  Trouble Saving Project File

  Posted by Brodiev on May 30, 2007 at 4:40 pm

  I don’t usually have any problems saving in FCP, but every now and again I recieve this error message: “File: Error Unknown File.” At that point, it will not save in any form or fashion. I can’t even save my project under a different name. Does anyone know what might be causing this error to occur?

  Are you using drives on another machine over a network and ejecting those network drives or shutting down the host machines while FCP is open? Or, are you ejecting firewire drives while FCP is open (even when the drives are not in use by FCP)? Changing the mounted volumes on FCP like this can cause it to get confused when you go to save. Try to avoid the abovementioned issues, and if the error does come up, you should be able to do a “Save As…” to the desktop, and then move your project file to where it is supposed to be.

  We’re running XSAN and that happens to use every so often. We just to what Ben said:
