Activity Forums Apple Final Cut Pro Legacy Auto Save working intermittently

  • Auto Save working intermittently

    Posted by Adamd on October 23, 2007 at 10:46 am

    We are running Final Cut Studio 1 and I am having slight issues with the autosave where it is set for 10 minutes but when I check the vault it seems to be saving roughly every 30 mins.

    I have expanded the number of autosaves and reset the location.

    All I am doing is viewing and selecting rushes . I do not have capture open or anything renderring.

    Anyone got a clue why not every 10 mins. Have worked on the new quad core studio 2 and that saves perfectly.

    Thanks

    Adam

    The first thing to always try is to Quit FCP, Restart the Mac, Open your FCP project and try again.

    Next:
    THE FOLLOWING COMES FROM THE KEN STONE WEBSITE:
    “Over 5,000 years ago Confucius wrote: ‘If you are toiling away, you have changed nothing and FCP heads South on you, [starts behaving in strange ways] then it is time to trash your FCP Preferences.’ ”

    Click the following link for instructions.

    https://www.kenstone.net/fcp_homepage/trashing_fcp_prefs.html

    A great way to do this is to use “FCP Rescue” a free Apple Script that will Trash the Preferences for you (and restore nearly all of your user settings afterward).
    There are versions for FCP (Pro) & FCE (Express) and a new one for FCP 5.

    Download these free Apple Scripts at

    or

    This is one FCP tip that has helped in solving hundreds of “odd” problems.
