First of all I’m really sorry to hear this.
I don’t have an answer but suggest you do the following..
First fill out a feedback form on the apple website https://www.apple.com/feedback/finalcutpro.html , apple do read this and in similar instances apple have contacted people.
2nd, repost this here as a new topic – more people will see it and might respond.
Good luck.

Sorry but I don’t get it…
Thunderbolt was designed to bring PCIe connectivity to computers that don’t have room for PCIe cards like laptops.
The whole point about about a tower is that it has, well room for expansion.
For a start are we going to see graphics and display card manufactures to incorporate thunderbolt connections which will only work on a hand full of monitors?

Yes I know that and OK, maybe that’s enough to protect you from a corrupt file after a computer freeze, although the jury still appears to be out on that.
However, I would still like the ability to have the autosave live on a different drive. I have had hard drive’s crash on me at the wrong time and I can do without the rise in my blood pressure thanks.
Personally I have a USB thumb drive that lives in my computer all the time and that worked perfectly under FCP 7.

Well… it says its opening the XML file but then reports the error “Mixed frame rate sequences are not supported”.
Which would be fine but my frame rates aren’t mixed!

Seems like it might be something to do with multicam. A non multicam test XML works fine.

Hi Peter,
Didi you get to the bottom of this? I’m now having the same problem with Resolve Lite.
Cheers.

[Bill Davis] “For the single seat user, just slap a drive on the system and let Time Machine mirror the state of your Event and Project libraries on a regular basis. Done.
Personally, I haven’t lost a single project in nearly a year of working with X and that one was in V1.2 and I was able to recover my TimeMachine clean copy and go back to work in about 10 minutes.”
But time machine is only does hourly backups. I don’t know about you, but in my edits a lot can change in an hour, hell I’ve done edits that last shorter than an hour!

For exactly the reasons Jeff said – I’ve found it to be the most versatile backup app in terms of customisation.

Nope it will work for that – its exactly what I do.
I have a G-Tech 2TB RAID3 drive which is my main work drive and is called “Video 5”. I use Chronosync to back up to a folder on my Drobo called “video 5 copy” which itself lives in a folder called “work”.
works a treat!
The Drobo is always online and FCP X doesn’t see the copies of Video 5’s event and project files as they aren’t in the root folder.

Create a folder on you destination disk called “FCP X backups” or whatever and then use Chronosync to sync the project drive to that folder…
Its what I do to back up my G tech to my drobo…..
