General Error Blues
Hi herd,
I’ve run in to the dreaded general error on attempting to open an old FCP project that has been archived. Running FCP5.1.1 on 10.4.8, and AFAIK the project was created on same.
I’ve tried –
Repairing permissions
FCP Rescue
Checking all read/write statuses (statii?)
Looking in the autosave vault.none of the autosaves of this particular project will run.
I’ve recreated the media paths (media was backed up to a 500gig lacie) and also tried with all media drives off to no avail.
I’m now officially stumped. Not a showstopper, as an earlier version (saved under a different name) opens fine, but the info in the later project would save me a lot of time.
Ruminate on that one fellow bovines!

Just to add…
I did do a search and used some of the suggestions I found therein – but to no avail. In case anyone was wondering, I know – ‘the search button is my friend…’

Hi
I was talking to a colleague who has this sort of problem last night – it had been suggested to him that he set up a new OS X User account, and try the FCP project from there.The inference being that this might be an OS X + FCP problem, not just an FCP issue.

Thanks Paul,
I’ve managed to solve it by opening on a different machine – the project opened fine – and then transrferring files to a new project, transferring to the old machine and going from there. I think you could be right about OSX/FCP…
