Hi.
By importing a sequence do you mean that this is done via an XML file? I’ve actually not had good luck with importing an XML file into this particular project and I am wondering if there is another way to simply “import a sequence from another project version”.

I am working on a music project where one editor is working on all of the performance footage edits and another is working only on the BTS footage. We plan on meeting soon and re-combing our work back into one session but the only way I can see to do that now is by the use of an XML file which seems to not be working properly.

Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Thanks.

The link (Treasured) seems like a really great option. However, this footage was luckily not very important and I’m researching free options. I ran a diagnostic via the Treasured software and it seems to only be able to repair the same amount of footage as what is already recognizable at this point.

I really appreciate your help and hope more responses come in.

Thanks!

I erased the thumbnail scratch inside the following path and it fixed my problem…

Users/Documents/Final Cut Pro Documents/Thumbnail Cache Files/

there were two files and I erased them both while my hard drive was off and disconnected and FCP 7 was shut down. Upon reopening the session everything was back to normal.

I used to think Mac and FCP would be the end all answer to my crashing problems…nothing is perfect.

Thanks for the info cow guys!

I just spoke with a representative from Sonnet Tech today who told me that achieving raid 5 on a laptop is not possible with the g-speed es to Sonnet Tech Express34 port multiplier eSata card. However, I seem to get conflicting answers when researching all of this.

The gentleman I spoke with went on to confirm that the driver for this particular card I was using to connect the 3tb G-Speed es to my MBP would be updated for snow leopard by October 2009. When I spoke with G-Tech they told me that I needed to purchase a Pro version of the eSata connection before I could run in Raid 5. I don’t know who to believe.

At this point I am just waiting for a driver for the Express34 eSata connector card so I can at least run in Raid 0 or Raid 1 on my MBP.

Wish I would have heard of all this before I threw away $800 on a 3TB array that has the same level of safety as my crappy WD hard drive!

Happy computing…
