Hi Sean,

the same happened once to me. The project may get corrupted if it was in the process of making a back-up. Where do you save your back-ups of your projects? It should be a folder called “Final Cut Backups” (I store it on my internal drive under Movies).
Click on the library ->Click File-> Open from Back up and choose your last back up. You will have to relink your media (I had to).

After restoring your Event/project from the back-up you might want to duplicate it and continue your work with the duplicate just to be on the safe side.

I had the same problem with DaVinci 10 XML roundtrip to FCPX. I talked with the Black Magic support and they said clearly the actual DaVinci XML works only with FCPX 10.0.9 at least (the XMLs are otherwise not compatible). So you either upgrade FCPX (which yes, implies an upgrade to Maverick) or you use an older version of DaVinci.

Agree with James Cude, the best thing is to reshoot or just forget the clip. But if you want you can play around in Motion with the Sharp effect

Can you give more details: what Codec has your footage? Is it AVCHD? Twixtor won’t work well with H264, you have to convert it to Apple ProRes.
The wavy/ fluid effect (warping) may come from the motion sensitivity setting in the effect itself – by default is it set to 71%, if you slow down to 10% you should adjust the motion sensitivity to around 20%, but you can play around which setting works best. Also it works better if you add the black generator (sorry, I have FCPX in German) to the timeline after the clip you want to slow down, add both to a compound clip and on this compound clip you add the Twixtor effect
Here you have also a great tutorial from Revision Effects:

I hope so, right now I am backing everything up and than I’ll install OS 10.8. The card should be here on Tuesday and I already have 20 GB RAM – should be enough for a decent small 4K time lapse project.

Hi thanks, I intended anyway to upgrade to Mountain Lion, I just didn’t want that lousy 10.7. Would be great if my problems would be solved that easily.
And additionally I just ordered an ATI HD 5870 to be on the safe side. Meanwhile my screen has dancing little dots all over. Hmmmm

Cheers,

Anna
