Upgraded system drive to SSD, now FCPX won’t properly open Library
-
Screenshots do help a lot.
-
Do you have the latest version of the effect?
-
Actually, plugin is uninstalled and Project still just Beachballed….So, have to force quit either way..
Is there any kind of “rebuild” project thing or anything?
Screenshot attached.

Missing footage looks like this:
How long do you let it beach ball? Perhaps you should wait a little bit and let it catch up.
Do you have background rendering off?
-
That’s a LOT of events! Are they all for the same project, or is that all you FCP 10.0.9 events and projects bundled into 1 library? If so, when you updated to 10.1, did you opt to have X save backups of the projects and events in an old events / projects folder?
Did you use event manager X previously to manage all the events and projects? X performs better with fewer events mounted. Usually a library contains only the event for a particular project. But everyone works differently.
-
It’s all one project. Due to the nature of the Project, it’s the easiest way to manage the locations of all the material.
I used Event Manager to update the project.
What I find to be strange is that this was all working before the SSD upgrade, but something about that freaked it all out. Not sure what, it’s a fresh install of only the OS and FCPX.

Seems like it would be the opposite. How do you organize media across events? For example, you wanted a collection of all the close- ups of Fred. You have shots of Fred in many different events. If you had 1 event, with a keyword collection for each shoot day, you could create a keyword collection for Fred close-ups. You could also create a folder to neatly tuck away all the shoot day keyword collections as the media gets organized by other more relevant data. Just my .02
-
I’d let it beach ball for a while, see what happens.
If you open Activity Monitor, is FCPX doing anything, or does it say that it’s “not responding’?
-
Every shoot day is sort of its own encapsulated world. Put it this way. There is far too much media, separate system audio, multicam clips, etc to not break it up into respective worlds. For this project, this is the way to go. It’s just the delinking that I’m having issue with.
-
That’s a huge amount of data for FC to change to new folder structure. Maybe you should let it spin away over night. And I’d revisit the permissions suggestion. Get info on both the media drive and the folder containing the huge event and make sure you have read write permission. You might also try disk warrior and disc utility check of media drive. Did you check individual clips within the library to see if they play in QT in the finder?
