    Hi, my names Cheets and I have been editing some episodes of a movie review show. I just went to open up my current project and every things from projects to events is completely gone. When i went to re-open the CurrentVersion.fcpproject of one of the projects it came up with the following error screen

    Any thoughts? Probably need to just re-connect the media for some reason. Does anyone know how to re-connect the media, or even open up an previously existing project.

    Can you try to upload the screen shot again. Make sure the preview looks good before you post.

    This same thing happened here: https://forums.creativecow.net/thread/335/23141

    Moving the files to an external drive seemed to cure the problem, sort of.

    We never did get down to the issue as the original poster seemed to give up after a while, but it seems that it was some sort of permissions issue. For some reason, the files on the internal hard drive seem to become “locked out”.

    Sorry I can’t be of much more help.

    Matthew –

    This sure sounds like some kind of disk problem, whether it be a permissions setting or kind of disk error. I have not yet seen this and I have moved projects around on many multiple machines without issues. However, I routinely run fsck and also DiskWarrior on my drives. I would give Apple a call about this, follow the prompts or ask for Final Cut Pro support. I’ll bet they have some record of it, if not they can probably walk you through some troubleshooting.
