  • 5.1.2 autosave files won’t open in 5.1.2

    Here’s an interesting one…

    In trying to open the most recent autosave of a 5.1.2 project today, the computer said the document is a newer version and can’t open it! I tried 10 or so autosaves and they all got the same response. Odd.

    I’ve seen something similar. How have you been trying to open the autosaves? If from within fcp try just opening it from the finder (without fcp running) When I had it I had to open up the autosave and replace the ‘real’ project file. Keep in mind that the autosaves are just project files that fcp ‘keeps an eye on’.
    Hope it helps.
