Corrupt project file. Can’t copy from it.
So to keep my project full of scenes manageable (I’m re-evaluating what’s manageable in FCP) I’ve been throwing my completed scenes into a new project. That one has gotten up to 133MB. Now when I try to drag a folder or even a clip out of it, I get the beach ball hangup. My assistant deleted a big chunk from it, exported xml and reimported it and got a warning report:
Errors Found Importing…
Required elementhas a value that is out of range. Resulting definition may not behave corrrectly.( line 65535)
[repeated four times]Any thoughts?

What about the AUTOSAVES of that file? Will they work? Or same issue?
One think you can try is to have the media drive NOT mounted when you open the project and drag the sequence where you want it. Then quit FCP…mount the drives…launch that project. You most likely will have to RECONNECT, but it should work.

Hey Shane,
Looks like the autosaves are causing the same hanging when I try to pull something out of them- even back when the size was 80MB. And while opening the project with the Media drive offline is much faster (I’m working on my laptop for another two weeks till I go down to LA) it still has the same crash.
My assistant seems to be able to pull from a randomly abridged project (deleting a bunch of the folders within)… But he’s going to hit the corrupt part of it soon, I’m sure.Brian Berdan

Perhaps you have some corrupt media in the project. I have seen that cause nightmare problems with projects not opening, saving…..
Take a look in your capture scratch and render folders and see if you have an insanely large .mov or render. If you find any try playing it back in QT Player.
If this is a complex project I’m sure this could be a daunting task, but if there is a piece of corrupt media or a bad render file linked in the project, deleting the bad media can bring an otherwise dead project back to life.
