Final Cut Pro X has been force closing on my computer.

I've been editing some footage that I filmed for my journalism class and as I was finishing the final details, FCP X shut down. I've tried opening the application again, but it's not working. I've shut down the computer but nothing has changed. I don't know what else to do.

Probably a corrupt file or project.
Move your events and projects to temporary folders then try again.
If it starts OK, you need to bring back the events and projects to their original locations one by one to find which one is causing the problem.
You could then narrow it down to the individual file or files using the same method.

  • Is there a way to roll ab roll and cut between the two as in final cut pro which has multi clip

    Is there a way to AB roll as in Final Cut Pro which has multi cut

    There is another workaround that enables you to see 2, 3 or 4 videos simultaneously and make decisions about where to cut from one to another.  It's not the exact same thing as FCP's multiclip feature but it does work.
    Download & install Piero's QuarterPIP filter.  Place each of your videos on a separate track (up to 4).  Apply the QuarterPIP filter to each, placing each video on a separate quadrant of the canvas.  (You may have to sync their placement on the track if there is common audio among them.)
    You can then play the timeline and see all 4 videos simultaneously in the Canvas.  You can then place markers and make cuts & deleted unwanted portions of selected tracks as desired.  The limitation is that you can't just cut from one track to another on the fly as you can in FCP - you have to actually cut & delete the portions of the video tracks that you don't want in the final video.
    When you are done you can remove the QuarterPIP filters and will be left with one resulting video.

  • How can I check to see if my version of QuickTime Pro 7.6.6 already has ProApps QuickTime Codecs installed? I also have Final Cut Pro 6. I'm asking because my computer can't seem to play ProRes 422 codec video without stuttering or skipping?

    I have a fairly capable MacBook Pro (2.93 GHzIntel Core 2 Duo processor, 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3 memory and a 1TB HD -5400 rpm, so I am hoping it's not that my computer that can't support it and it's something more simple like not have ProApps QuickTime codecs installed. Thanks in advance!

    If you can view a ProRes 4-2-2 video at all, then you either have the independent ProRes422 Playback component installed or the FCP "Pro" video components installed.

    Check your "~/Library/QuickTime" folder for your various "Pro" components. If in doubt that you have them all, re-run the FCP installer and it should add any missing components, apps, or utilities.

  • HT201541 Final cut Pro 10.0.8 was installed on my computer when I got it. It now will not work with  OS Yosemite. How do I get update for final cut?

    Final cut Pro 10.0.8 was installed on my computer when I got it.
    It now will not work with  OS Yosemite. How do I update Final cut so I can use it?
    I am new to Mac Book Pro so I need help!!!

    You get FCPX legally only via AppStore; it then gets 'bonded' to your AppleID/Appstore account.
    To update, log in with the Account you have purchased it - click update (for free)
    If you don't have the Account data, you're not owner of the software. No free drinks updates.
    Log in with YOUR ID, click purchase  - ring! 300$ .............

  • Final Cut Pro: Audio has gone Missing!

    I imported .XML files to Final Cut Pro X. I am using a cannon plugin to convert files. The sound is evident until the clips become 100% imported and then there is only sound at the beginning of each clip but not the rest of it. Where do I find the sound?
    P.s. Both the dialogue and video boxes are both checked.

  • Since upgrading to Mavericks, Final Cut Pro X has challenges uploading videos to You Tube

    Since upgrading to Mavericks OS X, when I upload a video from Final Cut Pro to You Tube it takes several tries to upload. The error message is: "Unable to share video to You Tube, Network Connection Timed Out (or Lost.(" On average it takes at least four tries. This absolutlely did not happen before the Mavericks upgrade. Any help would be appreicated.

    Typically people who run old OS versions hold on to them because certain software versions are most stable on that OS. (Or because their hardware doesn't support later versions.) And they are loath to try and do anything to disturb that eco system – accepting the fact that they are running a system that is no longer supported by the manufacturer and often the applications' developers.. For whatever reason, you disturbed that eco system by reinstalling the OS..
    Final Cut didn't upgrade itself. It's just that the version you had that was "running like a dream" is no longer available from the App Store…for your OS.
    If you want some ways out, either: restore the app from your system backup; upgrade your OS to at least Mountain Lion and you may he able to download an older version of Final Cut; or create a separate bootable volume and install a later OS that will support 10.1.x.

  • Final Cut Pro X: cancelled exporting process, file still on computer, but where?

    HI!
    I was exporting a project  from Final Cut Pro X, but I cancelled to process. I had chosen to save the file to external storage. My computer was processing the file to my computer and now after canceling  there is file with size over 30 gigabytes  on my computer but I don't have any idea where it is?
    I was exporting the project using compressor settings -not the best one choice, but the only thing I want now is to find the missing file and delete it.
    Share monitor gives me message: 3x Source file /var/folders/b4/y9pp857j2dx5mq4yp6nw3gqm0000gn/T/259EE137-52C2-47CD-AA69-DFAEB7 37E3B7.export-seq-id not found 
    Thanks a lot of your help!
           Christer 

    Hi,
    I didn't change the file name in the Save dialogue box and yes -I have certainly searched with spotlight and used all kind of methods to find the file.
    And there hasn't ever been any problems when canceling the process before this time.
    But I know much more after diagnostics in Apple repair service in Apple Authorized Service Provider (or what ever is the right term...). Like I wrote before, it's possible there are failures on hard drive and if the file has somehow got to the damaged place on hard drive, it's may be impossible to find the file without professional help. That's maybe not
    very common issue, but still possible. It will take week or more before I get their answer.
    I just hope I would have Final Cut on my iPhone....

  • What is the exact name of the cable I need to connect my old hard drive from my macbook pro (it has been taken out of the computer) to my new macbook pro?  I need to transfer files from the old hard drive to the new computer.

    What is the exact name of the cable I need to connect my old hard drive from my macbook pro, which has been removed from the computer, to my new macbook pro?  I need to transfere files from the old hard drive to the new computer.

    No eSATA to USB. Just a SATA/IDE to USB adapter. Google SATA/IDE to USB adapter and you will get tons of links to buy them. Most likely your local computer electronics store has them, although they might be more expensive buying locally than online.
    I have several. You can get either USB 2, which what I recommend, or USB 3. USB is backward compatible so a USB 3 adapter will work on a USB 2 port and a USB 2 adapter will work on a USB 3 port. Backward compatible in both directions.
    I suggest a USB 2 type because there have been some problems with certain USB 3 devices, the USB 3 interface used isn't all that good in those certain devices. USB 3 is still fairly new where as USB 2 has been around for over 10 years.

    Thank you LowLuster,
    At the apple store they said I needed an esata to usb wire.  But looking at wires on line has been confusing.  Is sata the same as esata?  How do I know if I need a usb 3 or usb 2?

  • Can Final Cut Pro 7 be installed on more than one computer?

    I am looking to purchase a Final Cut product, maybe Final Cut Pro 7, and wondering how many computers I can install the software on.  I'm doing some basic video editing stuff for a sketch comedy team and we use more than one computer at times for editing.
    Thanks

    You can install on (1) Tower and (1) Laptop, as long as they are both used by you, and NOT at the same time.  This is for when you edit on your tower, but then need to edit at home, or on the road.  You cannot use one copy of FCP on multiple machines at the same time.  You need one copy for each machine you intend to use at the same time.

  • How can i check if a Final Cut Studio licence has been used or not?

    Hello there,
    How can i check if my 'Final Cut Studio 3 Retail' set has a usuable licence or they have been used allready? It is second hand and i no longer have a Mac and wish to sell the product. In the box it has 2 of the same serials so i gather it can be used twice?
    Any help would greatly be appreciated
    Kind Regards
    Tim

    If your serial is printed on the official sticker you will have no problems and should the new owner register it, any previous registrations will be deleted.
    Officially you can only use it on one Desktop and one Laptop but there is no physical limit to the number of computers you can install it on.

  • I can't open a Final Cut Pro 6 file in Final Cut Pro 10.  Please help!

    I am a long time user of Final Cut Pro 6.  I finished a video for a client but my computer was giving me issues because it's older and needs cleaned off so it is slow and it's affecting the video.  I downloaded Final Cut Pro 10 trial on my laptop and tried opening the file in Final Cut Pro 10. No go.  I thought that it would open because usually it isn't a problem when trying to open older files in newer programs.  I understand, however, that Final Cut Pro 10 has been re-writted so it presents a problem.  Can anyone please help me with this? 
    Thanks

    Russ has answered your question.
    What follows constitutes bully pulpitism.
    Apple has a long history of abandoning legacy software and hardware. I would be VERY careful before I bought into the the next iteration of Apple software. The real conundrum is Adobe seems bent on extracting blood from stones with its new subscription model so it becomes a choice of lessor evils. Do you pick "the next great thing" (whatever that means) from a company that you know will cut you off at the kness or do you pick something that has a high degree of stability but will bleed you over the long run? 
    Not an easy choice.

  • Final Cut Pro X compared to FCE4, any thoughts?

    I have been using FCE4 for a while, but now I see Final Cut Pro X has been intrioduced.  Is it similar to FCE, and a natural upgrade, or is it different in what it can do?   Has anyone had a chance to compare them yet please?  Thanks, Keith

    when you say "the curent OS" do you mean Lion?
    The current OS is 10.6 Snow Leopard. The next OS is 10.7 Lion.
    So, maybe in a year or so you foresee that FCE will not be supported?
    The upgrade cycle of the OS is lengthening as it matures. I doubt very much that 10.8 (or whatever it will be called) will turn up within a year after the launch of 10.7
    The longer an app goes without an update the chances that it will not run on a new OS increses. But there is no certainty that FCE will not run on 10.8 or 10.9 or 11. Just it becomes more likely.
    For the next approx two years - which will be the lifetime of 10.7 - FCE will run. There is no certainty beyond that.
    But it will not be updated.
    Regards
    TD

  • Why is my Final Cut Pro Dropping Frames?

    Final Cut Pro 3 has been capturing media for years. Now every 20 seconds it says " Dropped frames." Is this because I updated to Mac OS 10. 4.9? Help. I'm frustrated.

    This is a known issue. Updating to 10.4.9 causes FCP 4.5 and earlier to drop frames when capturing. The solution? You'll need to archive and install the OS all over again, and get back to 10.4.8.
    Search the forums for 10.4.9 and FCP and you will fine MANY threads talking about this.

  • Can I download and use final cut pro 7 on new mac pro tower?,or I must work with the new final cut pro x only?

    can I download and use final cut pro 7 on new mac pro tower?,or I must work with the new final cut pro x only?

    Disclaimer: This response assumes that a "new mac pro tower" is the new cylindrical model.
    1. You cannot download Final Cut Pro 7. FCP7 is part of Final Cut Studio (2009) a.k.a "FCS3" and it was only released on a DVD set. It can still be purchased online (maybe even from Apple) for prices ranging from a few hundred to $1K and it is 5 years old and unsupported.
    2. Although there are reports of systems running FCS3 on Mavericks, there are also a host of problems associated with this OS/software combination.
    3. A new version of iMovie Pro Final Cut Pro X has been released which is reportedly very fast and is supported.
    It's all a matter of what kind of movies you make...
