  • General Error when opening fcp project.

    Posted by Someone Special on July 21, 2012 at 4:57 pm

    Hello,
    I have been editing a project for several months now. Now when I open the project, I get the General Error Out of memory dialogue and my main sequence wont open. It is mostly mp4 files, which from research I now know FC does not handle well. I was able to work with it up until now so it was never much of a problem. The sequence I was working on opened a couple days ago but if I touched it I got the Error message and it went away. Now it doesn’t open at all, the rest of the project is there just not the sequence I need. I just need to open that sequence one more time so I can export it. Please Help!

    Try making a copy of the project and open up the copy. I have seen the same issue with FCP because of MP4s. Fom my experience, there’s not much around it.
