Open and work on FCP project file located at xsan volume

It is recommended by apple to *open and work on FCP project file located at xsan volume*
or we should open , work and save our FCP project file from local drive only .
Is there is risk of corrupting xsan volume if we open FCP project file placed in xsan volume .
where should be the location of FCP project files ??????
Mac pro 2.66 , FCP 6.01, xsan 1.4

Opening a file twice is a indeed a problem. To prevent this, and for numerous other reasons, we use Open Directory. In OD you can configure that a user can login just once (concurrently).
In old versions of xsan it was not recommended to put project files on xsan, but nowadays it works fine.
Putting projectfiles on a san has the advantage that a user can work on any client. If this is not important in your environment these files can be stored locally.

    It should be much easier to re-link in the Pagemaker file, as, with any luck, you can get the filenames from the Graphics Manager.  After conversion to InDesign, any out-of-date linked images get their names converted to something like "image 123.jpg", and are themselves converted to an embedded low res representation of the image.  Even vectored art.  Pretty hard to figure them out, unless you are VERY familiar with the file, which you may be.
    It may be that any cropping gets lost, too?  I do prepress work, we do some set up for our customers, but most comes in pretty much ready to go, so I don't often have to did too deep into fixing such issues. On the other hand, any problem that can happen has probably crossed my desk, or it seems that way some days!

  • Unable to open PC-backed up FCP project files

    Apparently, I made a mistake copying my FCP project files to my PC via network and backing them up on CD-ROM.
    When I copy them back to the MAC, they wont open!
    I performed an "Apple-I" on one of the files and selected open with FCP, but it doesn't!
    I did a quick test:
    I copied one of my existing project files to PC, renamed it and copied it back to the MAC. The icon of the one copied back changed to "Unix Exec". But when I compared the two files contents, they're the same!
    Is there some obscure way to allow my PC-backed up project files to work again?

    What you need to do is give back the Mac OS resource data to the file (that's what got stripped when it went through the PC environment) ... or more specifically, you're reassigning a Type and Creator code.
    Use a utility such as "Type Changer" (it's freeware): http://www.marcrespass.com/software/Type%20Changer.zip
    the Type for a project file should be "FCPF" and the Creator "KeyG" (short for "Key Grip" which was the original name for FCP)
    Thanks to Andy Mees for this...
    If this doesn't work for you, there's a longer more complicated way that might work, but try this first...

  • I updated to Mavericks and realized my FCP project files are not there? Help!

    Someone please help. I had built a new video project the other day and everythying worked fine. However I needed to edit an older job and and went to my library and when I click on the Event, my source files are there but no my project files. On the job I just did recently those projects files are there. I went to my folders where my FCP event and project files are and tried to open one of the "backup" files and that didn't work.

    I'm assuming you've updated your projects and events. If you haven't, you should.
    If the are updated, you should have an event named Updated Projects. Look in there.
    You should access your projects through the app, not the Finder. There is no no longer any such thing as fcpproject files in the new library model.

  • FCP Project Files are Listed as Documents.

    Hey everyone,
    I did a long render last overnight on my MacBook Pro (2007 Generation) and then brought the files to a school computer (MacPro OS 10.6.4) and now the FCP project files are simply 'documents' and cannot be opened with FCP. Am I doomed?

  • FCP Project file won't open

    Hello,
    An FCP project file I worked on this past Friday suddenly won't open. When I try it immediately gives the helpful "general error" message. I tried opening the autosave files as well, with no luck. I tried renaming the project file and manually adding the .fcp extension, but still nothing. I'm not sure why it's doing this, since nothing unusual happened in the last few days. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
    Power Mac G5
    6gb ram, dual 2ghz processor
    FCP 5.0
    Also, does anybody know where I can purchase an unused version of the FCP 5.0 bundle? I can't upgrade because of OS and processor restrictions on my old G5. And I can't buy a newer mac right now. All of my related FCP programs are starting to act buggy, and I don't have the install cds anymore. Any ideas?

    I can't upgrade because of OS and processor restrictions on my old G5
    Huh? According to the requirements for FCP 6, it needs A Macintosh computer with a 1.25GHz or faster PowerPC G4, PowerPC G5, Intel Core Duo, or Intel Xeon processor and Mac OS X v10.4.11 or Mac OS X v10.5.5 or later. How does your computer not fall into this range?

  • FCP project file crashes before even opening

    I am working for a client and using there system which is a G4 iMac running OS 10.4.11 and I am editing using FCP Studio 2, FCP 6.0.4
    The quick is I am trying to open a project which recently has been taking forever to load and just recently crashes Final Cut Pro once it opens, which prevents me to work on it further, I was able to open it once long enough to copy the files into a new FCP project but after I saved and restarted FCP from the new Project folder I got the same result. I have tried going back into my auto save vault and open old files but I get the same result. I am able to open other FCP projects so I don't think it is a problem with FCP but more so with this particular file. ok so maybe that was the long version, please can any one offer any solutions or is all lost?
    thanks

    It slow t load while “Reading Project” this is a photo based project actually its all photos. a time laps of over a month or more taking pictures everyday at approx 1 pic every hour or 30 mins. so I have alot of photos in the FCP project file. this i can understand for the slow loading time. but what is causing the FCP project to crash so often? i did try emptying the preference files but still no luck.

  • HELP! Can't Open a FCP project File, "General Error 41"

    Trying to open a project for a Good guy
    over a barrel, using FCStudio /FCP 5.1 FCP opens,
    then says "General Error 41". All I need to
    do is create an SD Version DVD, But first
    I Gotta open it.
    G5   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    Since this is your friend's FCP project file, check to see if he/she has version 5.1.1 or above.
    I think the project file is from a newer format.
    For some reason, the bump from FCP 5.1 to 5.1.x was big enough to require the project files to be a different format.
    If that is the case, (and if you want to take the chance on the unknown,) you can upgrade to the version your friend has (or above.)
    Make sure you really want to upgrade and are prepared for all the potential problems!

  • I have a new IMAC with a Maverick platform (I can update to Yosemite). I did all graphics on a G5 Power PC (very old), in Freehand (very old)... How can I open old Freehand files on this new Mac? Can I still open and work in Freehand on this new Mac?

    Let me see if I've gotten this right! You want to remove an account from BOTH machines? Do this for your new machine first, then for the other.
    Click the Apple logo on the top left of the screen, System Preferences, Users and Groups (under Systems), unlock the lock in the window if its locked (you need to know the password), select the user that you wish to remove, and click the - sign next to the + sign for Login options. A window will pop up with some options. Select Delete this user and securely, and click 'Delete user'.
    After this, do an update from the App Store.
    Thats all there is to it.
    For the other machine repeat the process except for one thing. Before you delete the user in this case YOU, you will have to give Administrator priviledges to your son bu checking the box 'Allow user to administer this computer'.
    Do NOT do anything from Finder ... if you dont know how to fix the consequences of the problems caused.
    There is no need to unauthorize your iTunes account on your new machine. Do it on the old machine though.

  • FCS is only deleting my FCP project file and not linked assets. please help.

    When deleting a FCP project from FCS it does not give me the option to delete all linked media. It only deletes the FCP project file leaving me to delete all related media manually. In the user guide it says it should give me the option to delete the project and all files automatically but this doesn't happen on our system. Does anyone know why? and how to turn this function on?

    A bug that will never be fixed.  You have to delete the associated assets manually.

  • Can you open a Final Cut Pro project file (6.0.6) in Final Cut Express (v4)

    I am working on a project in Final Cut Pro (v 6.0.6) and I need to pass it off to a colleague who only has Final Cut Express (v 4). The media in the project is DVNTSC.
    I went to the Apple store at the Stonestown Mall in San Francisco today and they assured me that my colleague would be able to open my FCP project file in his FCE program... but I'm skeptical.
    Can you really open a FCP project file in FCE?
    Could somebody who has both confirm this for me?
    Thanks,
    Sam

    Under very rare circumstances can you open an FCP project in FCE. It almost never works and is not supported by Apple.

  • CF data file missing on FCP project files

    Every time I open a saved project file on Final Cut Pro, it says CF data file missing on my FCP project files. Files seem to be in constant frames folder but all black and not highlighting. suggestions?
    I was saving things on a MyBook studio external HD. I think earlier as I was working or saving on the external HD it disconnected.
    But shouldn't it have all my files still?
    I still see all my project files and capture scratches.
    Any help or suggestions please?

    Hi Michael,
    When I opened the FCP project. It says " CF data file missing CF+ filename here"
    So I looked in my Render Files> Constant Frames folder and the files are in there. I tried to open the movie files and play them. When played, they all play back a black screen/nothing in the file? And some have a blue screen that says" unrendered".
    So I try to search for the file to connect it back to the project, but when I go to th folder and try to select it. It isn't highlighted, so I can't select it. So they aren't missing.
    So I have to press cancel. It seems like I'm not able to edit or work on the FCP project until I have those files connected.
    Thanks for your reply,
    Ingrid
