Import Error

Posted by George Orallo on March 30, 2007 at 3:08 pm

Hey Guys,

I’m having trouble imorting anything into FCP. If i try to import any sort of file i get…

FILE ERROR: 1 File(s) Recognized. ) Acces Denied 1 unknown

I have had this probaly for a few days. I’ve actually had to jump between 2 sets of User Prefs. (the previous editors Prefs and a set taken off a laptop) One set let’s me import but no edit to tape and the other would edit to tape and no import. Last Night my IT guy upgraded the OS to Tiger and a freash install of FCP, (but it looks like the old Prefs and setting are in there) and now neither set of Prefs will import.I am AVID guy who worked on a PC for the few years so I’m not exactly sure what to do or am I missing something?

We are running FCP 5.0 on MAC OS X Tiger and I’m waiting for IT to upgrade to 5.1.

Sounds like you might have a file permissions problem. This overview might help:

The only thing you can miss from your old prefferences are the “Favorites” that will dissapear. So if you don’t have some special
“Favorites” to keep, just trash the old prefferences. If the problem continue after trashing the preffs, as Steven says, repair permissions, run maintenance, and DiskWarrior or Techtool. Anyway all thsi you should do it in a regular basis to make your system goes smooth.

HI,

I am haivng the SAME exact issue today.

DID YOU SOLVE YOUR PROBLEM?

PLEASE LET ME KNOW HOW?

My Story………

Working DV/NTSC on G5 Dual Gig (pre-Intel). Final Cut Pro 5.1.4
Sudenly I can not import .movs, or ANYTHING into Final Cut???
Rebooted. Reset Scratch Disks. Trashed Prefs. Zapped PRam Rebooted.RE-installed 5.1 App and 5.1.4 Upgrade.
Same problem. Even if I open a new Project try ANY .mov (from asst drives that all worked and are standard DV .movs.)
Still can not Import anything into Final Cut.
My Other Apps (ie: AFter Effects) have no import problems, and QT plays all the movies fine on its own.

ANYONE HAVE ANY IDEAS ON THIS ONE?

FYI

When I try to Import anything (either by drag and drop or Command-i) I receive and Error Message stating: FILE ERROR: Unknown File.

This happens with .movs, jpgs, aifs. and even pre-existing QTs captured in FCP(that all were fine).

I have also verified Permissions, (HD passes Utily tests,) trashed all prefs and FCP.pkg contents and reinstalled and updated FCP again. Same issue.

ANY SUGGESTIONS?

THANKS!
TIm
