Corrupt project file
Hi there guys.
I have been editing a project for 3 years, and have just lost 3 months of the work due to swapping a file between FCP 4.5 on PANTHER & FCP6 on LEOPARD.
The file was created under FCP 4.5 on PANTHER, and successfully opened and SAVED on FCP6 on LEOPARD.
Then by mistake some changes were made under FCP 4.5 again, now the thing wont open anyway (autosave files deleted)
Is there anyway that anyone here could edit the FCP file in text edit or something to make it work.
Any help would be incredible!
Thanks

Have you tried opening the project from the AUTOSAVE VAULT? I’m sure you already know this, if you update your project to FCP 6 it will no longer open in FCP 4.
Sounds like you have FCP 4 & 6 loaded on your machine? or are you working between 2 machines?

Have FCP 4.5 on Panther & FCP 6.0 on Leopard.
I knew by bringing the project into 6.0, that I would lose backwward compatability, but now it wont even open in 6.0.Any help would be appreciated
(Can send Zipped file)

Issue solved!
For the records:
A very helpful posthouse in Hollywood opened my project on FCP 6.0.3 and exported XML for both FCP4.5 & FCP 6.0
Worked like a charm! (just needed to relink media)

Why do you not have a backup? Do you not backup your Mac on a regular basis? Do you not keep backup copies of things that are important to you?
