  • !!!! File error: Unknown volume… on SAVE!!!!

    Posted by Aaron Neitz on June 3, 2005 at 6:21 pm

    I don’t want to lost my last 40 minutes of work…. Final Cut refuses to save my project ANYWHERE. Not on a local drive, not on a network drive, the autosaves are running into the same error. Opened a new project and dragged my sequences across, it won’t save that either.

    First, I’d be willing to bet that you have a slash/ in your file name. Remove it & you’ll be fine. Unix does not like filenames with slashes in them. If you want, you can replace the slash with an underscore_ or a hyphen-.

    Second, you really need to save a lot more often than every 40 minutes. Personally, I reflexively save anytime I get something the way I like it, any time that I decide to go back & try something different, or any time I decide to change gears & move on. Autosave is not a replacement for being careful & methodical. The people who complain about autosave not working right are always the ones who go hours on end without saving their work.

    Had the same problem – found out that when I had Apple works open and had printed or saved a document
    then went back to FCP I could not save to the internal drive – Workround save as to another drive close FCP
    re-open FCP then overwrite you existing poject.

    Do not open Apple Works whilst FCP is open.

    Hope this helps
