Autosave error: file unknown – anyone had this error before?
usually happens when I leave the machine for a while and the system tries to autosave.
I have to hit enter to get rid of the error (using mouse doesn’t work).
I can then hit apple+s to save as per normal.
there has been 2 occasions where when hitting apple+s still brings up the error, and I have had to save to a new file name.. but that hasn’t happened in a whlie.

I had this kind of thing happen to me once in awhile in FCP 4.5 before I upgraded to FCP 5.0.4. It usually occurred when I had a large project open and left it idle for a long period of time, like overnight. Closing the project and FCP, restarting the computer, and then reopening the project in FCP seemed to set everything back to normal. I suspected some cache files FCP 4.5 was using were going corrupt over time, but that’s just a theory. Eventually I got into the practice of not leaving FCP open overnight, and even restarting the whole system and software at least twice daily. Any time FCP began doing something it wasn’t supposed to do or acting strange was a cue for me to shut down and restart. See my previous posts for more details.
Like i said, this was under FCP 4.5. No problems like this under FCP 5 so far.
