Events and Projects Librarys Missing in FCPX (but folders and videos in finder exist)

[John Smith]

Here you go

[Jeremy Garchow]

Great.

Now twirl open “Original Media”

[John Smith]

Roger!

[Jeremy Garchow]

OK. Things are looking alright there.

Give me a screen shot of your “movies” folder.

Is there any media in all those Events marked “New Event…”

[John Smith]

Hi
My Movies folder is already above (just below the screen shot of FCPX)

Each of the NEW EVENT folders just has a single
CurrentVersion.fcpevent
file in them

So each time I start up FCPX it seems to create a new Event for some reason.

Wasn’t sure if that was all of it or not. Thank you.

Most of those aren’t showing up either, even though they were created yesterday. Quit FCP and trash them from your Finder.

Have you tried to delete and reinstall FCPX yet? There’s something fishy going on here.

Are you on Lion?

Also, do you have an external drive?

Are you on Lion? (NO, SNOW LEOPARD 10.6.8)

Also, do you have an external drive? (NO)

The only Event that is showing up in your FCP Browser is the one created today. The ones dated yesterday are not showing up.

Have you tried Preferences Manager yet?

[John Smith] “Quit FCP and trash them from your Finder. (IVE DONE THIS MANY TIMES)”

So why are they still there? I am specifically talking about the folders named “New Event…”

[John Smith]

Hi there
When I delete the Events in FINAL CUT EVENTS FOLDER

named for instance
New Event (followed by) Date

the next time I start up FCPX again its just creates a New Event Folder each time called

New Event (followed by) Date

for each time I start up FCPX

Yes, I have tried deleting preferences manually and have also used the App Preferences Manager.

[Jeremy Garchow]

Since you dont hsve an extetnal drive to test, the next thing I would do us make a “Final Cut Events Inactive” and “Final Cut Projects Inactive” folder and drag the events and projects in to those folders appropriately, with FCPX closed of course.

I would then delete FCPX, and then reinstall it from the app store.

Then move just one event in to the final cut events folder and launch FCPX.
