Corrupted File

Final Cut Pro Glossary

What does it mean when a file is corrupted? In most cases a corrupt file is one that doesn’t behave as expected or is unusable. A power outage, failing hardware, and poorly coded software are all triggers that can corrupt a file. There might be steps you can take to prevent files from becoming corrupt but the most important step you should take is to create a backup. If a file becomes corrupted, use the backup to restore the file.
