    I am trying to find a sequence I renamed and saved a few days ago. I did a finder search for it but it isn’t found. I am used to the Media 100 where the sequences are saved as separated named files that can be searched and opened irrespectively of what project is open at the time. Now in FC I’ve been very disorganized with several projects I have been working on simultaneously for a while and have numerous projects (copy of, copy of a copy, sequences saved in the other projects, etc) Now unsurprizingly I don’t find the sequence in any of them. Any advice on how to find it?

    could it be that while copying a copy of a copy you crashed? reverted? accidentally clicked no when fcp asks you whether to save or not? duplicated and kept working on the same file? and that the sequence doesn’t even exist?

    mess always brings more mess 🙂

    hope for you this didn’t happen next to a client

    did you try autosave?

    No it wasn’t a for a client fortunately. It did crash but I believe I had hit the save all command several times that day. The next day I opened and couldn’t find it. If I change a sequence name is it supposed to be a searchable named file in addition to the project name?
