    I’ve gone through other posts in the forum to figure this one out and nothing seems to have worked. The timeline on my project will not open and it just says there is a general error, and out of memory. The other projects I open have no problems.

    I recently had this same problem on a project where I had “borrowed” alot of media from other projects on the system
    without going through media manager to create new copies. In many cases, I was even utilizing media that was captured
    for “project A” then borrowed for “project B” and then borrowed again for “project C”. I was never able to recover the lost
    timeline, but the pro support people from Apple agreed that this might be a problem depending on how many layers
    were involved, and if any of the media was nested. Long story short, they recommended going through media manager
    to create clean copies of the media – especially if alot of media was being accessed from different source files.

    What codec is the footage in?

    I have seen this happen when using footage in the Avid Codec in an FCP timeline.

    All the footage is in Quicktime. I put it into Premiere and had no problems. I’ll run this project through that.

    [Paul Dzurec] “All the footage is in Quicktime.”

    I know….I was talking about the Avid Quicktime Codec.

    anyway…there are some codecs that FCP does not like. glad you got it to work in premiere.
