Hey there

glad someone is out there having the same problem as I am 😉 not alone anymore…

I have this problem ALL the time.

I haven’t manage to pin point in particular what is the cause because I edit with 3 other mac, across a Cat-6 intranet and accessing multiple files in the eSata on each mac…In short…it’s a mess.

when one of the mac shuts down or crashes, this happens. I can’t save the project, files goes offline, and sometimes, all the Mac crashes at the same time because we link the files all across like a chain.

what my advice is not to panic, and try to “Save Copy As” the copy locally in your Documents / Desktop…keep trying until it saves or if it doesn’t work by the 10th time…

find your autosave projects.

BUT remember always to re-save a new version once you open the autosave file.

i can have project_v1A.fcp till project_v1Y.fcp if it requires..

hope it helps…and good luck.
