Yes, but the backup project had the same issue. Trashing permissions didn’t help either.
What is really strange to me is that when I open the library package, the events are in separate folders as they should be, and the projects are in the right events with all of their data, but FCPX won’t see it correctly.
At this point I think I have to go ahead and start over (there is probably some lesson about external backups in there), but I would like to know what happened in case this occurs again.

No. I can’t think of anything that would have triggered it.

I just opened FCPX and tried both upper and lower field first. I also checked the “progressive” box (this is all in a 29.97i timeline). Nothing seems to fix this.

That is great news, thanks!
And to each his own, but I’m a fan. I much prefer the filmconvert looks to more standard LUTs that I have tried, and really appreciate that it works with my low-end setup (Canon 60D + Technicolor Cinestyle). More than anything else I’ve tried, this really makes my footage feel less like video and more like film (not an aesthetic that everyone wants or needs, but I like it)
It would be cool to see some vintage film stocks in the future besides the included Poloroid one too…

So we installed the video wall last night (9 LCD TVs in a 3×3 grid) and sure enough, the camera is recording decidedly cooler image than what you would see by looking at the TVs. Given our stage lighting, my camera’s white balance is in the 3,200K range and the TVs from the factory appear to be around 7,000K. I tried lowering the TV white balance to match the camera (thinking that I could just re-color the source media to compensate), but even at 3,000K the TVs still look much cooler on camera than in person. I have tried white balancing off the TVs themselves, but as you might expect everything else, including people standing on stage in front of them, look like orange oompa-loompas. I really need to figure out a solution to this, because the camera image is being projected onto screens to the sides of the stage, so you will notice that the TV wall is too cool.
Even if I could adjust the color temperature of the lights (I don’t think I can), would that really be enough to compensate for the intense orange color cast?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I do have control over the stage lighting.
Would matching the color temperature of the lighting to that of the video wall be enough? I am worried that when I white balance for that, my skin tones will still be off.
