Could There Be A Bug In the Project File?
PowerMac G4 867MHz
1.5GB RAMM
OSX Tiger 10.4.11
Final Cut Pro 5.1.4OK, so bear with me . .
I posted yesterday about not being able to apply ANY VIDEO FILTERS at all; no color correction, no nothing. I thought maybe it was because I have an older system, and I am kind of as far as I can go with Final Cut versions… maybe even having gone a little past what my system can handle.
OK. . . based on some feedback, I did a little experimenting.
I opened up a brand new project file. . .called it “revised timeline” ; then, I went into the troublesome timeline (where I couldn’t apply any effect). I selected ALL clips in the timeline and copied them; then went into “revised timeline” and pasted everything in.
Can you believe. . .I can apply filters now.
So, what do you think? Did I have a bug in that original project file?
And, am I able to SAFELY WORK exclusively in this new project?
Mind you, I have not imported any of the captured DV into this new project yet. . .do I need to? I ask because I don’t know if I’m going to have any media management issues (you know, offline files or anything like that). I am just astounded that I can do the work in one project, but not the original.
Is there anything I might have done in the original that I do not want to repeat?
Thank you very much, you fellows (and gals) are awesome.

Should add this info, as I would say it is PROBABLY important. . .
I started this project in FCP 4.5, on an external firewire drive. My boot drive crashed and I replaced it; in doing so, I went to FCP 5.0, then through software update, got to 5.1.4
Is my probably related to the fact that this project bridged two versions of FCP?

Hi Glenn,
Projects gets corrupted some times.
When I have this kind of problems, normally I open a new empty project and I select-drag-drop everything from the Browser of the old project to the new one and save it.
Some times just saving the project with a different name is enough.
