  • Damn autosave stops working and I’m pissed

    I just lost over an hour of editing work because FCP X had stopped saving my edits for some reason. This isn’t the first time it happens; the telltale sign is when the undo feature stops working. I’ve read about others being hit with the same bug. After quitting FCP X and relaunching it, autosave and undo were still not working. I had to quit FCP X again and relaunch multiple times for it to start working properly.

    Any idea of what might be causing this? I like the design of FCP X but I’ve been avoiding using it for anything major because of instabilities like this.

    Have you upgraded to 10.0.1?
    Are you on OS 10.7.1?

    This happened once to me but it was around the first week.
    Now during FCPX time, I will check the dates on my Events and Project files to see if its updating.
    Now since that first time, I havent ran into that problem.

    I upgraded to 10.0.1, but I am still on Snow Leopard.

    By the way, it happened again, I just lost another 30 minutes of work. I can’t believe this!

    Have you tried to duplicate your project when you notice that the Undo feature isn’t working (before quitting)? This is not a solution to why autosave isn’t working for you, but it may help prevent you from losing work each time it does.
