Sequences corrupted
A fellow editor working on a dual 2gig G5 with 2 gigs of RAM is having big bad problems with his sequence. He’s completed a much of a 30 min show, but now whenever he makes simple edits is screws up his whole sequence. In the sequence, clips look as though they’ve vanished, but if you hit play video will show up in the canvas. Clips grow or shrink randomly, and gaps appear where they shouldn’t. He’s locked into copying the finshed work into a new sequence every time he makes a change. Anyone ever had this happen to them? We’ve trashed prefs, etc, but nothing is working. Any suggestions? Please post questions if this isn’t clear enough. Thanks!

Sounds terrible.
Try leaving the Project, go to a Project you know works, then from THERE create a third Project. Create a timeline. Go to the corrupted timeline and select all and copy, and paste in the new Project.
Deselect in prefs “open last Project” or something like that.
Close FCP. Reboot, Open just the good timeline.

Thanks for the suggestion!!! We had tried that one too, though. The other editor actually went to the apple support pages and found out that there’s a bug with cmd-z undo and ripple delete. Somehow it corrupts the sequence. Here’s the link: https://discussions.info.apple.com/webx?14@@.68b9545e/8 It may also have something to do with how our drives are formatted. For a good reference on that go here: https://www.kenstone.net/fcp_homepage/good_apps_gone_bad.html
The good news is that we’ve been able to continue editing without ripple delete, and we were able to get an extension on a deadline (wow, how often does hat happen!?)
I hope no one else has had to go through this, but if you have, I hope the above links help.
