97fps NSTC.
    I'm also going to film in Europe, with a Canon HV30, that is PAL.
    So I wonder if there will be any problems importing both HD NSTC and HD PAL footage to a project? Or how should I do.
    I have already opened a 1080i30(60) HD project in CS4 and started playing with the NSTC footage. Is it correct?
    Thank you

    Why not shoot a trial clip in PAL and test it in your project?

    hi i have just completed an imovie project and tried to save a hard copy on the desktop so i dragged the project file from the home page then movies folder and now the prioject seems to be lost , how can i get it back ?

    It's a Finder feature, related to Quick Look. You can hit the space bar in the file list to get a preview.
    If that doesn't work, you may have an issue witha  preference file or similar. I find rebuilding the launch databse works quite well resilving tis kind of thing, as does trashing Finder preferences

  • Project and sequence fps lower than 10 in CS4?

    Howdy all - wondering if anyone has discovered a way to work with footage that has a frame rate less than 10 fps in premiere pro cs4?  it would be tremendously helpful.  I'm doing tutorial recording at work and typically the vids are coming in at 8fps.  I've gone as far as trying to hand edit the sequence preset XML and have gotten it to display 8fps, but when I select that preset and open premiere pro, it snaps back to 10fps.  seems to be a hard coded minimum.  It's not a dealbreaker but just doesn't match my footage at all and makes it so it can't natively exist in my sequence without constant rendering of the timeline.
    any ideas?
    thanks in advance

    If you follow David Brewer's advice and use the DVD preset you will also need to mux the audio in MPEG Streamclip. Compressor's DVD preset assumes you're going to an authoring program with the out put and gives you elementary streams. You need to use both the audio and video elementary stream presets in the Disc Burning folder in your target. Output them to a destination folder. Make sure the mv and AC3 files have the identical names before the extension. Drag the video file into STreamclip and the audio should accompany it as well. Save as MPEG with MP2 audio and the extension will change to MPEG.
    I assume it's an SD file. If so, you might be OK with the quality; but it's a very low rate for broadcast.
    Good luck.
