INTRODUCTION

if this is your problem final cut crashes when you try to open a particular library well here's the fix and a warning this is not a procedure if you're a novice it involves opening the protected final cut pro library bundle so get an experienced person to do it for you if you're unsure i'm happy to help just click training final cut pro.com

FLEXO LIBRARY

otherwise if you follow the steps in order you can't get it wrong make sure final cut's not running find the final cut library bundle in the finder right click on the purple icon that's not the words duplicate you'll see a copy below right click the purple icon that's not the words on the original library select show package contents now move the file that's current version dot flexo library to the trash close the package contents file now double-click the purple icon on the original library and first if final cut launches the problems fixed but

SHOW PACKAGE CONTENT

you need to verify and repair all the projects in the library i'll show you that later in the tutorial and you'll find a timestamp that takes you there in the description below and number two if final cut didn't launch would you double click the original library after trashing but be aware with this method you'll lose at least one project unlikely more but it is possible if you've only got one project in your library then there's no point in going any further because it won't be recovered with this method if you want to recover the other projects then this is what you need to do right click on the original library in the finder again show package contents and you're going to remove each project within each event folder until

REMOVING PROJECT

you get final cut to launch so you'll be removing projects in the event folders one by one until you find the faulty project whatever you do do not remove underscore temp or motion templates folders projects are in the event folders and there can be more than one project in any event folder these are projects within the event folder but how do you know i'll show you in a minute but first you need to sort out which are the event folders and you'll know it's an event folder because it contains a file called current version dot fcp event if you've got a lot of events and other folders showing i suggest you work through and find all the events and then color those folders right

PROJECT FOLDERS

click and select a color i'm using red in this case to make things hard the projects that you're going to remove are also folders within those event folders so now you need to find out what are the project folders and they will not be called analysis files original media render files shared items or transcoded media and when you open what you think is a project folder it'll have a file called current version dot fcp event and before you ask yes that's the same file name as in the open event folder same name but different contents don't mix them up i suggest you color the project folders with another color so you can recognize them later i'm using green in this case

CURRENT FUNCTION

now delete projects one at a time until final cut launches and if you think you know which project may be the damaged one we'll try that one first so you can compare the difference i'll show you now the projects as they are currently in final cut this is how to do it delete the current version dot flexor library file in the library folder this will be stored in the trash so you can replace it later if needed delete the first project file yacht races 1 in this case click on the top back chevron double-click the library icon if final cut launches you've found the damaged project if it doesn't launch though you need to replace that's put back the folder you removed and the current version.

ORIGINAL LIBRARY

flexor library file and how to do that we'll right-click on the original library and show package contents again press command plus c until you see the current version dot flexor library file and the yacht races 1 project folder you can also use the put back command by right clicking on the trash i suggest you color the project that you've tried with a different color so yellow in this case continue until final cut pro launches

ALL PROJECT

now that you've got the library to launch you need to verify and repair all projects to make sure they're okay and this is the simple bit select smart collections projects double-click a project to make sure it's open than the timeline hold the option key and select the clip menu you'll see a new command that wasn't visible before you have the option key down verify and repair project if all's okay you'll get a message no repair is needed at this time otherwise final cut pro will try to repair the inconsistencies for you continue until

TRAINING FINAL CUT PRO

you've verified all the projects with this method there'll be one project that can't be recovered that's because you've removed it but all the others will be available to you if you're looking for one-on-one tuition in final cut pro just click on training final cut pro dot com and i'll be happy to set up a personalized training program for you otherwise
