How can I view the timeline in project? Timeline went missing

Hello dear friends,

I'm desperate here. I created a Library in FCPX and I had been working on a timeline with clips of music, audio and titles i the timeline. I don't know what I did but the timeline no longer shows the work I had been working on. How do I show the timeline again?


Thank you in advance for any help.

Look in the Browser where your clips are stored and you should find your project.


Double-click it to launch it into the timeline.


Your projects look like these . . .

Hi Ian, thank you for your reply and it helped. I did not click on the video that is the pane on the right. I had thought that video was an imported asset and so I didn't click on it thinking it was one of the video I had shot on my camera. I'm an idiot but thanks to cool folks like you, idiots like me can somehow stumble around the world and somehow survive. Thank you so much for the invaluable help, it was great 🙏

HaithamMogherbi - As a new user of FCP, you can save yourself a whole lot of time by watching these:


Steve at Ripple Training's 60 minute FCP overview https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HqUP7Zgeuck


Izzy Video tutorials https://youtu.be/_jvyrnQpR1E?list=PLp5SAgbM8S87n1qvv34-PAU2zMHLlXyfb

This one uses a previous version of FCP but the concepts are exactly the same.
