Project file crashes FCP

I was editing last night saved the project and now it crashes FCP on launch on all our editor, and it's autosaves do the same thing. Other projects open fine. I have tried taking the media offline, restarting etc.

Ok,

Bloated Project Files in FCP

Hi,
I've noticed that project files in FCP tend to become bloated, thus significantly slowing down the editing process, especially when autosave is activated.
EXAMPLE:
1. My project file, project.fcp, has reached 150MB.
2. I copied the old sequences from project.fcp to a new file, backup.fcp, and deleted them in project.fcp.
3. Ironically, the resulting backup.fcp is an even bigger 175MB, while project.fcp remains at the same 150MB.
4. I then copied the entire content of project.fcp to a new file - newproject.fcp.
5. newproject.fcp, which has the EXACT same contents as "project.fcp" is only 42MB.

I have an old project that got very large (300+Mb !) This resulted in frequent crashes and very slow operation.
I trimmed the project down but it was still in excess of 200Mb, but I was able to finish.
I have just been required to edit another couple of sequences from the same material. So I did a "save as" and deleted all but the master clips I needed. The project size was still 239 Mb.
I had removed all of the old sequences and there were very few render files, which I deleted.
I then made a new project and tried to drag the master clip folders across. My MBP crashed each time. (17in with 4Gb memory)
I then in a new project cut and pasted the required clips with success.
The project now contains the same clips as previously, but is now only 2.6 Mb.
Can any one explain that?

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.

File Crashing FCP - Can import from different tape brand be at fault?

I always use Sony Premium mini DV tapes and import my video through my Sony DSR-11 miniDV deck into FCP.
I was recently handed a Fujifilm miniDV tape. The video imported fine. But once I dragged it to the timeline, rendering any transitions or filters caused big gray boxes to appear on the video. Sound also fell. I was able to make it work - but the exported file retained the boxes at different places each time I exported.
Now the file doesn't open at all and it crashes FCP. All other files on my system still open and export fine except for this one.
My question is 1. whether the change of tape brand can cause the import to go haywire.
and 2. Is there any way I can open this file? I trashed preferences and restarted with no luck.
Any suggestions ar emuch appreciated. Thanks!

I've never had the same experience, so this is purely speculation.
Changing brands used in the same camcorder has been reported as the cause of recording & playback problems. But, since the playback from the DSR was okay, I'm guessing the brand isn't the problem.
Could be the camcorder settings don't match your FCP settings?
What if you copied the Fuji tape to Sony tape in your camcorder. That way you would have control of both the tape and the camcorder settings.

Can't open FCP 6 project file in FCP 7

Just upgraded to FCP 7 and have been working on a project for sometime in 6. Just tried to open the project file and i get the error "This project is unreadable or may be too new for this version of Final Cut." Is there an update or fix for this? Luckily I can open on a friend's computer that is still running 6, but I thought it would upgrade project files with no issue. Can anyone recommend something? Thanks!

try opening on your friends computer and exporting an xml file and importing that into fcp7.

AVCHD files crashing FCP using Perian

Hi everyone, I'm wondering if anyone can help with a rather hard to pin down issue.
AVCHD files on a SD card recorded on a Panasonic broadcast camera have started crashing FCP on random file transfers (log and transfer window), say I have 30 clips to transfer, it'll freeze then crash the system on clip 22 but the other clips will be fine.
I have had a look at the report window and it says' Perian has unexpectedly quit' (why the **** are apple using third party software to do the job) and the log is just code to me.
I first suspected the camera an AG HMC151 (150) because I have two so it was easy to just test the other one, but it does it on both.
Then I suspected the cards, it does it on all of them.
So I can only assume it's the macs, of which I have two, both have 10.6.6 and I'm running FCP 6.0.6. they are both about a year old.
Because this is a random problem it's actually rather stressful as this is my living.
If anyone has any good ideas or has experienced this please let me know, I think I have mentioned everything I know and apologise if I have left out some piece of vital info.
Thanks

I've been having the same issue with importing AVCHCD footage from my Sony NXCAM. Through some major digging, I discovered someone else in another forum recommend the program Clip Wrap 2 (which I see someone also recommended above). I downloaded it just now and it works GREAT for creating useable clips. Highlight recommend.

.motn file crashing FCP

I created a Motion project and imported it into FCP 6.0.6 placed it on the timeline and began to render it. I have tried this a few times and all I get is spinning beachball so I have to force quit everytime.
The sequence settings are the same. The .motn project does have quite a lot of information and does need a big render even when RAM previewing in Motion.

Save the project file for Motion.
Export the project file with settings consistent with your FCP sequence settings.
import.
Then you don't have these issues and don't to need to render each time things change in FCP.

Open FCP 6 project files in FCP 5

Hey guys, I've got a client who has FCP 5 and wants to open a project file created in FCP 6. I'm well aware of the incompatibility of the two project files, but is there any way he can access the edit? I know I could do an EDL, but I'm not sure how savvy he is with the program so the easier the process the better. Thanks.

In the FCP 6 project, export an XML file of the project. Use that file to build a NEW project in FCP 5. More details are in the manual.

Can't relink project files in FCP X

I moved some projects and events to a new harddrive (drag and drop not through FCP X like I should have) and now FCP can't find the project files. The event footage all shows up in the library and I can play it, but when I click on the project it says Missing Event. When I right click on the project and try to relink project it doesn't give me any options for missing media to reconnect other than the graphic (see screenshot). If I go to file and click relink event it let's me reconnect to the event files. I know where all the files are, FCP just isn't giving me a way to relink them. HELP!

I'm having the same problem. I am using FCPX 10.1.1. After moving to a usb external hard drive and back, one of my projects has 'unlinked' all the files that are in the timeline and releated to the project, all the other files are ok.
I had copied the event from another hard drive, but it seems the project id now referncing the wrong event in the inspector? Not sure how to change this now. I am not being given the option to modify referenced event?

Project Files crashing AE CC with error message "33 :: 7" & "29 :: 12"

I updated my After Effects CC about 19 hours ago to version 12.2.1.
I'm trying to open a project file I had been working on last week and it's causing After Effects to crash.
A number of error messages pop up. Two of the last ones that appear before the program crashes read:
After Effects error: chunk in file too big - probably unsupported file version. ( 33 :: 7 )
and then
After Effects error: property of type "ADBEPosition_0"had dimension 8193 in file, but we expected 1 (1d17). ( 29 :: 12 )
Any idea on what those messages mean and what I can do to fix the problem.

Okay, now the autosaved version had problems of its own before AE and my computer both crashed. These were the error messages I received:
After Effects error: Crash in progress. Last logged message was: <976> <AsioWDM> <0> The wdm driver appears to have hung, we're going to terminate the callback thread!!
& then this popped up:
After Effects can't continue: sorry, After Effects has crashed. For After Effects Help and Support, go to http://www.adobe.com/go/learn_ae_support. If you still can't resolve the issue, please contact Adobe Technical Support (2).

Substandard renders and .motn projects that crash FCP.

On rendering out video from Motion (first version) I am warned that almost every object on my timeline is 'too large to render and will be cropped'. I'm working on anamorphic D1 projects and some of the objects it is telling me are too large are things like 720x576 video clips and even 16 pixel high caveats with no effects. I can get a render using the 'export' command in Motion but for some reason these are exceptionally jagged and have no sub-pixel supersampling (I've got anti-aliasing turned on but this doesn't help a great deal and the jagged edge are far too obvious to use for broadcast purposes). I'm rendering Uncompressed 4:2:2 and both project and render settings are upper-field first.
I have tried simply importing the .motn projects into FCP which for some reason manages to render objects much smoother than Motion's native renderer - but unfortunately all of the projects contain particle effects which seem to crash FCP every time it comes across them. Going back to Motion to render these sections is no good as it seems to render particle effects with random jumps and missing frames in them.
Any tips for getting decent quality smooth anti-aliased renders from Motion into Final Cut Pro as I'm not having any luck so far and I've got nine television commercials due for delivery Monday morning - yikes!
Any suggestions most welcome!
Cheers,
Tom

Though I realize Motion 2 isn't available as a separate item anymore, it is absolutely worth getting as far as speed and performance.
I remember thinking that on the same hardware it felt like it was 2x as fast.
Definitely check out the linked Motion Smarts article - it's a great explanation or introduction to the specific problems you can have working with a GPU-based FX program like Motion. This stuff matters - if you can master optimizing your projects by design Motion will be a nice addition to your toolbox.

*** Trying to re-connect files crashes FCP

I have a FCP project that my editor has given me on an external HD with all the music on it. The songs need to be re-connected (showing up in the project in white) but when I either try to re-connect them on the timeline or in the browser, FCP crashes. I can't seem to find anyway to re-connect these tracks without FCP crashing. Has anyone had this problem and how did you solve it?
Thanks in advance!

Give us exact specs of the audio files and where they originated.

Can't open FCP 6 project file on FCP 5

FCP says: "can't open a never version file",
so - *is there any possibility in FCP 6 make SAVE AS older version?*
in FCP 5 i can't see any possibility to do that.
maybe there is another way to solve my problem?
thanks!

Hi,
welcome to the forum,
FCP is not backwards compatible.
A solution is to export your project as XML in FCP6 and and import that in FCP5.
Check out the link below or read the clear instructions in the manual:

Receiving General Error when opening Project file in FCP 5.04

Hi to everyone.
I would need a little help. We have 4 Macs running (two G5 and two Laptops). All running with FCP Pro 5.04.
When I create a project on my G5 and open it with my laptop everything runs fine. When I make some edits/renders and save the project and try to open it again, I receive a General Error message.
But on the other two machines the file opens. I have used FCP rescue, trashed also manually the prefs, deleted on the G5 the Render files, made a PRAM zap, used Disk Utility, cleared the Wavecache etc. but no result. The Mediafiles are stored on a LACIE 500 GB. I do work this way since years and never had this before.
Does anybody have an idea ?Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone,
at first thanks for the replies. I tried already the New User account. It's not working and also the Lacie is fine. The problem is more complicating, I guess.
Basically it's funny that the problem starts, when I have already worked in the project. When I set up the project (load picture and sound files all standard formats, Uncompressed picture and Aiff sound) and save the project, it opens simply, when I work in the project, edit, render etc (pluggins are on both machines identicall) and save (after deleting the render files), my machine is the only one who gives General Error.
Funny is that I used FCP since years in the same setup (Desktop-laptop) and never had this. I already trashed even the trash -:)
So I guess that this problem is a really special one, perfect for all Mac Sherlocks to solve -:)
So if anyone has an idea....
Cheers Zolee
