I found this thread very helpful so I thought I would add what has worked for me. It is in line with all of teh above but there was an odd start to it

To start with the entire sequence was rendered … except for a photoshop file bit.
But I thought the issue was plug in I had just put in so I uninstalled it and still no love.
Then I decreased the size of the project by 50% – from 110MB to 56MB – still no love
Then I went into render manaager and deleted all my render files and when I went to re render – No love!! This was scary. Then **I took baby steps and rendered bit by bit***
Eventually I found the culprit. A different photoshop image from the one that I could not render initially…..The different on had rendered before but was now stopping stopping the system?
So I have skipped it. Am still rendering the entire sequence (10 minutes) and I thought I would write while I wait. I am confident I will find a work around for the culprit.

Take from the above what you will !

Thank you Creative Cow.

I do not feel like there is an easy answer to this.
I am still on FCP 6.06 and there is no auxillery timecode when I right click it on the viewer.
Looks like going to each clip and Modify>Timecode is the most appropriate solution.
I am sure it is the Call me Kucha lady.
The best of luck to you.

I am finding out more as we go along… It looks like the hard drive the media on is dying slowing. I disk utilitied it and it refused to repair it warning me to back everything and re format as quickly as possible. i am currently doing that but i am still totally intrigued as to why my FCP file is refusing to open. ALL of them even ones I TIME back up months ago. All copies of this monumental work is refusing to open and the first files to die in the dying hard drive (which is not where all the scattered copies of the FCP file is) are the ones associated with this file !!

I have not got the media backed up because of its volume but the FCP files !!! All of them ???

I had my mother board changed a few weeks back but the other FCP files all open fine? ! I mean even the autosave files… It keep telling me that it must have been made in a newer version..

Also right before my eyes the media folder (on the dodgy drive) just disappears and re appears again…
and it looks like the media really is not there…when I do info and calculate file sizes… it just is not there..

this is too wierd… any one please…

one more thing … on the hard drive where I have my media everything else is still there…

thank you

Dear Warwick,

i am having the same trouble and there was a lightening storm yesterday and after reading your post i am scared sh*tless.

Also I am travelling and do not have my serial number on me. I am too in desperate need of it to work because i am travelling and filming.

Please tell me you found another solution to the problem.
