    Project keeps freezing – after external hard drive was pulled out

    Posted by Dave Atkinson on May 31, 2015 at 9:16 am

    Hi

    I was editing in FCPX when my external hard drive was accidentally pulled out. The application froze and now I can’t reopen that same project without FCP freezing.

    Any assistance would be SOOOOO appreciated as I would really like to get this project back.

    A bit more information that might help:
    – The library and source files are all stored on the hard drive that was pulled out
    – I am editing with Final Cut Pro X V10.1.4
    – I can open other projects and events but as soon as the project I was working on even appears in the browser (before I have even attempted to load it) it freezes

    If I am unable to recover this project, is there any way you can delete a specific project without going through the FCP application?

    Thanks

    Dave

    Try opening a backup before the drive was pulled.

    File > Open Library > From Backup and choose a date and time from before the nefarious cable snatcher showed up.
