Re: Truly saving a project so you don't lose it

Although this doesn't answer your specific question, it's a suggestion for additional safety when backing up a project. I keep a minimized window of a folder on a different drive with backups of fcp projects.

While editing I navigate to the minimized view of two folders: one is my working edit drive with the project, the other is a folder on another drive. I simply Option drag (copy) the project to the other drive.

This window arrangement lets me do it quickly and easily at brief intervals. If my project gets corrupted or the drive fails, i have a good recent project backed up on the other drive.

Makes no sense that your project is not saving when you do "save". Ya think your scratch disk got changed and you didn't notice?

PowerPC G5 DP2.3, 4GB DDR SDRAM, ATI X800XT, OSX.4.11, QT 7.5.5, FCStudio2, FCP 6.0.5 Sonnet 5 Bay SATA (RAID or JBOD as needed), ACD 23" & Sony NTSC Monitor via Matrox v.1
