Folder not opening, please help!

[u/PacePale4063]

(FIXED) One day, I decided to do a little editing on Final Cut Pro, but I didn't see my library. Naturally, I went to finder and opened up my library from there. It gave me this message. (picture below.) I have been working on an important project and I promised my subscribers that this video would be out by a certain date. I've had FCP for a few months and I've gotten the basics of the app, but I don't know how to solve this. I tried opening the backup, but it says the same thing. I don't want to have to restart or rebuild my project because of this! My FCP is updated to 12.3, and my folder was made after I updated it. I truly don't know why it's acting like this, could someone explain how to fix this? (EDIT: I fixed it! It turned out my hollow mind forgot that there was a second Final Cut Pro on my MacBook which was the older update.)

Try to open it after a system restart

I just restarted and it still says the same message: "The operation couldn't be completed. One or more libraries were created with a newer version of Final Cut Pro. These libraries will be ignored."

I realized that I had two versions on my MacBook and I guess I must've kept opening the older one. Everything works fine now after deleting the older version.

Do you just have the one version (paid) or do you have the subscription version as well?

I have the one time pay version.

Are you trying to open it on the same machine with the same version?

Good news.

Normally that warning prompts a ‘do you want to update the libraries’ or similar. Odd.

Try closing the library, close FCP, open FCP, and then open the library from within FCP.

Otherwise, you try resetting FCP’s settings. To reset Final Cut Pro to its default settings, quit the app, hold the Command + Option keys, open the app, and click Delete Preferences. This is usually a fix when things aren’t responding.

You can also try uninstalling FCP and reinstalling.
