well, yes we’re salvaging the program at the replicators… they have an intact QuickTime they can grab that section from and lay it in… but FCP6 is apparently badly corrupted. I did finally get the app to open using a new user name, but it still gave me numerous (like six or seven) permissions denied to a variety of different things. when I finally got the program open, and could see the timeline, many shots were missing. something happened the first time I tried to open it earlier. I was able to access the scratch disk page and thot I’d uncheck the raid (it’s the only drive I have), and when I did so I was warned that something had to be selected. I proceeded, unchecked all the boxes, and when I did so, the raid went from .5TB to 2.5TB space available. somehow, 2TB of media either disappeared or is just not showing up. hence, I assume, the loss of shots in the sequence. I will shortly have a copy of FCP7 and be able to do a quick install and see if I can open my program there. think that will work… will an FCP6 project open in FCP 7?
If that seems to be working ok, I will then try to reconnect the missing media or do further research into where it has gone. I can do without the show playing correctly for now, but ultimately will have to get all the pieces back together. oh, and to answer ur question, mark… I repaired permissions on the internal drive, but disk utility will not let me repair permissions on the raid for whatever reason. more will be revealed. thanks for ur input… please let me know if you have additional thots. mahalo, mick
