Users cannot take ownership of a project if they have received an “Access
Denied” error when trying to save the project. The user must choose

overwritten.
When receiving the access denied message, attempting to save a project,
a tmp.xxxxx file is produced in the projects directory. It is safe to delete
these files.

As” from within Final Cut Pro or Adobe Premier and save as a new
project.
