Found Auto Save vault and that opened. I then went back to the problem fcp file after saving it to another drive and bringing it back to the auto save vault it now is opening with a reading project progress bar. I did dump wave form caches and some of the other caches. Don't know if that played into it. Not sure why I get the reading project progress bar now, perhaps that's typical when bringing in a FCP project from another computer the first time? When I did try to open the saved project the first time it opened a registration dialogue box asking for the serial number for FCP then after copying that project file back to my start up drive it did launch and now is slowly reading the project.

Posting this to FCP-L and Avid L-2. I've been doing the QC shuffle tests with FCP balking at reading file all my other programs read. The problem is that FCP 7 misses several frames of the audio at the top of the file. I created an FCP 7 project and brought in the files QC was flagging and I could recreate what they were seeing.
Today after deleting many of the FCP 7 projects referenced files I find when I open FCP 7 it hangs some time after telling me it can't detect a firewire device and I click continue. The FCP 7 preference was default to open the last project opened. I'm figuring by deleting several of the test files the project referenced FCP 7 is now searching for the files and either hanging or this takes a long time to exhaust the search.
I unmounted my media drives and restarted my mac pro 2010 souped up to 12 core and I still get the stall but with the media drives offline/unmounted I get a prompt fcp is searching for a tone .mxf file. I click ignore or whatever the dialogue is and then it hangs again with a spinning ball.
I deleted the project I'd been using but FCP7 still hangs, or is it doing a long search for media? Is there a way to delete a preference file or something so FCP 7 will forget it is supposed to open a previous project? I know that behavior can be changed once FCP 7 launches but I can't get it to launch now.
I would have thought the missing files would just trigger the reconnect box which I was getting when opening the project last week as a few files that I had initially used have been deleted. I'm going to go into google mode but figured those with FCP 7 chops must have seen this behavior and have a suggestion or two. TIA
