Project Loading Errors
I’m having trouble opening an FCP 5.1 file. The program loads differently each time I open it, sometimes it freezes right away, others it will load all the way but show a green slug in the right monitor. I’ve had the problem before but have been able to work around it until now. I’ve deleted the plist files, rebooted multiple times, tried everything I could find.
I know the project file is okay because if I eject the drive with the capture scratch and load the file it works fine just without the video clips. I can’t seem to attach the drive after the file has loaded and reconnect media. So I’m thinking I probably have a corrupt capture somewhere. Anyone agree? Is there a solution I’m not thinking of or a way to test for a corrupted file? Thanks for the help!

Yes it can be a corrupted clip. I think that happens to me once and I did as you says. I dragged all the clips from the capture folder to another one and them put them back to the folder in groups of few clips every time and opening the project untill one of the grous started to give problems. Them I put the clips of this group one by one untill I discovered wich was causing me the troubles. But this happes to me once in almost five years using FC. If you find that is not a corrupted clip clean the prefferences and if even like that doesn’t works can be the project what is corrupted. in this case what I do is to open the problematic project and a new one, and I select and drag everything from the brownser of the old project to the new. Anyway whenever a project start to cause problems I try to keep appart one of the AutoSaves generated before the problems appear. Atleasst you recover all the job done untill that moment.
