Problem with opening final cut studio3 project files

hello, i m using final cut studio 3 and it seems it ocured a problem with the projects
after i work on a project and save it, i can t open it anymore(it apears a dialog box wich it says unable to open project file)
i ve uninstalled final cut, installed again and the problem it s still there
cam you give me an advice about what i can do?
thank you

Uninstalling/reinstalling rarely helps in issues like these and is usually a huge waste of time... It sounds more like a corrupt project than anything. Is FCP able to open other projects?
Hopefully you have Autosave turned on, as that may be your only salvation... So go to your Autosave Vault (usually located in your documents folder, in the Final Cut Pro Documents folder).

Problem with opening Final Cut Pro X

I had just moved the 'Final Cut Pro' folder with the events and projects from movies into my own folder. I also had just added another desktop (Dunno if that is part of the problem).
Since then, when I open FCP, it has a message saying 'The selected location is already in use.' 'The storage location "BlakeHay48" on this computer is already in use by "BlakeHay48" on "Blakes-iMac". To access the location, quit Final Cut Pro on "Blakes-iMac" or remove the location.' I pressed okay and then also found all of my projects and events had gone. I thought at first it could just be because I opened it in another desktop, even though that shouldn't happen, but then when I tried to create a project or an event it would say 'The operation couldn’t be completed. Cannot allocate memory'
Then I realised it could be because I moved the files, so I moved them back, but nothing changed. I have deleted the app and re-installed it, but nothing is working. Can someone please help me?
Thanks-

Thank you so much. Can't believe I didn't think to restart it. Thanks

HT5103 How can I open Final Cut Express project in Final Cut Pro X?

How can I open Final Cut Express project in Final Cut Pro X?

If you export the project from FCE you can import the QuickTime into FCP. You can do limited work to it like adding titles.

Can't Open Final Cut - "Waveform Cache Files Folder does not have read/....

I am new to Final Cut and macs, so please bear with me.
I have created an animation in Final Cut pro (5) using stills. The project takes up a lot of space, which is why I have moved the 'Final Cut Documents' file onto my external hard drive. However, I relocated/reconnected the project files when I next opened the project and all was peachy.
Last night when I had the project open I got errors about not being able to save the project. This was my first problem, but is now insignificant compared to this new problem this morning:
I cannot open Final Cut. I have an error saying 'The Waveform Cache Files Folder does not have read/write access. Please select a new folder in the System Settings Dialog or correct the problem on disk'. Final Cut then proceeds to shut down, so I cannot change any user settings within the program.
I have made all Final Cut folders read/write as well as my external hard drive and anything else with Final Cut on it. It still presents this warning.
A final confession: last night in (I think?) User Preferences I changed some of the settings to my external hard drive (I'm not even sure what settings...I just checked boxes next to the Hard Drive and unchecked a box next to the laptop drive), hoping it would just save the project to it, rather than on my laptop. This may have contributed to this new problem...maybe not.
PLEASE HELP...this animation is due Monday.

Thanks for your reply - it sounds like it will work, but I can't delete one of (yes, I made multiple copies, but have been able to delete the others) the Waveform Cache Folders as it comes up with the error "The operation cannot be completed because one or more required items cannot be found. (Error code -43)." Is this the cause of my problems? How do I fix it?

Problem with my Final Cut express HD's livetype & soundtrack programs

Hi everyone, hope someone could help me
In 2006 i but my Final cut Express HD for my laptop Macbook. I have used a lot, it always worked.
I haven't used it this year and the only new thing a did to my laptop was installed the snowleopard software is now 10.6.8. But yesterday, i try to save a project in my LIVETYPE and SOUNDTRACK (programs that come with the Final Cut Express HD) it automatically close up deleting everything and appear a window saying: that quit unexpectedly and push reopen and repeat the error over and over again.
the program (Livetype and Soundtrack) opens and are install perfectcly but it doesn't let you save or export anything it automatically close it up.
Final cut is the only one that let you save projects.
I have install and uninstall it many time and it still doesn't work.
I will like to know what happens? and how can i fix it?!
Thank you so much
best regards
isabella

But in the end everything is install perfectly but it repeat the same problem when i try to save a project in livetype or soundtrack but not in final cut. This is what appears in my screen:
Thanks again!

Open Final Cut Pro project in Logic Pro for audio editing

I want to open a Final Cut Pro project i'm working on into Logic Pro without having to export my large FCP projects to video all the time. Is there any way of doing this?

Thanks for replying to my question, I did mean Logic Pro but I'm relatively new to these programs. What's the difference with Soundtrack Pro and Logic Pro exactly? If I understood you correctly, Logic Pro would be the program I need since I need to create audio from scratch. Just to be more clear again, I want to see my video while composing audio at the same time but without having to export my video all the time since it takes long, being a big file. Thanks again for the reply.

Problems with opening Acrobat Pro 9 PDF files

Hi. We use Acrobat Pro 9.0.0 to convert our product documentation Word files into PDFs. During the last weeks our customers report more and more problems with opening these files. We usually deliver those on a DVD with Acrobat Reader 5 or another older version. (Please don't ask me why we're still on these old versions!) Did anyone experience similar problems with Acrobat Pro 9 PDF files and older versions of the Acrobat Reader? Does Acrobat Pro 9.0.0 work smoothly with the newest Acrobat Reader 9.1 download?
Please post your comments. Thx a lot - Kay

I would recommend distributing higher version of Reader as version 5 is just too old but looks like you can't go there.
Acrobat 9 PDFMaker and Adobe PDF printers by default create PDF 1.5 compaible files. PDF 1.5 compatible files can be opened only in Acrobat 6 and above. That's probably the reason why your customers can't see the contents.
What you can do is to change your conversion settings to produce PDF 1.4 compatible files:
- In Word, select Acrobat tab or Adobe PDF menu (depending on your version of Word), select Settings
- Select "advanced settings" in the dialog that comes up
- Choose compatibility as "Acrobat 5", PDF 1.4
IF you print to Adobe PDF printer, you'll find a similar setting in the print dialog.

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.

Extract Metadata from Final Cut Pro Project files...

We're currently scanning our project directory (running great by the way), but I'm curious - Is there a way for Final Cut Server to extract metadata from the XML. Timecode info, titling, descriptions, etc and tag that info to the final cut project within FC Server?
That would be great!
Ryan

Hello!
I was just told by Apple (several hours ago), that it's a bug which happens on some Final Cut Servers. They said that the engineering team is looking into it.
The tech guy had me open the project in Final Cut (directly, not with FC Server involvement), then go up to File, Export, Export as XML. Then, he had me look within Final Cut Server and then it would let me checkin/out, etc. He said that it's a bug they're working on.
I hope it gets fixed soon! I need it fixed in order to do what we plan on doing.

How to save a final cut X project file to a dvd for future editing

How do I save a project to a dvd so that if I want that footage again sometime, I can open it in Final cut X and be able to work with it.
Is this a smart way to keep projects, or should I continue filling up externals with saved projects?
I am working with HD footage.
Some guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Rick

I think you should be able to just burn the Project and Event folders onto the disc, and then when you need to work with them, copy them back to a hard disc and carry on.

Open Final Cut 6 projects in previous versions

I just upgraded to FCP 6. Is there any way to exchange a project with someone using FCP 5? Is there a way to "save down" to a previous version? Thanks!

#45 - Opening projects with older versions of FCP
Shane's Stock Answer #45 - How to export your project to work with earlier versions of Final Cut Pro.
Versions of Final Cut Pro aren't backwards compatible. So a project created with FCP 6 cannot be opened with FCP 5...and this even goes into the dot-updates as well. A project created with FCP 5.1.4 cannot be opened by FCP 5.1.1.
Nope, for this you need to use XML. Export your sequence as an XML sequence and import that in the other version of FCP. XML v3 if for FCP 5.1 4 and FCP 6. XML v2 is for FCP 5.0, and XML v1 is for FCP 4.5. So if you need to go from FCP 6 to FCP 5.0.4, you'd use XML v2.
Just to expand on the thought...

I'm having problems with my final cut! HELP!

When I try to open my final cut express on my macbook 2.0Ghz it always tells me that I need a AGP graphics card. I have no idea what to do. Please help.
-Macky wacky

It's telling you that you are running an non-intel version of the software. Time to upgrade to the Universal Binary version - FCE 3.5 I believe.
I could be wrong as this is the Final Cut Pro forum but, the issue is similar.

Can Final cut pro open final cut express projects

I have a FCE project and I used my 7D shot at 24p. So I converted the files so I can edit them in FCE. But I found out that FCE timeline only edits at 29.97fps. I was wondering can I open a FCE project in FCP so I can edit in true 24p?

I have FCE 4 and I will be opening it with FCP 6 so that should open fine I assume? and I have already started my editing on that project but I would like to able to finish it up in FCP while taken advantage of editing in 24p, thats possible right?

Problems with opening Canon 1ds III .CR2 files in CS 3

I have just purchased Photoshop CS3 student edition. However, when I try to open .CR2 files from my Canon 1ds III, a message stating that Photoshop "could not complete my request as it is not the right kind of document" appears. Whilst I can get round this by saving from DPP (which does not allow me to transfer the .CR2 files directly to Photoshop) as TIFF, this is quite slow.
Has anyone experienced a similar problem? Help on finding a cure would be much appreciated.

Stephen,
Make sure you've got the latest version of Camera Raw. The package you have is probably compiled before the Mk3 was out.

Can't open Final Cut Pro

Can anyone help me resolve a problem with opening Final Cut. I get the message "The application Final Cut Pro quit unexpectedly". I've tried using the FCP Rescue utility as well as tried to reinstall the software (though setup didn't give me an option to reinstall).
Is there a way I can uninstall the software without losing any files and reinstalling from scratch. Any suggestion would be helpful.
Thanks,
Commaleta

MichaelG's question of what shows up on the splash is important... maybe it's trying to load an AE plugin that isn't compatible -- find that one and remove it from the plugin folder...
however -- not sure this helps YOU at THIS time but...
Here's what I like to do (short of a full reinstall) when FCP crashes:
When FCP Quits...
Do these in order and you might not have to do them all:
1) Trash Preferences FCPRescue - http://fcprescue.andersholck.com/
2) Repair Permissions - DiskUtility
3) Type this in your terminal window (without the quotes) and hit enter: "sudo update_prebinding -root / -force"
4) Unplug everything and wait
5) Create New User
Good luck,
