FCPX crashed, lost all edits!?!?
I was doing an edit of some footage I shoot for a music video shoot. I was b-cam so this was just for me. Proxy footage was being used. I was in multi cam and had finished all editing and was now adding effects plugins. I was at the last edit working on a ramp speed effect to end it with. When out of no where FCPX just crashed. You know the old, do you want to send Apple a message bla bla bla. I reopened thinking I would only have lost the last few effects, but to my amazement they where all gone. Nothing left in my project window. I dropped the multi-cam back on to the timeline and yes all the edits and effect where gone. So much for the auto save function. Is there any way to be sure this thing is saving? If I was going this for a client on any kind of deadline I would have been screwed. Now just very annoyed. 🙁

I have had numerous crashes, but have only lost an edit once, which is once too many. FCPX needs some method of versioning or to bring back the autosave concept. I’ve heard buzzes that this is being worked on.
That being said, is there a backup project in your Final Cut Projects folder? That might recover some of your edits.

I purchased Backups for FCPX. I couldn’t take anymore chances. Check it out here.
