I just wanted to throw a little helpful advice in here that may or may not apply to someone’s problem – I had a problem opening a very important project; I was getting the spinning beachball and the program would freeze. Very distressing as it was over a year’s worth of work! I tried substituting the back ups as suggested in this thread, but it didn’t work. Then I realized that since a few updates ago, FCPX has been crashing every time I tried to use any of the “C2” effects or transitions. AH-HA! I removed the C2 stuff from the library and presto, everything opened just fine! I had used those effects in the project before the updates but now the new FCPX was choking on them. Dumped ’em and I was good to go!
I hope this helps someone as I know how frustrating it can be when you’re hung up on technical problems.
Thanks to all who contribute! 😀
