Final Cut Pro 5.1 General Error 41
• General Error 41 by Steve Tamou on Sep 28, 2009 at 3:07:53 am General Error 41. That is what I am getting when I try to open any of my FCP projects. Does anyone know what is the problem and how can I fix it? Thank You Very Much. Return to posts indexReport Post •Re: General Error 41by Craig Thomas Quinlan on Sep 28, 2009 at 10:56:02 pmPeople usually get this error message when they are trying to open up a FCP project file in an older version of FCP than it was made on (5.1 project file on 5.0, for example.) However, this message is one of a few ambiguous errors that come up in FCP, so standard troubleshooting applies - trash your prefs using Preference manager, try opening the project file on another machine, ensure that all versions of FCP between machines are the same, etc., etc. You might also try opening earlier versions from your autosave vault and do a Save As, in case this error references a corruption in the project file.

Projects created in FCP 5.1.4 will not open in previous updates, which is what the General Error message is all about. Duane E. Martin Earth to Sky Pictures Inc.

My internal hard drive died and had to be replaced. Fixed that... reinstalled all the programs... went to get back to my edit, opened my project file and General error (41) popped up. I save my program files and media on my 500 GB external FireWire drive, never had a problem before the internal hard drive issue. Read through numerous final cut threads, but never found anything about issues arising out of internal hard drive replacement. I reset my user prefs, but it didn't work. Can I request Duane's expertise? Do you need more info? Please help, N Ignore the attachment please.

General Error 41 is usually displayed when trying to open a project file with a version of Final Cut that is lower than the version in which it was created.
