Cannot save changes to events or projects
I’m working from my MBP for the remainder of the week with a 1TB external media drive attached.
I created a new transition in Motion and published it to FCPX. When I CMD+Tab to FCPX I get this dialogue:
All my media is on my external scratch drive which has more space than I can think of, at the moment! All the events and projects are on this drive also. Doing a CMD+I I’m being informed that there is more than 600gigs of free space on the drive.
This is the second time this sort of thing has happened in the last couple of days. I’m wondering if there is possibly a conflict between FCPX 10.0.6 and Motion 5.0.5?
Can anyone please suggest how a) this could be happening and b) how it can be resolved other than quitting and starting FCPX and Motion and the whole shooting match, again?
Flustered but willing to learn,
Lawrence

Believe it or not this has less to do with X and more to do with your system. Somewhere one of the drives you’re using either locally or networked is not authorized to be written to by you the currently logged in user. To resolve this try:

Since I’ve started to use FCP X, I’ve had an external RAID become unusable twice. The first time I took the drives and out and re-built and it was then fine for awhile. The 2nd time, I bought and ran Disk Warrior, repaired permissions and have not had a problem since as I run DW about every month or two. By repairing the directory structure, it also fixed some misc. issues on my start drive.

So I ran Disk Utility – clear as a bell.
Even went so far as to start in safe mode and everything was A-OK.
Tried and ran Disk Warrior on the drives – same result
Then thought, I’ll go one step higher – “Recovery Disk”! Set Disk Utility on the job from that partition and the results were conclusive: nothing wrong with your drives.So I’m restarting and heading out into the wild blue digital wonder to see if it was just a hiccup not an implosion.
Many thanks for the suggestions. I’m foxed for sure.

Do you have “Ignore Permissions on this Volume” clicked on for your external drive?

Bill,
Tried that too and it wasn’t checked. I’m plumbing for a combo of Ghost in the machine and user error. My Motion project was saved and my FCPX project is solid; it was just having to restart, I guess.
Hey, it’s software at the end of the day – trying to cheer myself up.
Regards,
Lawrence
