Can’t open my movie file…i think it’s some technical problem

[Enzo Tedeschi]

Could be a corrupt project file – try looking in your Autosave Projects folder and opening up one of the more recent ones. It may not be 100% up to date, but it may save you some time getting back to where you are.

And if you can free up space it’s always a good idea. If you’ve been working on this machine up until now, I doubt it’s your processing power.

I tried the autosave vaults…and I had the same problem

[Don Greening]

Can you start a new project by just starting from the program icon? If so then choose a new scratch disc location and quit FCP. Rename your current project’s scratch disc folder something else just so FCP will not be able to find it during startup. Restart FCP by using the program icon, not your project icon. When FCP starts, open your project. When aksed, reconnect your media by following the on screen instructions. Depending on how FCP reacts to each media file when connected you may have to recapture one or more media files. There also may be a corrupted render file that’s stopping the launch process. In that case, instead of trying to find the offending file it’s usually much easier to just trash ALL your render files and let FCP re-render everyhing.

Please post back if you need more help.
