Hi, i'm thinking about to start to use FCPX. Actually i use FCP7 and learning about AVID MC6., but i don't want miss the FCPX, i have doubt about, where the autosave projects files FCPX write. I know that not exist a Save Project button, because they do this auto. But if the project gonna be corrupted? Where i can find the autosave to restore?

See ya
 
Every time you do something FCPX updates it's database file in the project folder or events folder, so even if FCPX crashed while doing something else, you'd be up to date, unless of course something happened while it was updating it's database.

And then there is the database backup file!

So, the current database is the file called CurrentVersion.fcpevent (for the event) and CurrentVersion.fcpproject (for the project).

In each of the event and project folders there are also BACKUP database files names with a time & date stamp. To restore to a previous version you simply copy it back to the main event or project folder and rename it to CurrentVersion.xxx
