FCP wont let me save my project!
I’ve been working on this project for over a month and never had this problem.
I believe for the first hour of editing today i didn’t have the problem either. within the last hour I am not able to save my project to my drive, scratch media, or the desktop.
I have 2 projects open and can’t save either one to my drive. I am able to save other files including a photoshop file.
Whats going on hear! I’d like to keep editing, and I’m afraid to close FCP and loose a few hours of work that I did today!
thanks!!

When I have this problem Im usually able to save a copy of the project to
a different drive. Like an external drive if the project is located internally
or vice versa. Not the desktop.
Then I move it back to it’s original location after restarting.-Andy

The error message I get is “operation not allowed.” I’ve tried renaming and saving and saving to different drives and the desktop. Still no luck!!
What can I do?!

Can you export an XML of the project?

Try making a new, empty project. Copy just your current timeline into it. Then try to “save as..” Might work. Failing that, try the same thing, but copy the contents of your timeline into a new, empty timeline in the new project, then try saving.

Nice it worked! Thanks matt. That would have really sucked…

This process worked for me as well, Thanks so much! This one had me really stumped!

FCP crashed in the middle of the copy process on my side… c’est la vie, I didn’t lose too much work.
Out of curiosity: if I copied my sequence out to a new project, saved it, then moved it back to the original, what effect would this have on exporting an edl, if any?

worked for me too. *thank you!* 🙂
