Yes. That’s why I’m so frustrated. I purchased this external hard drive to keep all the media off my computer’s drive. So, when I started the project, I went into the System Settings and changed the capture scratch and all the related documents to be saved onto the external drive. Therefore, the autosave vault is on the external as well. All of the autosave files are there and that’s where I tried to mess with the extension and retrieve the project, but I just keep getting the error message.
I know everything is there, but for some reason FCP and the external drive just aren’t communicating. When I first purchased the drive, I had some trouble configuring it, but I thought I had that worked out. Apparently that’s not the case.
I apologize for rambling. I hope the explanation isn’t too incoherent.
