I'll be the first to admit, I've got a mess on my hands.
I don't know what caused it. I hooked up to the Internet for the first time in over a year and went to apple.com to update garage band and the window popped up and asked me if I wanted to update several files, I clicked "okay" and -- you guessed it -- over 30 applications were updated in my FCP5 Studio, including the OS.
After that everything seemed to work better, but I sent a project to Soundtrack Pro and when I tried to get back -- 25% of my files had gone off-line. In fact, as I was editing, a whole other bunch went off-line, until the whole project was off-line.
"Don't upgrade in the middle of a project" -- true, true.
Anyway, sorry to go on and on -- I'm sure you know about all this stuff. But here's my question:
On the project I was working on,
1. I ended up with two trailer timelines and two project timelines -- 4 tabs in my timeline window.
2. I ended up with two browser tabs and a whole bunch of files, which I recognize and I know what they are.
How do I separate the two trailer projects and the two feature film projects (2 versions) and end up with four separate timelines and four separate projects?
Is there a way to close each tab and each project separately so all of them don't open up at the same time as ONE PROJECT?
It's hard for me to remember which project is which when I'm editing.
Note: if you're wondering if I managed to reconnect my off-line files, yes, I did it. LOL -- I wish I'd written down what I did, because I'll never be able to do it again.
