Restore a Final Cut Pro library
Final Cut Pro makes automatic library backups at regular intervals. Backups include the database portion of libraries only, not the media files. Backups are saved with the time and date in the filename.
By default, Final Cut Pro saves backups to the Final Cut Pro Backups folder in the Movies folder, but you can change the backup location. See Set storage locations in Final Cut Pro.
Final Cut Pro automatically deletes library backups that are more than several days old.
In the Libraries sidebar in Final Cut Pro, select the library
you want to restore.Choose File > Open Library > From Backup.
Click the “Restore from” pop-up menu and choose a backup from a specific time and date, or click Other and navigate to a different backup file to open.
Click Open.
The backup is added as a library in the Libraries sidebar.
Note: The backups are standard Final Cut Pro library files, so you can also open them by double-clicking them in the Finder. See Intro to managing libraries in Final Cut Pro.
