Thanks i do understand that, my understanding is that they are not P2 files

heres what i got:

files in xml
files in mxf

none of which i can import.
trying to open the mxf files in xdcam transfer for conversion and wont accepts these, 0files, usually i have an icon pic of the files in mxf.

any solutions will be welcome

I cant tell you exactly which version of xml, lets assume the version is too new, what can i do?

[Rich Tru]

running FCP 5.0

However was working fine until recent – playback is very slow and satggers, stop start pause hanging etc, can’t view finished edit on palyback no smooth play motion.

thanks,

so heres what I have done, change the settings on autosave, rendered file, audio etc on FCP from Mac HD to external HD, thereby all new project savings will go to Ext HD, also moved Final cut pro document to Ext HD. Is this a start?

anymore actions that might help performance?

[Rich Tru]

so guys,

do i go to my cache, MacHD and select all files related tp FCP – create a folder on External hard drive and through them on there, then get TechTools and clean up the HD?

Your thoughts

[Rich Tru]

any freebies out there doing the same job..

[Rich Tru]

where should I be saving, and how do I clean up FCP and start again by moving all files to EXt hard drive, without disrupting too much and loosing stuff.

[Rich Tru]

Ok,

Macbook – FCP 5 – Mac 10.9.4

I save projects in the FCP default. some projects I have completed I store on ext hard drive. My projects are small 20sec – 10 min projects, DV files, Mov, Jpeg, etc nothing too big at all.

[Rich Tru]

I think its going to my internal hard drive, I have always been to scared to moving files to my external drive, so i only move the final rendered movie in codec and the fcp project over. As I say I have never gone into a cache and moved files or looked at any other rendered files, How do move them?

sorry dv format 1080i 25p – firewire direct into FCP
