Project in 5.1.2 wont open
Help I can’t open my project in FCP 5.1.2. When I try and open my project I get “This project is unreadable or may be too new for this version of Final Cut”. I am using the latest version…and have been for over 3 weeks with no problem.
Sad and scary thing is that I have commited the greatest editing sin of not making backups and or using autosave vault. Ouch!
I am on a a dual 2.5 G5 with 8gb ram and aja kona 2 hardware. My media is JVCHD capture 720p and last thing I did before crash was click on media in one of my bins.
PLEASE….help anyone…
Hector

project looks like it is about to open, starts reading then about 15 percent into opening i get the dasterdly message prevoiusly mentioned

Did you figure this out yet? I’m having the same problem right now… I was using 5.1.2 on a powerbook G4, and now I’m trying to use 5.1.2 on a Macbook Pro with the same .fcp file and it gives me the same message. It gets to about 25% of opening before the message appears. Any advice?

I thought I was trashing my preferences correctly, however I was not.
To simplify trashing preferences (and backing up prefs as well) use FCP Rescue 5. This a free app and can be found at https://fcprescue.andersholck.com/
This worked for me…so far
good luck
